Headlines in the clouds

Fans of Huffington Post seem quite excited about this: The headline for today's top story is "No, YOU Lie" - but the Drudge-like snark isn't the point. Readers who think they can come up with a more clever headline (how hard could it be?) can Tweet their brilliance and have it join the #headlinehelp string.

From Huffington Post:
"No, YOU Lie" Can you write a better headline? Check our top story at http://huffingtonpost.com and reply with the hashtag #headlinehelp!
The contest has inspired lots of "pants on fire" riffs, but it's still not clear to me whether HuffPo plans to actually use any of the suggested headline.
