And I will not give a + anything for this headline. It is beyond tacky, and it doesn't bear any relevance to the story, beyond the missile test firings.

Super Chronic: Morton_toes: Super Chronic: CapitolG: Super Chronic: Wait a second... shouldn't there be something actually referring to seagulls in the article before we applaud the headline? What am I missing?

Clue

No, I'm quite aware of the 80s band. The point is that a reference in a headline is supposed to have something to do with the article. As Car_Ramrod pointed out, random pop culture references having nothing to do with the story are pointless. Hey, I can do it: "North Korean missile goes nowhere near Europe. The Final Countdown is on!"

Nice beat, easy to dance to.... I give it a 7!

"North Korean missile test is pure madness. Good thing the missile won't come anywhere near our house!"

/I can do this all day, folks


I'm with you on this one.

I heard they were launching a King Missile, and they would stop When "Pigs Will Fly"......

You should have submitted it with a better headline.... This beats the crap out of the headline about the Canadian mint.

Come on... Now with name-calling because I called subby out because they made up a junk headline to go with a story that was out of date before it was greenlit and was beat to the punch by a story that had all of the information. There are a million jokes to be had from this story, and the one the gets the green is a Flock of Seagulls reference? How about "Kim Jong Il launches short range missiles into Sea of Japan. He's no Smooth Criminal". Or maybe "I wasn't Born on the 4th of July, but North Korea had better Jump back from Clear and Present Danger before the Final Countdown". Or better yet "North Korea continues its assault on the Sea of Japan". That last one was already done? Huh...

i have friends in Hokkaido, friends in S Korea, and currently staying in Big Busan (aka:bergen County NJ) who are worried, defiant and and do not trust the NKorean gov. I will tell them these jokes, sing some songs and mention that the NKor just want a blank cheque like M Allbrite (sp) gave them back in the late 90's when they shot satellites over japan. this is a serious matter but we need to keep up the fun "in this big country"

Dire: Milamber1a: Not to pop everyone's make fun of asians bubble, but Koreans can actually pronounce the letter L. It's Chinese and Japanese that cannot. Now have a Korean say R and we have another funny stoly. My favorite phrase... I so solly.

Chinese can't pronounce L? Are you kidding me?

I'm not downplaying the seriousness of this matter one bit. I'm just saying that is one of the worst headlines I've seen in recent months, and the story is an out-of-date repeat from this morning. The Canadian Mint headline from today is even better, and that is a terrible headline.

/no sand in this vag, just don't like being called vulgar names by people that don't have a clue, regardless of whether the name fits or not.
