Odd Newspaper headlines

All Seeing Eye · 09-10-2018 10:11pm #1

Anyone else see this article on independent.ie it sounds like a Waterford Whispers headline. Basically someone called “Strawballs” was shot in the arse and the Guards are on the case.

Article here

Just got me to thinking what is oddest article title people have seen in a serious newspaper?

Are you some kind of snob what is wrong with the Sunday Sport?
Quality journalism it is and exclusive stories other papers are afraid to cover.:P

The NT News is pure gold. Have kept an eye on it ever since spotting a memorable front page while in Darwin myself a few years ago. Seems at least some types of prostitution are legal there, but some of the local 'working girls' weren't getting the bonanza they expected when an American Navy ship docked, because the sailors were getting it for free from some of the locals instead. So, the paper ran with the front page headline:
'Hookers say Darwin girls too easy'.

I don't know how to embed pics in a post here, but for anybody who does know....do a Google image search just for 'NT News' and post some of the better ones here? You'll have lots to choose from......!
