Favorite rejected headline: "Gay Retard Teased"

Old Timey ones I don't think have been included yet:
My Computer Totally Hates Me! Point/Counterpoint

I can't find the original, so this is probably a little off but it's in the context of either the W. Bush election or the Republicans doing well in some congressional election.
"They say you get the government you deserve. That's funny, I don't remember knife-raping any retarded nuns..."

It was the 2002 Congressional election. I remember because I lived in Georgia at the time, where we threw out Vietnam veteran and triple amputee Max Cleland for complete douchebag Saxby Chambliss, and that was exactly how I felt.

The "babies are stupid" story was in "The Onion's Finest News Reporting", which was one of their first books, if not their first book altogether. I can understand why they pulled that "bear rapes man" story somebody posted above, but this one was pretty good satire.

I think they got rid of a lot of pre-2000 articles a while ago. I don't know why, but I do know that I haven't been able to find "Area Bassist Fellated" since at least 2007.
