The Rules

  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Please also avoid duplicates.

Russia already had population issues. Sometime, I think the turn of the century, they enacted a new state holiday for people to stay home and make babies. Not even making that up.

Imagine how bad it is now!
