headlines

Just a quick reminder that the following thirty-two headlines below, are all for this year -- and it's only August! So we're sure some more goodies will be coming on our way in the very, very, very near future. 

Sit tight folks, we're in for a wild ride! 

Florida, why are you like this?

Maybe it is something in the water or in the air, but for some reason, the police in Florida seem to consistently arrest the strangest people, and it always leads to a surreal headline that starts off with Florida Man and then continues to explain what they did this time around, almost as if it is always the same man from Florida.

And this is just the tip of the iceberg. Get lots more Florida Man headlines and let the sunshine flow through you.

It could be poor reading comprehension, gullibility, or just a failure to check sources, but many people have a problem with understanding satire. Even when it's not subtle, some folks really just miss the point of satire, or don't want to get it. Sometimes it's funny to see someone react with outrage over a fake story about NASA shooting a chimp into the sun. Other times it's just kind of pitiful, like when someone uses a joke as a source in an actual article.
