First:For those among us who are not familiar with The Onion, please familiarize yourself with it before you "play" in this thread:
Here's the Wiki article:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_onionAnd here's their website:
http://www.theonion.com/Second:The purpose of this thread is for all of us to have lots of fun by posting hyperlinked
real-life HEADLINES (and
only headlines; i.e. no quoted excerpts and stuff) of
real-life NEWS articles (
not editorial/opinion/commentary/blog pieces) that are so absurd/ridiculous/uproariously humorous/etc. that they could have just as easily come from The Onion.
Third:The subject matter of the articles/stories need not be related to politics, btw, although I wouldn't be surprised if it turns that most of them are. Kinda natural, what with this being a political debate site and all.
OK. Having taken care of the not-so-fun procedural stuff, let me start things off with ...
"Poll gives Obama edge over Romney on alien invasion"
