Funniest headline fails - by Monica

I graduated college two months ago with a degree in journalism, and from all those journalism classes I took, I learned how important a headline is in a news story. Headlines grab a reader's attention, make them want to read the rest of the article. How many times have you based if you wanted to read something off of what it was titled? Another rule we learned about headlines -- be careful of double entendres. I guess these reporters didn't take the same classes I did -- but it sure made from some funny headlines! I do have to admit, some of these headlines are creative though and would make someone read the story (like the one about "Skywalkers"). So, this blog post is for anyone who is in need of a laugh today.

I found these headlines on thehuffingtonpost.com, funnypicblast.com and innocentenglish.com
