Ripping the Headlines Today - Paul Lander, Humor Times

Making fun of the headlines today, so you don’t have to

The news doesn’t need to be complicated and confusing; that’s what any new release from Microsoft is for. And, as in the case with anything from Microsoft, to keep the news from worrying our pretty little heads over, remember something new and equally indecipherable will come out soon:

Really all you need to do is follow one simple rule: barely pay attention and jump to conclusions. So, here are some headlines today and my first thoughts:

So, expect him to leave it any day now for a younger, hotter, Eastern European flag.

… does that mean, if you really want it, putting an onion ring on it?

What can I say besides ‘Props!’

Only thing worse would have been a Big Mac Attack!

Uh, wear a condom?

Damn, some guys will do anything to sleep on the couch.

Kim Kardashian rocks her most revealing look yet really

…’cause the only thing more revealing than her sex tape is if they released her X-rays!

Man who bought $540 worth of Girl Scout cookies arrested in drug bust

Makes sense, always thought of those Thin Mints as a gateway cookie.
