No mystery there...if he shows up in the balcony more than once a sniper will take him out. He even rotates where he sleeps at random every night.

From way back in the early '80's: Protestors would stand in front of the "White Trains" that were supected of moving nuclear weapons. One of the protestors was determined to be a martyr to the cause, and the headline the next day was,

"Protestor Who Lost Legs Vows to Continue Arms Fight"

True.

I have a friend who collects such humorous headlines. My favoriite in recent memory was a story about a person who was killed when a tree fell on him. The expert interviewed about it was a local forest ranger named....wait for it...

Tim Burr.

Brit tabloid The Sun has had a few good ones over the years, my favourite two would be:

"Up Yours Delors"
(Above an article to do with the paper's anti EU stance: refers to the then head of the European Commission Jacques Delors)

and

"Super Caley Go Ballistic, Celtic Are Atrocious"
(After minor Scottish football (o.k, soccer :) ) team Inverness Caledonian beat the (relatively) famous Glasgow Celtic in a cup match.

Humorous Little Headline...
 

...tawdry little subject.

Rape Nuts

Yup, that's actually the title of the article (via Fark via Slate)

Canada’s Chretien might light up joint (The story is actually better than the headline)

Unfortunate Headline
 

Even more unfortunate tale.

The story is funnier than the title: Hackers heckle drive-in diners

Well, Duh...
 

Re: Well, Duh...
 

Hmmm...well, that one was still there when I clicked on it, but the headline was :"Body Found at Body Shop".

"Van Helsing" Slays Olsen Twins

Poor girls. I wonder when the funeral is? :angel:

(Anybody who wants to complain that E! Online doesn't represent "major news media," go right ahead!!

Can't link it so here it is.:rolleyes:

Wow. This is a first. The Net Nanny wouldn't let me view the TV station page with the half a brain article. It said it exceeded the number of offensive or questionable words.

That is about the bizarrest netnanny false positive I've ever heard of.

Must have been the use of "Rasmussen's encephalitis" and "pulsations" in close proximity.

Either that or multiple ads and story links for a breast cancer walk.

Thanks to Glatt for re vitalising this thread - nice little home for the odd bits in the Sunday Times each week - such as:

Irony of the week:
-------
A Wendy's burger bar assistant has been accused of taking money from the restaurant in Manchester, New Hampshire. His name: Ronald MacDonald.

and

Not-so-cunning disguise of the week:
----
A robber trying to hide his features wrapped himself up so tightly that he couldn't speak properly. The attacker walked into a newspaper's shop in Cologne Germany and mumbled that he wanted cash. The assistant, Michaela Sobor, coudn't make out what he was saying and asked him to repeat it more clearly. Frustrated, the robber went behind the counter and seized £1,000. 'I didn't realise it was a robbery,' said Michaela, 'I thought he had wrapped himself up warm because of the cold weather'.

and lastly:

Overtime of the week:
-----
Calls to photocopier engineers rise by around 25% during the Christmas season, according to a survey by Canon. The extra work is the result of peoplw copying their bottoms - or worse - at the office party, orr standing on the glass to hang decorations. (BTW, they didn't say what sort of decorations were being hung...)
