News paper headlines
X Porn star gives blow by blow account
of life in the business.
Any More....?
Here's a real one from a couple of weeks ago...
'Titty, titty bang, bang'
on the topic of Jordan's cosmetic surgery election campaign
*groan*
That headline brings amazing imagery me thinks.
not a sleazy one, but this week's tamworth herald had:
New Wembley Stadium May be Located in Tamworth
2 years ago, the paper thought that the town might be getting the millenium dome. [looking forward to tamworth olympic bid next]
OK, now you've got me started...the most memorable (and appalling) headlines for me ran the day after a farmer's wife died tragically when the flock of sheep she was about to feed flocked towards her and sent herself, the motorised buggy she was on and her sheepdog over the cliff.
One tabloid, front page....
'SILENCED BY THE LAMBS'
second tabloid, second page.....
'LAMBS TO THE SLAUGHTER'
broadsheet, page 5
'Flock of sheep push woman over cliff'
All true, I kid you not!
Now we're talking! My old student hack(les) are rising.
Best headline of last year had to be from The Sun.
The Dome was broken into in a James Bond style heist, in an attempt to steal the diamonds on display. Headline:
'We're only here for De Beres"
And from London Student: A student had a cat in hall. It wandered past a candle and set fire to itself.
Headline: "Cat Goes Woof"
...and in another cat related story from London Student - one of the tabloids accused students at one of the campuses of eating cats because of grant cuts (they'd found some cat skeletons on campus) They later retracted, prompting:
"It's Official. Royal Holloway Students Don't Eat Pussy"
(subhead - Reports of interesting event in Egham unfounded)
...and in my book of 'The World's Worst Headlines' (50p from a dump-bin somewhere!)
Background: during the Spanish Civil war, a platoon of Basque soldiers was caught in a narrow defile by loyalist soldiers and most ended up dead. Headline:
"Too Many Basques in One Exit"
A season or so ago the mighty Celtic FC were beaten at home in a cup match against lowly Inverness Caledonian Thistle (aka Caley Thistle).
The headline in a tabloid was:
Super Caley go ballistic, Celtic are atrocious.
DOG with two tails wags self to death
