Especially if they charge $5 a month for a premium section.

submitter: If only there was a website that allowed people to do that

Meh, if there was, they'd get over it.

It's a great idea until you get gems like:

Oceana has always been at war with Eurasia.

Weaver95 malreported, verify previous comment.

Good, most headline writers for newspapers should be fired. Do they even RTFA?

Or better yet, how about the article writers write the headline?

As long as the headlines are happy and without the dreaded snark.

Well maybe a little.

At least in the newspaper you dont have to go through an annonomys Proxy server just to access the damn site.

as long as there's no comment section to dumb it down...

Well, it would sort of make bad decisions after sometime over greed of money. Chow up on people's insightful comments/submitted headlines while trying hard to maximize profit-intake-- even if that means compromising user-experience, and you know -- things of such the like

Why do You capitalize Random words In the middle Of sentences?

I don't Know. I really Don't.

Who cares, the average citizen could not write a good headline if their lives depended on it.

Wait there are sites that lets readers make up headlines...NO WAY....NO FREAKIN' WAY *throws gas on himself and sets himself on fi-are*

Why do you need to wait until Payday to fork over five bucks? Why don't you just pull some change out Of your Couch?

Current Balance Including Pending Transactions: $45.00

You tell me.

I'm one of at least two Farkers that works for the company that owns the Arizona Republic. Coincidence? BWA-HA-HA-HA-HA!!!!

Lets see here. $45.00 - $5.00 = $40.00. I don't see the problem here.

NorCalFarker: Lets see here. $45.00 - $5.00 = $40.00. I don't see the problem here.

T-mobile wants $60, Sears wants $200, Capital One wants $100... I think Drew can wait for my $5.

someone needs to stop bragging about their fancy bank accounts and lines of credit... faked my own death

And apparently not to you, mister fellow liter. Perhaps when Drew starts accepting Best Buy gift cards as payment for TF, I'll be okay.

It's no good if they don't have to fit headline to the predetermined space available.

*Ah, the joys of late-night rewriting of headlines because some copy editor screwed up the copy fitting. Bonus points if you can reuse the original words and avoid charges for AAs.*

'were', not 'was'. You wanted the subjective tense; you used the past tense.

At least on Fark, that's the intent.


FTFA: I couldn't even begin to estimate the number of complaints I've fielded over 30 years in the business about headlines being inaccurate, inappropriate or just too grim. Now, we're giving you a chance to write them.

I'm wondering, are they trying to avoid culpability for writing shiatty headlines? "Hey I didn't write it!! Not my fault! Kthxbye30432 wrote it and my editor was just fine with it!"

I submitted this with a better headline!

/not really

Greenlight.

No.

Not yours.

Yeah, if only.....

None will ever compare to headlines created by the deviants at the New York Daily News. Absolute masters of the whore sensationalist prose genre, there is no low to which they will not stoop. Magnificient bastards, I applaude them.

/the only way it gets better is to read the NYDN while eating bacon

Yeah, right. Then what, people showing off videos of themselves being dumbasses?

This intarweb thing. Such a fad.

That's still my favorite FARK headline of all time. I bust out laughing every time I see it. The sheer confusion and incredulity in the thread is classic.

maybe some of them will get a kick out of these replies

syrynxx: 'were', not 'was'. You wanted the subjective tense; you used the past tense.

You mean the subjunctive mood?

You mean pet peeve?

/Mighty fine glass house you live in, there

And just Fark, I'll never get a green light there either.
