The current tech slump has lots of people worried, but there is an upside: it has resulted in a huge increase in bad headline puns, such as Web Energy Provider Pulls Plug. Here are some of my favorites from the last couple of weeks.

• CNET: Nasdaq Could Take Webvan’s Stock Off Road
• Red Herring: Asia’s Dotlove.com looks a little jilted
• The Register: Oven.com pilot light goes out
• SiliconValley: Snowball.com Melts Staff by 20%

Hopefully, as the over-hyped Internet continues to have an attack of realism, we will at least have many more fun headlines to look forward to.
