Headlines So Bad They're Good

Handsome Chinese vagrant draws fans of 'homeless chic'


















Media Outlet: The UK's The Independent

Date: March 4

Offense: INSENSITIVE!

Homeless Chic? I suppose it's not really the Independent at fault here -- they at least reference Zoolander to show they're aware of how absurdly perverse this is.

Conclusion: The Chinese government clearly needs to stop censoring real entertainment on the Internet... That dude is pretty hot, though.

Shiloh Jolie-Pitt’s Tomboy Chic Style


















Media Outlet: People Magazine

Date: Feb. 24

Offense: Ridiculousness

The very premise of this slide show is ridiculous; thus, the headline. Let's think about this: Is a three-year-old wearing a monkey hat really "showing she’s a fearless fashion risk taker"?

More ridiculous: I was engrossed through all seven slides. Shiloh is adorable.

A Star-Spangled Bummer for the U.S. Hockey Team












Media Outlet: Detroit Free Press

Date: March 1

Offense: Eye-roll inducing pun

The Olympics are already completely smarmy, as are the commercials. Can we at least keep the cheesiness out of the headlines?
