Funniest Headline of the Year

I hope this doesn’t appear in the print edition like this:

Scary Headline

In case you can’t see the image: the headline says “Most voters say governor should live.” The subhead says, “63 percent say it’s ‘very important’ or ‘somewhat important.'”

Well, it’s gratifying to know that most voters say the governor should live, but I’m a bit concerned about the 37% who don’t think it’s even “somewhat important.”

I can’t tell you how confused and appalled I was before realizing that this story was about the governor living in Springfield; not about the governor living in general. Once I figured it out, I couldn’t stop laughing. The headline isn’t as funny by itself, but coupled with the subhead, it cracks me up every time!

  1. C.J. Summers- On a side issue, isn’t it strange how Phil Luciano has not done a follow up regarding Alexis Khazzam’s basketball court, now that he has one in place? Why do you think that is? Do you think it’s because Alexis does NOT want the basketball court publicized, thus keeping people out he doesn’t want there? How could that be when it was advertised as a “neighborhood” park? Could it be because it was NEVER meant to be a public park of any type even before the initial zoning ruling? Alexis Khazzam played Phil Luciano like a dime plastic violin… and Phil loved it.
