    Ludacris is a singsong man. :)

    My most ludicrous headline was in the Northside People.

    "Community Slams St. Vincent de Paul" - I can't even remember the story but that's a great headline.

    That is simultaneously the best and worst headline I've heard.

    Anyone remember when The Sunday Sport did actual news stories like this one and wasn't just about tits?:D


  • Registered Users Posts: 23,216 ✭✭✭✭monkeyfudge


    There was a ridiculous story about 6th in the Daily Star last week.

    At least the the tabloid journalists know the difference between 'story' and 'storey'.

    Seriously - learn to use a spell-checker.

    Also - I'm no scienctician but I'm pretty sure that's not how you spell 'ludacris'.

    On a serious note, The Sun's circulation in Liverpool took a serious bashing, which still continues today, after this example of how-not-to-do-journalism on the Monday after the Hillsborough tragedy.

    I'm pretty sure 'scientician' or 'sciencetician' is not spelled that way either.
    I'm also pretty sure that neither 'scientician' nor 'sciencetician' are actual words, so whichever you were aiming for......

    There was a story in the Mirror about a month or so ago that said Barack Obama and Brad Pitt were 9th cousins through a relative from the 1700's and that Hillary Clinton and Angelina Jolie were 8th cousins through a relative from the 1700's aswell... I got a good laugh out of it!:D

    Scientician –noun [sahy-uhn-tish-unlol]

    "a scientist with questionable credentials who publicly supports spurious hypotheses."

    Not as bad as Bryan McFvckwit getting celebrity father of the year... and then dumping his family be text message...

    There was one on the cover of the Suday World a few years about a paedofile "who cannot be named" luring kids into his den in "the South East of the country", complete with blown up grainty photo of a bloke in a crowd with a deliberalty blurred face who could have been anyone.

    And we wonder whay paretns are scared of letting their kids out?

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    Thats one hell of an exclusive


    The Best/Worst I saw was in the galway advertiser last decemeber (I dont read the Star so Perhaps im missing out). Anyway, the front page had the caption "Sick paedophile found" (something on those lines) and a picture of santa beside it
