What's in the papers?

Monday, November 3, 2008 11:44:32 AM

humour, jokes, headlines, errors, news, grammar

These are a collection of weirdest news headlines i found, some are actually from the big news publishers in the world. I'm not really an avid reader of newspapers [or the watching tv news] in general and im sure there are some good thing in them. I like reading the classifieds though [particularly the cartoons]. I prefer not being told whats going on in the world... i'll figure it out soon enough [if not too late]. These are just terrible though lol!

Man With One Arm And Leg Cheats On Other Half - News Of The World.

Golfers Warned Not To Lick Balls - BBC Teletext News.

Male Infertility Can Be Passed on to Children - Reuters headline

Blind Woman Gets New Kidney from Dad she Hasn't Seen in Years -colombia

Haha, those are really funny but at the same time shocking. I mean its the job of a sub editor, content editors and editors to check up on everything that gets printed. I mean we would make a fuss if a doctor screwed up in his job. There have been alot of things that have been getting through in our papers.

However, I don't think I should be making too many comments either. Late nights tired eyes, seeing the same thing 100 times- it all adds up. I've let a couple of things slip that I'm not at all proud about. But neway...

The most classic headline (on News24) is Headline Here Please LOL.

LOL, its true about the comic relief factor, newspapers are hardcore. Maybe its a test to see if people even read the papers properly
