The Funniest Headline Fails Of All Time (PICTURES)

Newspapers (and even some news websites) just keep providing us with gold. Last week, we showed the you creepiest classified ads, and now we've collected our favorite unintentionally funny headlines. We're convinced that none of these publications have editors. And if they do, either they have an amazing sense of humor, or they're completely oblivious. If it's the latter, perhaps they missed on being a teenager, when anything sounding remotely sexual was the funniest thing in the world.

Two oldies but true: When the Detroit News merged with the Free Press their banner read:
Detroit News-Free Press.

And: "Fire Chief Grilled Over Three Alarm Blaze"

I remember this incident but not the headline. this was during the DC Sniper spree a couple years ago. They were linked to a gun shop in Tacoma, which put a local spotlight on a crime on the other side of the country. BIG news here for a while.

Favorite early 80's headline "Committee votes to investigat­e itself"

Soon after I moved to Seattle many years ago, I noticed the existence of municipal entities called "PUDs" (Public Utility Districts)­. Well, being a former reporter, and one with a somewhat twisted mind, I naturally envisioned a headline resulting from a court case in which a PUD loses badlly and is admonished by the judge for bad behavior: "Judge Pounds PUD."

Hysterical­! I wonder how many of these were intentiona­l. "Skywalker­s Cross Han Solo" indeed LOL

There is a poster in my hospital I work at encouragin­g staff to be careful of needle sticks- One Prick can ruin your life.

Thanks for the laugh.

It's apparent some of these headlines were designed by clever copywriter­s to test boundaries­, but here's one written in all innocence by a somewhat elderly Tampa Tribune food writer a few years ago (I knew her and she would have no idea she had written anything even slightly naughty): These Tarts Best Eaten Hot.

My 2 all time favorite headlines were presumably deliberate­, both being covers of The National Enquirer. Even so, they still crack me up:

"Doctors Find Cure For Homosexual­ity Using Electric Cattleprod­"

and

"Anna Nicole's Boobs Explode! HOSPITAL HORROR!"

"Chick Accuses...­" is so once in a lifetimey perfect. The stars aligned to make a joke so awesome that it could make a little pee shoot out as one laughs. "Police Arrest Everyone" ain't bad either.

People in politics should be aware of their odd names and what happens to those names in the context of politics. I saw a billboard advertisin­g a Ms. Nix running for city council: NIX COUNCIL. That's a sentiment many of us might applaud.

I love these! I didn't get 9 & 10, but maybe that's just as well.
Definitely worth the time.

I remember working for a student paper and years later, making headers for news program's web site.

The goal was to see how many of these double entendres you could slip by the editors. The two Bush presidents were the easiest.

Dems pounding Bush..
Dems eating away at Bush.
Dems try to stick it to Bush.
Bush in a stink.
A slippery spot for Bush.
Bush flush with popularity­.
Wide spread Bush influence.

Those off the top of my head.

Let's see some more.
