Dear creature (since I'm not sure if you're a human or a monster or an animal or something pretending to be another),

I throw my arms as a symbol of "thankfulness" for visiting this oasis. But just so I know who's specifically knocking at our oasis's front door, do you mind if you register or log in?

You're currently wandering outside our oasis as a ghost. This means your face is unrecognizable and you are limited to certain areas of our oasis and there are some abilities you don't possess. If you become one of us, you'll be able to access monster-only sections, and use many monster-only features such as having a slimy profile, sending monsterosas letters, and a lot more. Monsterification is simple, fast, and completely free.

Do you have what it takes to become a monster?

If you're already a monster here then please slobiverate your details below in order to access all the features you deserve: (Plus, you'll get rid of this annoying reminder.)

So... bisexuals and asexuals are immune?

Okay, crappy joke, but still...

Stoopid logic is stoopid.

Yes, I get what you mean, Kady.

The news is supposed to be serious but I find what I quoted stupid.

I find stuff like that all the time. Some funnier than others, but all the same.

Though not exactly what I was referring to in my previous post, these flubbed headlines are very similar. I thought news publications had proofreaders to check these things, but I guess in these cases either they didn't have them or just had a bad day (or good day for us). Uncle John's Bathroom Reader series also LOVES achieving these. Here's an article elaborating on the phenomenon.

PS- Do you think you should send that pic to FailBlog or something, Bryan? The blog loves news article and Yahoo! Answers fail, especially.

FailBlog? I never heard of it. Is it an actual site?

I often thought those headlines are intentional or probably they were not aware. But I'm not complaining, their double meanings have the potential to make people chuckle. I too, have smiled, to some.

Those flubbed headlines remind me of the actual headlines and sub-headlines written on my joke book (the same one containing the 50 qualities that show you are undoubtedly Pinoy, if you still remember). I'm not sure if they're really actual but either which, because of some of them, I smiled.

Here are some:

Cancer Cures Smoking
Bold Stars Appeal To Cardinal Sin
Flash Floods Leave City Waterless For Two Days
Director Pante Briefs Media On Event
Finally, Miriam Bares Her Assets
Farmer Bill Dies In House
Grade 5 Kids Make Unique Snacks
Erap Promises Reforms, But More Lies Ahead
Unique Medicinal Plant Does All But Sing
Solon Running Again On Track Record
Beverage Giant Plans To Drop Case On Rival
Firm Is Strong, Head Says
De Mesa* Is Now New Chair
Plane Crashes; All Passengers Dead According To Survivor

(*mesa means table)

[Long list of flubbed headlines here]
FailBlog's as real as my hair color. I posted several of my favorite "fails" in the Funny Thread.

Maybe some of them were, like that Stevie Nicks/Lindsay Lohan article whose headline included the title of one of Stevie's songs. But as far as I know, most of them just suck at word choice.

A lot of those are very cute, Bryan. ^^ (Yep, I actually remember the "Pinoy" list, too. If anything reminds me positively of "You Might be a Redneck if..." jokes, I like it.) My favorites from your list were "Flash Floods Leave City Waterless for Two Days," "Finally, Miriam Bares Her Assets," "Farmer Bill Dies in House (At least he didn't die in a sewage tank?)," "Beverage Giant Plans To Drop Case On Rival," and "All Passengers Dead According to Survivor (this especially made me LOL)." Thanks for sharing; they cheered me up. ^^

Here's some of my favorites from the latest Uncle John's article:

"Institute will Immerse Students in Volcano,"
"Community Rallies to Help Massacre Survivors,"
"Viagra Doesn't See Growth It Expected,"
"Crack Found in Man's Buttocks,"
"Delay in Switch to Digital TV is Delayed,"
"Obama: Gays will be Pleased by End of My Administration,"
"Poison Control Center Reminds Everyone Not to Take Poison,"
"Army Suicides Expected to Jump,"
and "Brawl Erupts at Peace Ceremony"
