Fark headlines of the week, November 10 - November 17. Come for the bungee headline; stay for the dig at the Maple Leafs Posted by Drew at 2008-11-17 2:22:36 PM, edited 2009-01-19 4:09:43 AM (69 comments) | Permalink More: FarkBlog
Here's this week's top headlines. Great stuff as usual. I wanted to take a quick opportunity to thank just a few of the MSM outlets that quoted Fark taglines recently. We really appreciate it. Everyone feel free to do the same, we don't mind a bit. Publicity is good. Both the Seattle Times and the Las Vegas Review used our headline about the Detroit Lions moving to the 3-and-out offense. The LA Times loved our little ditty about Hendrix, while The Star-Tribune took note of the Domo-Kun sellout at Target and referenced the original Fark photoshop that started the craze. The Baltimore Sun enjoyed our headline about rugby players being inconvenienced during a match when a dead player was removed from the field. And of course, ABCNews is finally agreeing with what Fark has been preaching all along: Florida is stupid. And we love the mentions and the use of our material, we encourage it. Please link back to us though (we're lookin' at you, MSN). And for a little It's not Fark, It's News: here's the most important obscure thing that happened last week in case you missed it (and most people did, it's complicated). "Bretton Woods II". Material and research on this is scattershot on the web, for instance Wikipedia redirects "Bretton Woods System" to "2008 G-20 Washington Summit" but that's not exactly right, per se. So read up on that. Okay, so here's the headlines: Headlines of the Week, November 10 - November 16, 2008 20 facts about bungee jumping. 20 facts about bungee. 20 facts about. 20 facts. 20 Restraining order issued against Las Vegas' Valley Eye Center.
