Onion headlines you would like to see
Being a huge fan of The Onion, a satirical NY newspaper of flawless quality, I have often fantasized of writing for them. Since that dream has yet to materialize, I still love to come up with potential headlines for cover stories or "news in brief", such as:
- Area Voodoo Priest Out of Mojo, Juju - Warden Relaxes After Penal Dilemma - Area Bird Tired of Being Flipped - Seedless Watermelon Sucks Fun Out of Urban Legend - 2 + 2 = 4.5 on Car Dealer's Calculator - Area Blind Man Feels Way Out of Orgy - Area Man Solves Toilet Seat Argument by Telling Spouse to "Shut the Fuck Up" - Farting in Mascot Suit Explained As Bad Breath - Saturn To Launch New Model, Homosexual Population Flocks to Dealership - Horny Tooth-Fairy Wants Cavity Filled ... and so on... If any of you enjoy The Onion as much as I do (as well you should), then by all means contribute some headlines, horoscopes (à la Lloyd Schumner Sr.), point-counterpoints, infographics, whatever! The Onion only comes out once per week, please remedy this! Fill the void! |
I love the Onion. I check it out every week. The only headlines I can think of pale in comparison to the real ones (your's are pretty funny, though).
Do you have any of the compilation books they have? They are great. Here are some of my favorite actual headlines: "Aliens Mourn As Final 'Cheers' Episode Reaches Alpha Centauri" "Marilyn Manson Now Going Door-To-Door Trying To Shock People" "Near-Death Experience Followed By Right-On-The-Money Death Experience" "I'm Like A Chocoholic, But For Booze" "Report: TV Helps Build Valuable Looking Skills" "Hanes, Fruit Of The Loom Locked In Bitter Struggle No One Else Aware Of" "Sales Disappointing For First-Ever 'Hustler' Swimsuit Issue" "You Can Tell Area Bank Used To Be A Pizza Hut" "My Teddy Bear Collection Is Fucking Great" "Car Crash Turns Frown Upside-Down" "Taco Bell's Five Ingredients Combined In Totally New Way" I'll try to think of some of my own. |
"Bobo the Clown Sues State of Florida for Right to Wear Makeup in Driver's License Photo"

I have an Onion T-shirt that reads: "Your favorite band sucks"
Always a good conversation starter. My all-time favorite Onion headline is: "Explosion at Pudding Factory Brings Slow, Creamy Death to Town Below." The Onion is the good. |

I also love the Onion. |
