Spaff Posted January 4, 2007 If there's one thing I can't stand it's shitty headlines that take the subject matter in question, take a method of transportation or something from it and use it in the headline to describe how it is arriving onto the console or wherever it is destined to be going, assuming that it is in some way hilariously clever. I've used some borIng headlines in the past but for fucks sake, this style get used over and over again by every hapless shit that has a shitty games blog. Same fucking 'joke' on a million sites because it's so obvious and so so shitty. Argh. Examples: Sonic spins onto DS Star Trek beams down to Xbox 360 Katamari rolling it's way to PSP FUCK OFF. I mean look at this google search and this one FFS. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Marek Posted January 5, 2007 Doom to Explode onto Tabletops Everywhere Clearly not the same. Exploding onto a tabletop = a great headline.(I'm sure if you sift through Idle News long enough you'll find one of these though.) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Spaff Posted January 5, 2007 I went through all the idle news headlines and I found one instance of this and 700+ instances of awesomeness. "Worms Squiggles on to DS and PSP" or somehting the offender was: Marek marek gets a brief :tdown:but then also instantly gets :tup::tup::tup: because of all his other headlines.

Aussie Ben Posted January 5, 2007 ARGH If I ever make a successful game, it will be called "Fuck Off", so that journalists can make hilarious straplines like: "Fuck Off Fucks Off" and "It's Out? Fuck Off" You see, it will be brilliant. Maybe. Also Thank Christ. I had a brief panic attack when I thought that I was a total hypocrite. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chris Posted January 23, 2007 Hahaha, I love writing headlines like that. I chuckle almost every time I use one. I probably derive a slightly different type of humor out of it than you assume is being derived. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jake Posted January 23, 2007 I think you're doing it a little more facetiously than many others. That said, when I worked in local newspapers, we used to deliberately write the most retarded headlines possible because it was hilarious, but I doubt most readers caught on, or even noticed. I always imagined that maybe one kid saw them over breakfast and declared them lame, without knowing that he was right. That was my secret hope. There was some new age chiropractic place we had to write a business profile on and we called the article The Road To Wellville, which is a book and movie about a guy deceiving all his customers with a bunch of medical bullshit and near circus antics. And it's still online! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
miffy495 Posted January 23, 2007 Back when I was 13 or so, I'd always scan the newspaper looking for dumb or just funny headlines. Things like "Naked Passenger Disrupts Flight." I remember the prize of my collection was one about the paleontology department at a Japanese university finding a fossilized mammoth. And I quote: "Kinki University Discovers Mammoth Bone" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Duncan Posted January 23, 2007 Back when I was 13 or so, I'd always scan the newspaper looking for dumb or just funny headlines. Things like "Naked Passenger Disrupts Flight." I remember the prize of my collection was one about the paleontology department at a Japanese university finding a fossilized mammoth. And I quote:"Kinki University Discovers Mammoth Bone" The best headline I ever saw (from a major newspaper) was five, six years ago about a failed kidnapping attempt, and there was an injunction preventing the name of the target from being printed. So the headline was, literally, "WHO IS MR X?" Yeah, life was good back five, six years ago when it was a 50's mystery serial. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
