  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Please also avoid duplicates.

He was born in 1942. Imagine all the wonderful things he could have done with his life!

I'm sure he did plenty of wonderful things for his life. His life. Not the lives of the people he was paid to represent.
