STUPID HEADLINES 111013
It is time once again for:
STUPID HEADLINE SUNDAY
Sounds like a bargain
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.

Librarian says she was fired after complaining of colleagues having sex in
children’s section – I have to agree with the
librarian, her colleagues should be having sex in the adult’s section.
Man passes out in bathroom, wakes up in hospital with $150,000 bill – He has no idea where he got it, but is trying to find a bank that will
make change for a $150K bill.
Irradiated corn plants produce self-popping corn – They could make quite a mess if not harvested in time.
Tom Cruise: My work as an actor is as hard as fighting in Afghanistan - I guess, except for the bullets and of course acting pays $87,000 more per hour than a soldier

Vatican survey addresses gay marriage, birth control – I realize these are relatively new concepts for the Vatican, but
seriously…gay couples really don’t have to worry about birth control.
Berlusconi says his woes are like what Jews had under Hitler – Well yeah, except for without the work camp, starvation, torture, and gas
chamber thing.
Religious beliefs keep high school runner from wearing bib number '666' – There is a reason elevators always skip from floor 665 to 667. (Seriously
this was so dumb; just give the girl a different number…stupid power hungry
inflexible bureaucrats.)
Scientists Discover New Body Part – Now they
need to discover a disease of the new body part.
Doctors find giant ball of fungus in man's lungs – At least they found a new body part looking for it.
(Ball of Fungus…wasn’t that the name of Suldog’s
rock band?)
Justin Bieber reportedly goes to a Brazilian brothel and leaves in a bed
sheet – Damn, those ladies took him for everything!
Let there be light! Thanks to large mirrors, winter sun finally shines on
Norwegian town – Break that mirror and its 943 years of bad luck.
Home Depot says sorry for 'offensive' tweet – I’m all
the time apologizing for offensive tweets…and I’m not even on Twitter.

i'm going for microwaved popcorn this week.
ReplyDeleteand tom cruise is a f**kin' idiot! no, i'm not trying for the new fishducky prize. just my opinion...
You have a lot of religion going on this week.
ReplyDeleteI never bet because I never win.
But, did Tom Cruise really say that?
Wait--who is Tom Cruise.
I would like to say Tom Cruise's comment because that would be just about the stupidest thing he's said to date... which probably makes it true. SIGH
ReplyDeleteI know I said I wasn't going to guess any more, but if I did, it would be........!!
ReplyDeleteI don't know what this newly discovered body part is but I'm willing to bet mine is either too big, too small, or in need of viagra-like chemicals to make it function properly.
ReplyDeleteGive me the fake self-popping corn. I'll be standing at the edge of the field with self-churning cows, selling butter to the on-lookers.
ReplyDeleteMy bet is on the irradiated self-popping corn. This (if true) could create quite a ruckus if it happened at night!
ReplyDeletei think it has to be the self-popping corn. sadly i know the tom cruise headline to be true. what a damned fool. ship that moron off to afghanistan and lets see how he fares.
ReplyDeleteI'm going with Man passes out in bathroom, wakes up in hospital with $150,000 bill. I was going to go with the self popping corn but everyone else was going with it.
