Nobody out here is proofreading their work, and we're grateful for it. Here's some serious attempts that went off the rails into Crap Town.

Even after reading the absolutely insane headlines, these people didn't do a quick google search to find out if the Onion was a real newspaper. Imagine how confused you'd be if you just walked around thinking all of this was true?
When news of a couple Harvard scientists thinking there's some extraterrestrial scrap and/or "light sail" cruising by Earth, you pause your Mass Effect 2 and listen up. The internet's abuzz with all kinds of competing theories on the mad scientists from Harvard's theory; but it boils down to the undeniable likelihood that it's an odd cigar-shaped asteroid, which could by a sliver of a chance be alien junk. That sliver of a chance is enough to get the juices of the collective extraterrestrial-oriented science community, flowing. I'd still love (I think?) to end up reading about how this space cigar is some sort of alien light sail (cargo hold ship), but the odds are not in our favor at the moment. So, keep the tin foil hat stashed for now, and continue planning your next retreat to Area 51 to gather more evidence. Maybe they've already accumulated a collection of the Milky Way's finest space cigars.
Thought you could get away with the same old classic costume this year? Thought you could pop some fake teeth in, throw on a cape, and call yourself George Washington? Not so fast. These people went the extra mile for the sake of creativity.

Last week, the internet was pranked with this photo of a supposed Justin Bieber eating a burrito the wrong way. The real question is, was it a convincing fake or did we just want to belieb it? We're gonna have to go with both. Anyway, props to Yes Theory for the artful crafting of a viral prank.
You may be having a bad day. But at least you didn't run a cargo ship into another cargo ship. Most Likely.
What we're trying to say is, maybe your mediocre day has actually been a pretty good day in disguise. Here's some people who have without a doubt gone through a rough patch.
Turns out having someone else pay for a sizable chunk of your sh*t is quite the viable strategy. Check out the original article that got Twitter's blood boiling over here!
They're living in a world overran by a flood of equally incomprehensible abbreviations and bizarre jargon...and USA Today is here to play the part of a hero that the elders never asked for. They want to bridge the gap! What a time to be alive. Also, apparently Winston Churchill was v ahead of his time. Dude was just too lit to quit. Check out the original piece over here.
