There are days when I think the folks writing headlines at CNN.com are genius, and there are days like today. Take this piece on the new Dakota Fanning vehicle Hide and Seek. The review, which is naturally quite negative, is headlined:

Hide and Seek Should Stay Lost

OK. So if it were a negative review of, say, the television series Lost or the William Hurt vehicle Lost in Space, that choice would have made sense. For example:

Lost Should Stay Lost

Or:

Lost in Space Should Stay Lost

You see, in order for the pun in that headline to work, the title needs to have something to do with the word "lost" or the state of being that is lost. The game hide and seek does not.
