...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.

We've always been this dumb. Just look at the gladiators.

"We" didn't get dumb, dumb people got louder because of technology. They have been empowered with a megaphone with an entire audience of fellow idiots.
