I have to say, generally I can follow articles pretty well. My mum worked for many years at the Toronto Star, I wrote an article for them, and in general I understand how they're supposed to work. Sometimes I venture off looking for articles that are on major news sites and pick one that takes the cake for awfulness. Today, an article on Fox News takes that cake. (the article can be found here )
It starts off semi-okay (yet still pretty strange and ill-handled), and I'm actually pseudo-interested and fairly surprised that they're covering this story at all. But it quickly descends into an account of why Maria Bello won't get married and then descends into something about pool parties (I have to admit that by this point I'd basically stopped reading because the subject in the article had changed at least three times and I'm not longer interested in the slightest). All this from an article whose headline is "Mummy' Actress Maria Bello Calms Woman During Midair Schizophrenic Attack".
To be honest, I still don't know what this article was about.

Dude, they call her a tart in the title of the article. WTF? How do you even make it past that?
Actually, it looks like "pop tarts" is the title of either the Fox news section or the people in charge of the section, and to save...space? Pages? they combined multiple articles.
They still aren't very good articles (Fox news, c'mon!), but there are three under the heading of "Pop Tarts".
