Weak leads

Have you seen any intros you really thought fell flat? Post URLs here.
Here's a regrettable one. (It's actually a horrible transition into a lead but nonetheless...)

Interesting Leads

For the follow-up discussion to this week's lecture, please use the comments section to post URLs to 3 to 5 leads you think work well. Use the next thread to post 1 or 2 you think are weak.
To get started, here are five that really sucked me into the stories:
1. The Marriage Cure
2. My Addicted Son
3. Tiger Woods British Open
4. Crandon house demolition
5. Black hole
These are all media examples, but don't limit yourselves to that. Feel free to look for speeches, letters, reviews, anything.
