From a friend, who got them from a friend, who got them from someone else, heres a collection of newspaper headlines that dont quite accomplish what the writer set out to accomplish. Anyone who has ever written or published anything can surely sympathize and laugh. (P.S.: Are any of them real?)

These are hilarious! Best laugh I’ve had all day, thanks.
The only part of the Leno show that I watch is when he shows these kinds of things.

My favorite headline where nobody actually read the story after reading: “Accountant Submits Report”
Say what?: “Therapist arrested for rape”
“Poison Control Center Reminds Everyone Not To Take Poison”
“Experts Say Death By Firing Squad Isn’t That Bad”
“Chick Accuses Some Of Her Male Colleagues Of Sexism”
