“BEYONCE ORDERS IMAGE CHANGE”

While checking out breaking news on the BBC website on the budget of the 27-nation European Union budget for the next seven years (2014-2020) – a decision on which has just been agreed today by the European Council –  we alight, to the side of the text we are reading, upon the headline above (which has attracted more readers than the decision on the European budget).

Our questions are these:

Is the headline above the most unimportant news item in the history of humanity?

Is it not, at the very least, a candidate for the least interesting development ever recorded in Guinness Book of Records?
