‘Celebrity Sideboob,’ ‘Lindsay Lohan Saggy’: HuffPo Strains The Boundaries Of Acceptable Tagging

EOD TGIF: In online journalism, SEO juice is everything. Add as many tags to a story as possible and you’ll be crowned King Of The Google Results, presumably. It’s with this in mind, we imagine, that the Huffington Post decided on a series of utterly baffling tags about Lindsay Lohan’s breasts for a story titled “Lindsay Lohan Goes Braless And Flashes Major Side Boob.” With a charming headline like that, you’d think you’d be prepared for an onslaught of over-the-top, boob-related, search-term-friendly story tags. And yet, Huffington Post exceeded any and all expectations.
