The news last night had a story about two trick-or-treaters hit by a car. The video feed showed two huge boats that had crashed into a bridge. The newsreader was going through the story and says, barely pausing, "I think we have the wrong video".

I saw this posted in the schadenfreude thread a little while back, but it really deserves to be here too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uzOvc4XuFNc

Years ago I saw a stupid local news story about a guy who bought some grapes at the grocery store and found a dead lizard in the bag with them. He was being interviewed on screen, and at the bottom of the screen it said "Joe Smith - dead lizard owner" Still makes me laugh sometimes. That was probably 15 years ago.

 This just popped up on my news feed. If you can't read it since I'm bad with computer it says: Dead whale surfer: "I'm an idiot" An Australian man who "surfed" a floating whale carcass surrounded by sharks has admitted that he was an "idiot" to attempt the foolhardy feat.

I might occasionally have a placeholder here and there if a writer doesn't have a headline or a cutline for a photo, but drat, I don't know how you miss stuff like "Think of a headline." at the top of a page.

This one is sort of sad but it's a hell of a train wreck: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lr8AExHciBE That's Jessica Savitch, the first woman to anchor a network news broadcast. She sort of had a messed up life and died shortly after this when a car she was in went off a bridge (No alcohol or drugs were involved apparently). This particular incident caused a bit of a stir, she initially blamed a malfunctioning teleprompter and later pain medication but rumors of drug abuse had followed her consistently.

I tried to say that headline out loud to my roommate, got through to 'armed' and then started laughing, I can't say it with a straight face. Also, obligatory No, seriously, how the gently caress.

Not a headline, but a couple of years ago my department arrested a dude missing both arms for armed robbery. He was the getaway driver. I'm completely serious.

Climax is a city in Minnesota. Over here in North Dakota, we still talk about the 100% legit AP headline that read "Fertile Woman Dies in Climax." Some people add "on the way to Moorhead," which would be plausible, but wasn't in the original.

That's the kind of headline that editors look forward to, kind of like "Headless body found at topless bar".

I don't see the Headlines archives on the Tonight Show website, any more. Does anyone know if they are still around? I happen to think the headlines segments were hilarious. I'd try the Wayback Machine, but I don't even have the old URL, and the Wayback Machine is lovely with archiving images.

They both look guilty as hell. Like the graphics guy knew they did it and wanted to expose them for their crime and they're just caught unawares and panicking silently. "Well! Uhhh...b-b-back to you, Jill." "Shut up! Shut UP! Cut to commercial!"

Say Nothing posted:Today's news. I remember seeing this years ago, definitely over a decade ago, and just recently it came up in conversation with someone who said a movie had been made based on this want ad. He couldn't remember the name of the film, and neither of us could remember the full text of the ad and were apparently too drunk to figure out what combination of words to use to google it, so I never did find out what it was called. Turns out its called Safety Not Guaranteed and it looks like it might actually be a pretty good movie. So thank you
