    Better headlines for VD press releases

    heart-diagram.jpgTech press releases are never that sexy, and today they're the worst. Since half of these companies are all hype anyway, they have no problem adding some awkward "romantic" spin and tossing out another flak piece. The copy's bad, and the titles are so urgent. They'd all sound better with new headlines:

    Sex-related search terms included "sex on the beach," "sex fantasy," and oddly enough, "sex gift basket." [Lycos]
    It's the thought that counts. Outsource your thought with our bot. [Smarter.com]
    Somehow, Christmas is relevant to our Valentine's Day product. [ShopLocal.com]
    Yeah, the only unsexy thing about shopping online is the load times. And the sitting at your computer in tattered underwear. [Ogilvy]
    One word: Sexploration. Okay, stop giggling, we're serious. [TRUE]
