No, I didn't actually interview the be a part of the pillar of journalism that is The Onion. However, while listening to the episode of This American Life, Tough Room, in which the world inside the editorial room of The Onion is exposed, I was inspired. For the past few days, I have been dreaming up Onion-ish headlines. Here's a few - mind you, these are draft headlines and could probably use some massaging:
- Area Man Seen Dressing to the Left
- Local Watch Repairman Dies at Exactly 11:57 PM
- Area Woman has Proof Elvis Potato is a Fraud
- Police Crackdown on Violence at Camp for Blind
- Local Priest Pushes Abstinence at Nursing Homes
- Area Farmer Cries "The Shit Just Grows by Itself!"
- Area Botanist Found Naked with Venus Fly Trap
- Rare Disease Upgraded to Uncommon
- Latest iPod Killer Actually Kills iPods
- McCain: "Global Warming is no Worse than KKK"
- 4-H Hazing Really Getting out of Hand
