Too Vulgar?

The headline on Todays Sun 'Three Man U Stars Roasted Girl No 2' did make me laugh. However, one has to question whether if the term 'Roasted' should appear on the front page of a national newspaper.

I'd be lying if i denied i didn't admire the guts the editors at The Sun showed in choosing such a colourful headline, but is it too much?

I can see why they did it, it's graphic, eye catching, informal, and shocking all things The Sun is reknowned for and has intrigued me enough to write about it. However my thoughts are about the kids who catch a glimpse of the headline and wonder, what is a roasting?

Is the term is too vulgar? Any thoughts?
