Real Newspaper Headline Fails


15 I Bet He's Not Working Pro Bono

How much would it suck to be the public defender assigned to this guy's case? Some people just can't accept help.

14 When You Know You Live in a Small Town

Some towns just don't have enough going on. If this ever is a headline in your local paper, move closer to civilization.

13 That's Unfortunate

The cruel irony of it all was less comical when the two discovered years later that they were actually, well, cousins.

12 And They Arrested Him?

We know they mean the drug crack, but this title is definitely misleading. If this is true the jails are going to fill up pretty quickly.

11 That's a Nicer Way of Saying It

We have never really thought of cows as employees, and that is probably because employees get fired when funds are low, not slaughtered. Slight difference there.

10 Get It?

There is nothing better than a good sexual pun in the paper. The fact that this was a Canadian newspaper makes us sure that they were in no way trying to be funny.

9 That's a Tough Call

Either she is making her husband look more glamorous than he really is in the description or this woman really loves her cat. If this guy sucks as much as cats we don't blame her for this ad.

8 It's Better than an Ipod Shuffle

Headlines like this should be the leading exhibit in the case for increased gun control. Also, that kid's form is garbage someone give him some shooting lessons. via http://www.mandatory.com/


7 Who Needs Coaches?

If you ever played an obscure high school sport you totally understand this quote. Nothing screws up a scholarship opportunity like a lazy coach who was too busy downing peanuts to keep stats. We feel you, Hailey.

6 Give Them a Break

I know you want to make fun of this, but they got all of the other words in the title right. That's a hard state to spell, darn it. Baby steps....

5 That'll Show 'Em

Nothing says "I need my damn independence" like cutting off your own manhood. Not sure the future wife will be so impressed though.

4 We Don't Need No Stinkin Doctors

It turns out the cost cutting technique of hiring local garbage men to fill in for overpaid physicians didn't make long term sense. Hey, at least we tried.

3 We Eat Because We Care

This is one of those cruel charity events right? Does anyone have it worse than the hungry? What I wouldn't give for a cupcake right now.

2 Did You Know?

This study was hailed as the most important advancement in modern science since the cure for polio. Who would've thunk it?

1 Rapefruit

Was that grapefruit supposed to look like a G? Honestly, that is the most rapey looking fruit we have ever seen.

  2. #5?! Unreal. All but one of these is somewhere on the ugh spectrum - but the ignorance of the reviewer's caption definitely makes it a fail.

  6. I worked in newspapers when I was younger and we had a whole wall full of crazy headlines and typos (from our paper and others). It was there for comic relief and a not so subtle reminder to proofread carefully. Some caused quite a stir at the time they were published.
