    A couple that are non-sports related..

    The midget psychic that escaped from jail had the headline, "Small Medium at Large".

    Or the article about the lunatic that escaped from the asylum, was alledged to have sexually assulted a lady at a laundromat, but is still on the run. Headline read "Nut Screws Washer and Bolts".

    The London Sun had a ripper many years ago, around the time that the Major Government was up to its eyeballs in sleaze.

    The Government released a tough Budget, prompting the headline: "Now we've all been screwed by Cabinet."

    Other faves include:

    Headles Body in Topless Bar (N.Y Post) ; and

    Iraqi Head Seeks Arms (News of TheWorld)

    Locally, the Mx had a good one the day after Julia Gillard gave her so-called misogyny speech: "Julia Caesar"

    From "The Truth" or some such when I was younger:

    Summer health warning : Thickshake freezes mans brain.

    And

    Pensioner fends off attacker with frozen rissole.

    Ahh the "TRUTH". My favourite banner headline from the truth was in reference to Bart Cummings having the favourite in the Cox plate one year. The headline was "BARTS COX IN BOX". Pure gold.

    The worst part of that article is that Dick is always good for 4 or 5 goals against us.

    In a vague sporting tie in, when Muralitharan's bowling action was scientifically tested after the Daryl Hair no ball controversy, a newspaper allegedly ran with the headline "Hair or No Hair, Murali's Balls are Clean".

    Lets Bury the other threads on the AFL commission & list managing so the AFL can move forward!!! Start as many threads as we can to try to bury these sad topics, & hopefully they'll go away.

    And most of these distraction threads are by people with small post counts, IMO aliases.

    There used to be a guy who played for Claremont called Micock....true story!

    He was caught playing with himself after the game. Headline read "Micock can't get enough!" It was a think piece about passion and over doing it.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
