Headlines


I’ve always loved headlines. Especially the ones that don’t necessarily convey the intended idea. So I went trolling through some of the internet news sites to see if I couldn’t stock up on ambiguousness…er, ambigution?  Ambiguitude?

Anyhow, I did manage to find a few headlines that I felt might be open to question:

·         “Man walks out, home explodes” makes one wonder what he had for lunch, does it not?

·         And then there’s “Ice-fishing house explodes.” - Please say it was the propane tank…

·         “Manatee released after two years” -  Did it not get a phone call and a court appointed lawyer?

·         “McDonalds angles for more variety with Fish McBites”  - What’s next – Fries McStubbies? Tiny cheeseburgers? (Never mind, they already have those.)

·         “Outrageous photos of Kim Kardashian see-through skirt” – First, let me just say E-e-e-ew! And aren’t any photos of this talentless famous-for-being-famous troll outrageous?

·         How about “Car Salesmen Confessions?”  -  How do you respond - well, duh?

·         “When does your wife get social security?” – Do I really want to know?

·         And the one we could absolutely have done without – “Honey Boo-Boo’s parents reveal ‘random hookup’ romance.”  - Please, for Gawd’s sake, don’t think about this one. Just walk away…
