Yes, it was a headline which did not swear; it only appeared to.  Not
a good counter example :/
It danced around 'the line' a little, intelligently, which is very
common for light hearted sections of even very serious publications.
It gets a few smiles, and people are not 'offended' - they just move
on if they didnt like it, provided it isnt over-done.
