Post weird news headlines, quotes and articles from TV, newspapers, internet, etc.
Edit: Videos, gifs, news parodies are also good.

Fox news is a good source.

"I had a few lads up from Queensland and I had to put on a good show," he told the NT News from his hospital bed.

"I just had a few beers with the boys and let off a few firecrackers.

"And I put one in my arse."

Mr Bowden was wearing trousers at the time and took it standing up.

"It didn't burn my balls or my back," the fitter and turner said. "Just my fingers and my arse. "It was a pretty loose one, hey."

(This one is especially funny because I don't think Rush Limbaugh has ever found it hard to swallow a weiner. Because he's fat.)




I found at least fifteen more headlines, but I didn't want to beat it into the ground. (Penis.)

R. D. Smith has one Sewing Machine for sale. Phone 66958 and ask for Mrs Kelly who lives with him cheap.

R. D. Smith informs us he has received several annoying telephone calls because of an incorrect ad. in yesterday's paper. It should have read: R. D. Smith has one sewing machine for sale. Cheap. Phone 66958 and ask for Mrs Kelly who loves with him.

R. D. Smith. We regret an error in R. D. Smith's classified advertisement yesterday. It should have ready: R. D. Smith has one sewing machine for sale. Cheap. Phone 66958 and ask for Mrs Kelly who lives with him after 7 p.m.

I worked for my college newspaper (and still get a free subscription because I was editor-in-chief), and the Security Briefs are always a highlight, although never that detailed. This year they've had three cases of somebody watching porn in the student center--on weeknights, when people are usually there studying or doing work. The first one was specified as "anime porn (hentai)."

There's a long history of student harassment from townies driving on the main drag through campus, usually calling people human being or throwing stuff at students.. My favorite of all-time was "Suspect threw lollipop at victim from passing car; reported 11 hours later."

They would detonate when someone hit the switch.

I have a book of these somewhere, National Lampoon's True Facts. My favorite is a photo of a woman posing with a floofy Alaskan Malamute paired with a mismatched headline, "Local Man Engaged." The first time I saw it I laughed until tears streamed down my face, and I still get a hearty laugh out of it. I can't find the photo on Google, though :( If anyone has it handy it would be much appreciated.

That happened about five minutes from me. It was hilarious to read in the paper. Trying to write a serious news article about a Teletubby with a man-purse and the munchies is near impossible.
