Answering the Headlines

Do you ever find yourself skimming headlines online, in magazines and newspapers and answering them in your mind?

I do all the time. My response may very well be misinformed in that the headline may not at all capture the truth about the ensuing article. Here are some of my initial responses:

"Jennifer Love Hewitt: 'I am not fat!"
ME: I wish I were as "fat" as you. (I am not a single digit size like she is, if she is fat, I wanna be like her!)

"Canadian Man Hit With $85,000 Cell Phone Bill"
ME: Where are your teenagers?

Linday Lohan: "It Was Time To Grow Up"
ME: It was, and you have drank more in your lifetime than I have in mine.
(I am mere months away from 40)

"Hulk Hogan says he'd like to see a Gladiator pummel Rosie O'Donnell"
ME: Interesting picture in my mind.

"Compromise Reached on Climate Change"
ME: Mother Nature speaks?

"Bush says steriods 'sullied' baseball"
ME: This is timely news?

"Panel Says Cold Medicines Work"
Duh! That is why I use them. Who spent money finding that out?

"Katie Holmes Tells Mag What Turns Tom On"
TMI! TMI! TMI!

We all have responses to the headlines, what a great idea to post them.

How about a response to all of those Brittney headlines?

Too numerous! Oh my word! I think the best commentary I heard was from one of our local newscasters. He started a Britney report with this statement, "It would take a real trainwreck to make Britney's life any worse." That about covers it.

It would be completely funny if it weren't so tragic that two little boys are in the midst of her absolute chaos.
