Can you be a headline writer?

Asked by TheProfoundPorcupine (2549points) November 23rd, 2012

I don’t know about other countries in the world, but the newspapers here in the UK love to insert a pun as a headline for a story. Some are clever, some are terrible and quite often you can guess the kind of headline that should go with it.

So your task is as follows. What are the best puns or headlines that you have ever seen on the news or what are the best ones you can make yourself?

A real headline: A football team in Scotland called Inverness Caledonian Thistle (nickname Cally) beat Celtic years ago in a real shock result. The headline: SuperCallyGoBallisticCelticAreAtrocious (think Mary Poppins)
