The Headline Game – 2/7/07
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. Ancient boy’s skeleton sparks evolution debate
2. Mysterious Congressman announces dark horse candidacy
3. Thousands lose jobs as Michigan unemployment offices close
4. World’s oldest newspaper now exists only online
Note: CNN Headlines taken from front page of CNN.com; headline of actual story may differ. Capitalization on the Onion headlines changed to match CNN.
Answers: Story 1, Story 2, Story 3, Story 4
