The Rules

Links to news stories from...

...their original headlines, that...
...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.

The great thing about the kind of idiots that pass these stupid laws is that they are idiots.

The terrible thing is that since they are idiots they won't see this as proof that the law is stupid but instead that they should make the law stupider.
