And when I move they walk around.
When I bend them they climb the stairs,
And when I shave them they ain’t got hairs.

Journalistic style (API) is different from your standard English/grammar writing (MLA). Go look at some headlines on the Onion to see how this style is aped, especially the comma thing.
But yeah, there’s nothing wrong with that headline grammatically in API style.
That sounds suspiciously like when you make a complete fool of yourself in front of everybody and then go ‘I meant to do that’.
Then you have to keep doing the foolish thing time and again to prove that you meant to do it all along rather than admit you’re wrong.
It looks like a pissed off cat to me…the way my cats look at me when I’ve forgotten to fill their food dish, or their toy is out of catnip, or for no reason at all (because they’re cats and they can).
Hey guys, I hate to tell you this, but Lou can read what you’re writing, and I don’t think he’ll sell his secret to people who are talking about him like that… Hi Lou! Looking good today!
Original headline from September 14:
“STAR TRIBUNE: “MINNESOTA POLL: OBAMA, MCCAIN ARE DEAD EVEN IN STATE””
I hate those stupid stick on ads. We have a local plumber I’ll never use because they keep buying those things. They keep messing up articles (rip the paper sometimes) when I take them off to read what’s underneath.
Thank you. It’s the Lone Mountain by Tolkien, although the small size of the avatar doesn’t do justice to it.
You probably know that Tove Jansson also illustrated The Hobbit ?
No I did not. I’ve only ever watched both versions of the moomins, and looked to see what else she wrote, I didn’t know she did illustrations for other people’s works.
Thankyou for that. I’ve just found a page showing the illustrations, they’re grand.
No I did not. I’ve only ever watched both versions of the moomins, and looked to see what else she wrote, I didn’t know she did illustrations for other people’s works.
Thankyou for that. I’ve just found a page showing the illustrations, they’re grand.
I knew Inpu and Zeppelin weren’t lying. Of course this is a big fail. That’s a terrible deal. Only $1? I bet they jacked the price up $5 just so they can put it on sale soon afterwards. Have the ancient Greeks been threatening that newspaper until the paper advertised horrible deals? Those bastards.
Its a gag newspaper more than a photoshop I think. Still, that’s just a guess. Either way, gag newspapers does seem look a good idea, but so did my automatic cat washing gyro and we all know how that ended.
I hate those. I work for a local Newspaper company and we have to put stickers (or News Notes as they are referred to in the industry) on Most newspapers that get printed by us. They cover up important parts of the front page as show in the image above giving you an funny headline plus when you remove them off the paper they lift up a significant amount of ink from the paper (especially if the paper is freshly printed)
What? Both candidates died and we were never told except by these brave mavericks? MAINSTREAM MEDIA BIAS!! Wake up, sheeple, you are being lied to!!! /s
Both of them?!?!
OH NOZ !
The price goes up with every first…
The creepy part is, the sticker is hiding the word “Sexy”.
Obama, McCain are dead SEXY!
Now THAT is funny!
That was stupid
in a bad mood?
Necrophilia or negrophilia?
Obama is sexy, McCain is dead.
shut up i like McCain
mccain lost hahahahahaha
You suck!!!
Now you’re just showing off!
Nothing like a good demo to my potential customers
Lou, whisper the secret to me. I never do ‘first’ comments, but you’ve made me curious!
*wonders how to whisper so that nobody else could hear*
¿ideas about that?
Hmm, message my myspace?
WordPress really needs to implement a PM function.
Just think of the shenanigans that would enable!
*dreams of wonderfully naughty shenanigans dance through my head*
Yeah!
Like real time “knock-knock” jokes and recipe swapping and perhaps personally explicit platitudes with pointedly pleasurable connotations and stuff.
Mmmmmm…french bread.
Teehee
I’d like to massage your space.
Is that like googling your yahoo?
I thought she was firefoxy, myself.
Congrats on your new look k-k-k-katy!
Wha???? I can’t see it… *pouts*
Ooohh! There it is! Pretty!!!
Thank you!
*dances around with glee*
Now, to figure out the html stuff and how to make smileys.
html is easy, kate. For bold, type [b] and [/b] (of course replacing the ]’s with the normal pointy arrow thingies) and for italics, [i] and [/i].

I’m so sorry that I ruined it for you.
But are you soOOOoOOOooOOOoo sorry?
Wow… you’re so pretty! *admires*

Okay…
Even better, you can send me the secret to my email, then I will confirm
Could I have your email then please?
I think it’s yesistoleit@gmail.com
Hahahahahaha.
I hope so, because that’s where I sent the naked pics….
Got them, thanks!
Can I have a couple of them? I’m trying to build Mookie a shrine, but it’s kinda hard to do just with her avatar…
If the price is right.
I’ve had some expenses already with all the gold and onix but… shoot. How much?
I’m going to need unequivocal access to the space/time continuum as well as the inuendo machine. AND 100,000 dinar. And a shrubbery.
Deal!
But i want the pics in advance.
I don’t trust you. We’ll each hand our respective properties over on the count of three. Ready?
Can I have St. Charles place and Water Works?
Only if you’ll give me Reading Railroad. But be warned, I already have the other 3.
Ready!
One… two…three!
Hey, you didn’t either!

Kudos to Mikey, he guessed both my email and the “First” trick
To lose one presidential candidate, Mr. loufail, may be regarded as misfortune. To lose both looks like carelessness.
Haha woot woot Minnesota, but the viking in the background must be dissapointed! vikings need their own failblog lol! NEDM
stuff Obama, McCain YOU CAN SAVE $1.00 !!!:O:O:O
I don’t get why this is funny. Sorry.
It’s not. It’s very sad when both men are dead sexy and you can only elect one.
What about when they are both dead sexy and you can only erect one?
Dragon, there’s one more for the Humo(u)r Impairment class.
@AWESOME!: The humor lies in the fact that neither Obama nor McCain is dead, but the ad placed over the last word in the headline makes it appear that they are.
To be fair, I could see that headline appearing soon in reference to McCain…
katy, you have graduated the Humo(u)r 101 class with honors!
thats psychic newspaper, made by fail psychics, anyone knows hes gonna be dead soon:P:P
That’s not funny at all. That fail failed.
Surely the guy with the beard and the horns killed them.
Be aware, Vikings are trying to invade the USA!!

Damn him and his savings!
Remember that the viking Leiv Eriksson was the FIRST(!) to discover america… long before Columbus. I bet he said “FIRST!!” when he arrived.
No, because unlike certain numerically positionally challenged commenters he wasn’t a total FAILure at life.
Also, he spoke Old Norse.
I’m betting he said something in viking language.
Føerst?
What about the Native Americans? I wonder what they said….
“Dude needs a tan.”
Oh fcuk, not again!
Is it a grammar fail as it should say ‘Obama and McCain’ are dead?
I think newspaper headlines have their own grammar.
Newspapers do what they want, don’t care.
Journalistic style (API) is different from your standard English/grammar writing (MLA). Go look at some headlines on the Onion to see how this style is aped, especially the comma thing.
But yeah, there’s nothing wrong with that headline grammatically in API style.
That sounds suspiciously like when you make a complete fool of yourself in front of everybody and then go ‘I meant to do that’.
Then you have to keep doing the foolish thing time and again to prove that you meant to do it all along rather than admit you’re wrong.
It’s how upside-down cake came to be.
Mikey D, Sirencio deadlocked in heated debate
Is it just me or does this look totally fake?
Well, that Viking has GOT to be a picture.
So loufail is lying to us??
Shhhh…. don’t let him hear you…. he’s tricky… I don’t trust him…
Damnation, you are fast doing people appraisals
Darn, he caught us. Oh well, now he knows, so we can say it out loud.
I know, right? There’s something about his eyes…
And he doesn’t look quite… human…
It’s the ears, maybe… wait, is he a trekkie?
And the way he is peering around the corner. What is he hiding?
It looks like a pissed off cat to me…the way my cats look at me when I’ve forgotten to fill their food dish, or their toy is out of catnip, or for no reason at all (because they’re cats and they can).
I think he has a milky eye…
its photoshopped.
Well we all know what he’s hiding… but he’s auctioning it.
Definitely shifty eyes.
No offense, ErickB, but your own gaze has, uh, shifted…
a whole bunch of nesting fail there
Hey guys, I hate to tell you this, but Lou can read what you’re writing, and I don’t think he’ll sell his secret to people who are talking about him like that… Hi Lou! Looking good today!
Brownie!
Good point.
Lou, you can stop all this by telling us your secret.
The secret is very simple. Fails are posted 4 times a day at the same hours.
But I want to keep not-nesting until LOU tells us in person.
Opps! Sorry… I’d like to be in that face to face meeting with Lou. I’ll bring the cookies.
You do me much honor :blush:
I would bet that the Viking guy is actually from the newspaper since the Star Tribune is a Minnesotan newspaper
Maybe the coupon is for a florist, so we can send nice arrangements to the funerals.
Obama, McCain are deadheads? …dead to me? …deadbeat dads?
…dead even.
. . .and all i got was this lousy viking head?
I think EGG might be Snagglepuss.
Because i always end up worse off than i was before?

Ahhh, I love Minneapolis, we pretty much rock.
Of course the placement is a bit silly overlapping that viking man’s head up at the top of the page.
But what worries me more is if the headline “Obama and McCain are dead” is true! I haven’t read anything about that today (yet)…
I am curious as to what is under the coupon…
The rest of the headline. But that’s just a guess.
Much like Chuck Norris’ beard, there is no headline underneath that. There is only another fist.
Obama, McCain are dead [even], from when the polls were showing them neck and neck.
I get that paper, btw. Go minnesotans, eh?
Fake
you’d think so, wouldn’t you? Naw that’s the wonderful satire of the Star Trib’s workers.
Hurray !
Sorry, the “Hurray” was for my avatar.
There I go talking to myself again.
You make me smile.
Nice avatar too.
I want an avatar.
*pouts*
Perhaps I should go look up instructions on how to do that.
Be right back.
Ok, I give up. Help?
I got mine through signing up with gravatar.com
Test
Dammit!
Mine didn’t appear right away either. Can’t remember how long I waited though.
Yes, but I have next to no patience.
I’ll distract you with inane banter until it updates.
YAY! Very pretty.
It finally worked! Ok, now back to your formerly scheduled sarcasm, biting wit, and obscure references.
Congrats!
It looks like you now!
Yes, I look like a large pink water lily!
Thank you. It’s the Lone Mountain by Tolkien, although the small size of the avatar doesn’t do justice to it.
You probably know that Tove Jansson also illustrated The Hobbit ?
No I did not. I’ve only ever watched both versions of the moomins, and looked to see what else she wrote, I didn’t know she did illustrations for other people’s works.
Thankyou for that. I’ve just found a page showing the illustrations, they’re grand.
Thanks for the little bit of info Ill have to take a look.
No I did not. I’ve only ever watched both versions of the moomins, and looked to see what else she wrote, I didn’t know she did illustrations for other people’s works.
Thankyou for that. I’ve just found a page showing the illustrations, they’re grand.
Holy crap! Not only were you daft enough to post twice, but you stole my avatar.
GIVE THAT BACK!
…Thanks for telling me that. I looked at your avatar and saw a sea turtle.
We couldn’t be so lucky to lose them both. Then maybe someone with more substance than style or more intelligence than a beet would have won.
Nonsense. Only politicians run for president.
WIN
two for the price of one!

I have nothing of value to add to this fail so I will wait for a troll to pass by so I may taunt them a second time!

I knew Inpu and Zeppelin weren’t lying. Of course this is a big fail. That’s a terrible deal. Only $1? I bet they jacked the price up $5 just so they can put it on sale soon afterwards. Have the ancient Greeks been threatening that newspaper until the paper advertised horrible deals? Those bastards.
I…. Can’t view this, for some reason.
Ok someone needs to explain that to me
The ad-sticker thing is covering up part of the headline. It’s like how if you take the word “clock” and cover the “l”, it’ll say “cock”.
Photoshopped.
WTF Viking?
I wish my local newspaper had Vikings on it.
The Strib does it again. Excuse me while I go pretend to be surprised….
I’m ashamed to admit this is my local news paper.
The best part is that there’s something about a “wake” in the article on the right.
Its a gag newspaper more than a photoshop I think. Still, that’s just a guess. Either way, gag newspapers does seem look a good idea, but so did my automatic cat washing gyro and we all know how that ended.
Bad guess, not a gag newspaper, just a bad sticker placement. *Facepalm*
I hate those. I work for a local Newspaper company and we have to put stickers (or News Notes as they are referred to in the industry) on Most newspapers that get printed by us. They cover up important parts of the front page as show in the image above giving you an funny headline plus when you remove them off the paper they lift up a significant amount of ink from the paper (especially if the paper is freshly printed)
Yeah, the STrib has a lot of those problems these days.
That is so not an ad placement fail. It’s guarantees maximum attention for the ad, so it’s a total win.
What? Both candidates died and we were never told except by these brave mavericks? MAINSTREAM MEDIA BIAS!! Wake up, sheeple, you are being lied to!!! /s
The add is a sticky label. I deliver newspapers, and I have to put those on about once a week.
Leave it to the MINNESOTA paper… of course it has to be in my state….
my state too buddy! i am up in duluth recovering from what appears to be a massive hangover, gotta love this winter weather!
I think this is fake… they could have just moved the advertisement over the words, then taken the picture…
Fail!
BURN BABY, BURN!
Wow, American newspapers have ad pop-ups now?
It’s not photoshopped. Here’s a link to a picture of it without the sticker: http://s471.photobucket.com/albums/rr72/RandomAccountUsedForOnePicture/?action=view¤t=102_0013.jpg
It’s not photoshopped. The paper is a MN paper, hence the VIKING. And the ad is real, and just carelessly [or maybe not....
] placed.
funny shit but once again gets bad reviews
win
Of course, the headline is “Obama and McCain are dead EVEN”.
Of course, the headline is “Obama and McCain are dead even if people don’t know it yet and voted for them anyway”.
