People took to social media to decry the Wall Street Journal’s poorly-crafted headline that it published Wednesday when describing Japan’s red ant problem.
The WSJ’s “ Evacuate the Sandbox! Japan Is Freaking Out About Fire Ants ” headline sets up the article’s loquacious description of the “powerful fangs” belonging to the “miscreants now terrorizing Japan, ” namely, fire ants.
The title isn’ t the only pun in the WSJ’s article, however, with lines like “as more marauders breached the nation’s borders, television-news shows began fanning concerns of a crippling attack, ” and “to some outsiders, however, this island nation may be making a mountain out of an anthill.”
Readers were most disgusted with its Twitter title, and took to social media to express their feelings.
