The Blunderful World of News #1

Those familiar with my Hubs know I love the humorous, the odd and the ironic often found in the newspapers. If you enjoy these kind of things, too, you may get a kick from the following clippings - a collection of items that somehow made it to print. Some are pertinent news stories, others are ads or classifieds.

This first classified must come from someone that knows how to go that extra mile in the name of romance.

This poor guy -hope he didn't have to get off the sofa to place this classified.

If you've ever wondered about the legitimacy of being told you'd have to speak to a company rep in Mexico, India, Timbuktu or the Antarctic...

If I worked at this paper and saw these classifieds before they went out, I probably would have called these two before they got the placement bill. But thoughtfulness just isn't as funny, is it?

News Headlines and Reports

What embarrassing press for Hogwarts!

Because no news story is truly professional without a tongue-twister headline.

Yeah, my blood runs cold just seeing this headline.

Ok, I haven't watched any of the Olympics this year, but if I'd known this event was scheduled you better believe I would have been glued to the TV! Go USA!

Thank the gods for educated experts! And here I thought appetite loss just led to bare pantry space!

Unfortunately, she still can't catch a frisbee in her mouth.

This headline should silence all those claims that the Republican party is nothing more than a social club for male chauvinists!

Hopefully these astute archeologists can soon answer the mystery of who is buried in Grant's tomb!

Coincidence or confirmation of what a lot of us already suspected? I'll let you decide.
