My list of unfortunate headlines...

Old MacDonald had a run...

Not football related but when Elton John married David Furnish one of the English tabloids ran with "Elton takes David up the aisle"

hahaha!

Or "What goes on in Elton's John?"

Surely the best ever sporting headline came when the lowly-ranked Caledonian Thistle thrashed Celtic in the Scottish FA Cup a number of years ago:

"SuperCalaGoBallisticCelticAreAtrocious"

I bet they play him down back with Brown.....

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"

"One armed man applauds the kindness of strangers"

"Snedders dies on the Job"

(The Truth)

"Snedders dies on the Job"

(The Truth)

There's an apocryphal story going around about the writer compiling a book of stories about public figures who died on the job

The working title: "They came as they went"

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.

"Charles Looney"....Shrink.

(Truth)

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".

Border stays overnight with Chappell.

I remember one which read

Magpies to undergo Dick surgery or words to that effect when Brad Dick did his knee

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.

One of the Pommy Sun's more famous headlines came after Caledonian Thistle upset Celtic in the Scottish FA cup: "Super Caley go Ballistic Celtic were atrocious."

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

He was

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.

There was a headline about the Stephen F. Austin Ladyjacks womans basketball team in the States once which read:

'Lady Jacks off to hot start at conference'

Can someone please mod me? I'm trying to work out where the boundary is.
