The Headline Game – 7/4/07
Real life or parody? Sometimes, I can’t tell the difference anymore. That’s when it’s time for the Headline Game.
Below are two headlines from CNN.com and two headlines from The Onion. Can you spot which are the real headlines and which are the fakes?
1. Keg thefts cost brewers $50 million
2. Relieve stress by smashing up a hotel room
3. Report: Many U.S. parents outsourcing child care overseas
4. Revised Patriot Act will make it illegal to read Patriot Act
Note: CNN headlines taken from front page of CNN.com; headline of actual story may differ. Capitalization on the Onion headlines changed to match the style of CNN.
Answers: Story 1, Story 2, Story 3, Story 4
