STUPID HEADLINES 012614
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 and a Whoop-tee-do.

Last week’s
fake headline was:
Congress to vote on a
cut in pay for themselves and their staff - Vote will take place on April 1.
Everyone that chose to enter the contest guessed
correctly. Eleven for eleven! Of all the stupid, ridiculous, outrageous
fake headlines in the past year the only one that absolutely no one could
believe was in any way shape or form true regardless of any possible context and
absolutely had to be fake was:
Congress to vote on a
cut in pay for themselves and their staff.
I think that speaks volumes!!
Congratulations to the
winners…EVERYONE!
Come back next week for more
STUPID HEADLINE SUNDAY
I would guess "Barbra Bush – I love Bill Clinton". Why? I have no idea.
ReplyDeleteSo Jamie "The Weasel" Dimon got a huge payout, did he? He'll need it to pay his legal team to keep him out of the clink. (Those Sicilian lawyers on loan from The Family don't work cheap, you know.)
ReplyDeleteNOTE: There was no blood spilled in the writing of this comment. ;)
Almost forgot....
ReplyDeleteThat Colorado pre-marriage class could be a guy's dream come true. "Aww come on babe....you know I'd LOVE to marry you. It's just that with my dyslexia there's no way I could ever pass the test. We're still on for this weekend, right?" ;)
i'm gonna go with pwaps, alex...
ReplyDeleteI think the Colorado law would be terrific. Everyone who eats Smarties would figure they couldn't live together.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to go with the PWAP story.
ReplyDeleteA little morbid, but grandma's plea for help?
ReplyDeleteI know it's not the answer, but the details strike me as ridiculous as the others. :)
Some of these I saw in the news, but the one about dating the Monet seems preposterous to me.
ReplyDeleteMy guess is with Mrs. Bush. the one with Smartees sounds unreal too, but knowing kids- - -
ReplyDeletePWAPs ... funny word, makes me laugh. And I vote for that headline.
ReplyDeleteCan I pick all of the above?? Ok, then the grandmother one.
ReplyDeleteI am SO leaning toward the minute-Monet as fake...but I suppose maybe a scientist can determine when a paint was exposed to oxygen or light and began to deteriorate or react with the canvas.
ReplyDeleteI am choosing the chopstick poker dude as fake. Because I can't imagine someone taking chopsticks into the casino. There are cameras everywhere. But maybe that's how he got caught. Only probation? That's STEALING. Surely the casinos frown upon such wanton acts of thievery. It's not like he was just counting cards. What did he do, stick those chopsticks up his sleeves, and let them out like tiny doll-hands on SNL's Kristen Wiig as Dooneese?
I am taking a wild guess with Poker blogger gets probation for stealing dealer tips with chopsticks at Conn. Casino.
ReplyDeleteI would have no idea what to pick as the fake this week. Since in my mind, Stephen knows everything about art and he picked the Monet as the wrong one, I'm picking that one, too.
ReplyDeleteHilarious headlines this week! I'm thinking Cranky should be doing the news. I'd definitely watch the show but I am thinking that maybe the whole PWAPS is the bogus headline.
