Newspaper headlines

I love punning newspaper headlines! At least if they are good - but what makes one good? I'm not quite sure, to be honest. Have a look at these though, which are hilarious. The first is from The Metro of 25 September 2008, where an innocent man found out that his old SIM card from his phone was being used illegally. He called his story, "I paid for the SIMS of others".

My all-time favourite has to be the Sun's headline from February 2000 when little Inverness Caledonian unexpectedly beat football league giants Celtic. The Sun's inspired headline was "Super Caley go ballistic, Celtic are atrocious".

  1. Excellent - now that is a great, wish Caley would win more often though.

    Metro Newspaper do some good headlines

    This week's, owing to the sale at M & S last week, they wrote the headline

    One not in any paper, but looking for headlines for the US election, our local radio station came up with, McCain has had his chips

    apparently it caused chaos at Blue Water shopping centre in Essex when M & S had their 20% off all stock.
