Naked Swimmer headline

A little screen cap from the current SFGate.com front page:

Yes, I do find it interesting that someone was found in the bay, shouting for help, far enough out that the Larkspur Ferry was a reasonable rescue vesssel. Is it news? Don't know yet, depends on the circumstances surrounding how she got there. Is it news that she was naked? See previous sentence. Is pairing "Naked Swimmer Rescued By Ferry" with "Photos" good journalism?

Uhh... bet it gets clickthroughs, but...
