It doesn't involve British breakfast food or violations of the Geneva Convention in WWII, but I saw a supermarket tabloid this weekend that was trumpeting two pieces of "news" just like this (imagine the text centered on the cover of the mag):

JOY!
Drew Barrymore
To Wed!
Courtney Cox's
Baby Girl!

Remove that second ! and it becomes a MUCH bigger story.
