    Default Worst news headline ever?

    I saw this in the NZ Stuff news website. The article is titled ...

    Posh Spice could be in a wheelchair

    http://www.stuff.co.nz/entertainment...n-a-wheelchair

    Yeah - I was thinking wtf would be wrong there. Only reading the article it turns out the Posh Spices wearing of high heels has caused her to develop bunions, and she needs an operation. So she might need a wheelchair for a couple of weeks afterwards and wear flat shoes.

    Erm ... not quite the news story it looked to be.

    Surely this is the standard by which all headlines are judged

    Dennis, Francois, Melba and Smasher are competing to see who can wine and dine Lola Whitecastle and win the contract to write her memoirs. Can Dennis learn how to be charming? Can Francois concentrate on anything else when food is on the table? Will Smasher keep his temper under control?

    If only the 28th century didn't keep popping up to get in Dennis's way...

    And imagine the gold plated, ultra-pimped wheelchair that Posh-o could buy.

    As for Ant and Dec! I know Dec doesn't like people bending back the spines of his books, but Ant stores his cutlery in alphabetical order. Speaking anally, it's Ant all the way (which one is he again?)
    Pity. I have no understanding of the word. It is not registered in my vocabulary bank. EXTERMINATE!

    I don't think even they know any more.
    For every fail, there is an equal and opposite win.

    ...Oh, who am I kidding?

    "Which one are you?"
    "I'm Ant!"
    "Hang on, I'm Ant, you're Dec!"
    "No wait, You're Dec, I'm Ant!"
    "Ant!"
    "Dec!"
    "Dec!"
    "Ant!"
    "Let's call the whole thing off..."

    Good job David Beckham didn't hear you say that "Why'd you say that? Are you saying I couldn't afford a real gold one? Cos I could!".

    I'm still incredulous over that story. She's not going in a wheelchair really ffs. What next? "Posh took drugs!" and you open the article to read "whilst she was in labour she was administed pethidene".
