Premature evacuation is back!

I noted with some humour (at the choice of headline, not the actual story!) a headline used on heraldsun.com.au today:

Premature Evacuation headline in the Herald Sun

It’s a headline that has probably been used several times before when the right news story pops up. I actually posted a blog article here in July 2007 about a similar one used for a Melbourne story in The Age:

I’m sure editors and sub-editors are itching to use this kind of headline whenever they have a suitable story!

So much so, a Google search reveals hundreds more examples of the term used (like this one from 2006 in the Dallas Observer)!
