THANK YOU for that link--I'm having a bad day. And I can't explain given that--that this made me laugh...

But it is just too darn funny!

I love how adulthood helps reduce teen pregnancy chances.

This is a true story. They were having problems with a man who was groping women at a local outdoor music theater. The local newspaper headline read: "Woman assaulted at Music Center for third time." My DH, glancing up from the paper says, "Why doesn't she just stay home?'

So I'm watching that thinking--oh they put a sillhouette of a bear in the forest, that's silly.

Then they use the stupid bear to demonstrate the bear.

Honestly--they do not teach this in journalism school.

Oh dear.

The "demonstration" of the way the bear was running reminds me of "South park"

All these are hilarious, but this one just slays me. I would have presumed it would disappear altogether after age 19 - lol!

Our journalism teacher was showing us some awful headlines like this at school.

Too funny!

My job is to copyedit and proofread, and I LOVE these!

The most common one I catch is our editor will use "pubic" instead of "public". That one's hysterical in some contexts...

 

[CaliforniaDreamin]

Oh, that poor worried mother!

OMG the news story with the bear!
