STUPID HEADLINES 040713


STUPID HEADLINES 040713

It is time once again for:

STUPID HEADLINE SUNDAY

This week’s stupid headlines and my stupider sophomoric and sometimes offensive comments

Do inmates have any balls?...Oh yeah, right. 

 

Minor league ballpark to add urinal gaming – Ewww!  If you win you lose.  Look out; he’s going to cash out!! Or is it called piss off?

Catholic universities offer support to Boston College on condom giveaway stance – Feet apart about shoulder length, bend the knees slightly, head straight, chest out…now reach with condom in right hand and give it away….that is the perfect condom giveaway stance.

True Color of Dinosaur Feathers Debated – Seriously, is this what our greatest minds are working on?  Who gives a poop?

Researchers find treatment that kills every kind of cancer tumorWhy did I just happen to find this headline, but when a report comes out that coffee MAY cause ulcers if you drink over 85 cups a day, it is in every paper and all over the 5 o’clock news?

Oregon couple reportedly claims neighbor's medical marijuana smell makes them sick – Couple also complains of gaining 15 pounds from sudden urge to eat junk food.

Your job might be killing you – Research shows job stress a greater predictor of heart attacks than smoking.  If you don’t mind, please stop working around me, I don’t want your secondhand stress!

Obama unveils details on brain-mapping initiative – Could Government spending be any more ridiculous?  Let me help cut costs here; ITS BETWEEN THE LEFT AND RIGHT EAR!

Small Georgia town passes law requiring residents to own guns – I am in favor of increased regulations regarding gun ownership, but I must admit this might be the last town I would consider for a bank robbery or home invasion.  I might also keep any negative opinions of the Braves or Falcons to myself.

India students invent electrified lingerie in hopes to prevent rape attacks – Pantyhose was always defense enough for me.

Two North Korean Submarines "Disappeared" – They might try looking underwater.

Kuwait Parliament Approves Death Penalty for Insulting God - “Islam is a religion of tolerance, peace and acceptance, but that doesn’t mean it should be stepped on,” lawmaker Ali al-Deqbasi told the house before the vote. (Actual quote…you can’t make this stuff up.)

Target apologizes for 'manatee' label on plus-size dress – Those manatees are so friggin sensitive.


 

Finally these headlines came in an email from Frat Bro Marvelous Marty K.  I assume they are real but cannot verify, comments are not mine:

Proofreading is a Dying Art these days!



Proofreading is a dying art, wouldn't you say?

This one I caught in the SGV Tribune the other day and called the Editorial Room and asked who wrote this. It took two or three readings before the editor realized that what he was reading was impossible!!! They put in a correction the next day.

  1. You (and Marty) really hit a home run this week!

    Yeah, who cares what color dinosaur feathers are when there are REALLY important things to worry about, like the mating habits of Bolivian frogs under a full moon in April. We can't let all that government research money go begging!
