Favorite unintentionally funny newspaper headline?
A few years back, the California Angels (I REFUSE to call them that other name...) had a pitcher with the last name of Colon (pronounced "cologne").

Well, Colon got knocked out of the box early in one game. Actually, he was pretty well shellacked. The next day, the sports section of the LA Times carried the headline, "Colon Takes a Pounding".

Now that I think of it, I'm not so sure that was unintentional on the editor's part... :spray:

2. When Jim Henson died the headline was "Kermit Croaks". I'm sure it was
intentional.
