Brainbread posted:I think this thread was a Jay Leno segment on the Tonight Show? I remember watching it when I was a kid. Ah, yes, that segment once featured my mom's local paper. There's a town in West Virginia called Big Ugly, which naturally prompted the headline "BIG UGLY WOMAN DIES IN CRASH." When I saw it, having forgotten about the town of Big Ugly, I laughed for at least ten minutes. I mean, that sounds awful though. Rest in peace, Big Ugly woman.

This one is sort of related. I was going to take a picture but figured I wouldn't have anywhere to post it, then along comes this thread. It's not news related but sort of TV related I guess. It's just Time Warner being dumb. On Halloween I wanted to watch a scary movie and was flipping through the guide. I saw that "The Number 23" was on and just wanted to check the description. "Blah blah blah schizo becomes obsessed with the number 23 and thinks some book was written about him blah blah blah. The main character dies at the end." Well then... uh thanks guys, guess I don't need to watch it.

 While Johnny Welfare plays acid rock on a stolen guitar, his old lady has a better idea... That's right, she's got the munchies for a California Cheeseburger!

Family of human being fans fly the flag TL;DR: Their last name is Doody and they are the human being Family. EDIT: An English person showed me this and they thought it was funny, so don't get all YOU AMERICANS about it, tia.

Gordon Ramsay's dwarf porn double Percy Foster dies in badger den http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/go...b0b7a02ae390b1d Holy gently caress. It's even better if you don't read the article and just try to work it out in your head.

Cheeky TV show descriptions are awesome, I wish I could subscribe to a service which would do it for every show.

This was actually picked up by Media Watch in Australia. Ad content keywords disasters never fail to amuse. In the case of Australian driver Peter Brock's death announcement, his association with V8 motorcar races lead to this.

I like this one. The whole story is great, but the headline rules.quote:Wandering Port Coquitlam bear not drunk, just ‘fat and lazy’ http://globalnews.ca/news/1583781/wandering-port-coquitlam-bear-not-drunk-just-fat-and-lazy/ Also this, which may or may not be the same bear. http://globalnews.ca/news/1583180/postie-could-not-bear-package-delivery/ Also I love that that site has a bear tag.

The best part about this scheme is he thought an Applebee's could make change for a trillion dollar bill, had they actually believed it.

Not only was this a real headline at one point, but it's the one they decided to use for this promo so these signs were at every McDonald's in town for several months.

Are not-english tabloids acceptable? "Can't sleep, because I'm holding the cupboard"  "Kettle of terror wanted to kill us!"  "An old egg did this to me!"
