An unfortunate use of graphics here from BBC News South East:
It was, of course, a report about a "jobs blow" for the region - no laughing matter on a normal day. But somebody decided to have the words enter the screen from opposing sides (below) which made all the difference (spotter's badge @WillardFoxton):

I was at the home of my elderly parents, consoling them over an unfortunate death in the family when I saw this on TV. When I saw this I burst out laughing, which was possibly inappropriate given the circumstances.

They must have known. Bravo, BBC graphics editors! You won't be laughing when you're forced to relocate to Manchester, or find a new job.
