The Rules

Links to news stories from...
...credible sources, with...
...their original headlines, that...
...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.

Many countries do or did something like that already though? Like Peking -> Beijing, Ivory Coast -> Cote d'Ivore, Turkey -> Türkiye and so on.
