The Washington Post may have discovered the best way to battle the public’s penchant for only reading the headlines of stories before moving on — just don’t bother changing the text of said headlines from stock placeholders.

Of course, “Two lines of bank go right up here and here and here and here and here and down in herely and here and here and here and here and here and herely” probably didn’t draw in very many readers to Eli Saslow’s otherwise fine story — but we admire the experimentation on display.
