Pet Peeve of Mine

Among things that bug me, news headlines that are poorly written. 

Today online at a Spokane news station... 

"Family Attacked by Hammer Asking For Community's Help."  

Really? There is a homicidal hammer on the loose? And it's asking for the community's help? Should I be afraid of other tools as well, or is the hammer working alone?

    And why would a hammer asking for community help attack a family anyway? lol!

    Maybe the hammer is related to the Traveling Shovel of Death? Maybe it's a gang of tools gone bad!

    At least the hammer realizes it needs help.

    I think the community should help the hammer. I mean, it is asking, so maybe it's remorseful for attacking the family. Perhaps the community could get it into a good tool rehab program.
