It is time once again for

Ooh, that has got to smart

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.

______________________________

Young blood reverses aging in mice – Because the world needs more young mice. 

Unilever first quarter disappoints despite Hellmanns’ upward sales spike – Hellmanns always does well for Cinco de Mayo.

Schumer calls on FDA to make sure 'scary' powdered alcohol never hits store shelves – The FDA approved the product and then claiming it was a mistake quickly withdrew approval.  After the fact, Chuckie Schumer made sure to call and confirm the withdrawal and managed to make it look like he saved the day.  Thank you Chuckie, way to go!  I think I’ll call the Supreme Court and make sure that slavery thing won’t be making a comeback.

Coke to drop flame retardant from drinks – First they drop cocaine and now flame retardant, can they really call it classic coke?

Last week’s fake headline was:

Texas farmer finds egg of whistler duck, long thought to be extinct – Now looking for whistler duck egg’s mother, a stern old bird in a black dress with a white hat.

There were lots of winners.  This fake was too easy, especially for followers of

TexWisGirl @ http://run-a-roundranch.blogspot.com/  who regularly post fun pictorials of her Texas Whistler Ducks.

TexWisGirl recused herself as did Hilary @ http://thesmittenimage.blogspot.com/  who is a TWG follower.  Check out Hilary, great photos and other good stuff; reward her honesty.

Now the disappointment.  Stephen @ http://thechubbychatterbox.blogspot.com/ is also a TWG follower and yet he failed to recuse himself, so even though he has educational art posts and wonderful stories, do not visit Stephen, he needs to be punished…nah go visit anyway you won’t be sorry.

Now for the winners:

Lowandslow @ http://lowandslow01.blogspot.com/  

Whistling ducks? You been watching Daffy Duck cartoons again? Umm....no

This week was so easy even Scott who was 0 for 73 got it right.

Sandee  @ http://comedyplus.blogspot.com/ 

I too am going to have to go with the Texas farmer and the egg. Texans stop for nothing. Lead, follow or get out of the way.

TexWisGirl  @ http://run-a-roundranch.blogspot.com/ 

oh, COME ON!!!

Catalyst/Taylor @ http://oddballobservations.blogspot.com/  

O.K. I'm going with the whistler duck egg, too. I don't think those birds are extinct.

stevebethere @ http://bethere2day.com/ 

Whistling ducks for me too it must drive people Quackers.

BLissed-Out Grandma @ http://blissedoutgrandma.blogspot.com/  

Gotta go with the whistler duck eggs. No idea why!

Hilary @ http://thesmittenimage.blogspot.com/  

I'm going to exclude myself… though I don't think you were referring to me. I think I do know what headline and to whom it was aimed and I'll join her in her indignation. ;)

Visit all our winners (even Stephen)

And come back next week for more

STUPID HEADLINE SUNDAY!!
