STUPID HEADLINES 102013
It is time once again for:
STUPID HEADLINE SUNDAY
This week’s stupid headlines and my stupider sophomoric and sometimes offensive comments.
One headline is completely made up. Guess the fake and win a mention.

Man charged with trying to carjack Cal Ripken’s mom – That ends a Ripken streak of 3742 straight days without an attempted carjacking.
GM's Mary Barra to staff: 'No more crappy cars.' – Now there’s a catchy new ad phrase…I can visualize it with background music “Lemon Tree.”
Syria: Reported fatwa allows the hungry to eat cats and dogs – They have to be pretty hungry!
Peruvian Town Banned From Hosting Festival That Killed And Cooked Cats – Guess where the festival will be held next year.
Corona executive admits: “We invented Cinco de Mayo.” – Well the Mexican holiday did exist, but it was kinda like our Arbor Day.
Motorcyclist arrested for going 140 mph tells cops he needed bathroom break – 140 mph on a motorcycle would pretty much take care of the “bathroom break” need for most people.
Eagle held as 'spy' by Lebanon terror group – Eagle quarterback Mike Vick claims the terror group is just "Dogging him."

I'm going with Viagra too, loved 'em all! Completely agree on the neuroscientist, I mean was this guy's life dream really to study the emotions of dogs? I think all such studies should have to go thru a "common sense" review before being approved.
For mini-stories based on two words or just six sentences Josie is the place to visit
My guess is also the Viagra one. The sad thing is that I know for sure that most of the others are true bc I saw it on huffpo or weekend update on snl.

One more try - I know the IRS seized the whorehouse in NV but contrary to popular belief, I don't think they ever ran it - so I'm going with your "What happens when the Government runs a whorehouse."
ReplyDeletewoo hoo! i won and fishducky didn't!!! :) that's gotta be a first! :)
ReplyDeleteflipping the bird... bwahahaha!
i'm gonna pick viagra this week since it worked last week... okay, kidding. i'll go with gun permits for the blind.
My choice is:
ReplyDelete"Corona executive admits: 'We invented Cinco de Mayo.' – Well the Mexican holiday did exist, but it was kinda like our Arbor Day."
Because... well, we were celebrating it long before I ever heard of Corona.
Pour me a Corona, please, Joe!!
ReplyDeleteGun permits for the "blind?" Please say it ain't so.
ReplyDeleteI am going with GM's Mary Barra to staff: 'No more crappy cars.' I love my Buick but I will not buy one after 2009. First step for no more crappy cars is get the Government out and get the General back in.
ReplyDeleteThe gun permits for the blind just HAS to be the fake headline....I mean, what's next? Driver's permits for the blind? Both can be used as a deadly weapon for people who have NO VISION - duh!
ReplyDeleteI have to put my money on the crappy GM cars. I can't imagine they'd ever stop making them.
ReplyDeleteI can see a debate for the blind gun permits. Let's hope it doesn't become a case of the blind shooting the blind.
I wonder how you come up with this stuff and then I realize you don't need to. You CAN'T make this stuff up, and when you do, even your weird fake one is difficult to spot. Way to find the cream of the crop and then add even better punch lines---again.
ReplyDeleteI'll take a shot in the dark (ooh...) with gun permits for the blind.
ReplyDeleteFISTPUMP! Finally got one! Thanks for the mention.
ReplyDeleteNo need to mention me next week. No idea. I'll lock in the parrot with no confidence whatsoever.
"GM's Mary Barra to staff: 'No more crappy cars.'"
ReplyDeleteSo they're gonna fire all the beancounters? 'Bout time!
These are so fun!
ReplyDeleteSince I am always wrong, I'll stick to laughing while reading the post and at the comments the others have left.
