Idiotic click bait headlines

Posted on by

Are not only cuntish, but infuriating.

We have 8 public/religious Bank Holidays in the UK. Five are fixed, but three aren’t.

Christmas Day
Boxing Day
New Year’s Day.

Now, traditionally if one (or even two) of these dates fall on a weekend, the following Monday ( and Tuesday) become Bank Holidays, and have done for my entire life.

For some reason, this rag seems to think that Boxing Day in 2026 deserves a special mention.

Manchester evening news

Do they think we’re cretins? How the hell is this news, and even if I was oblivious, why do I need to be notified 16 months in advance?

Slow news day indeed!

Your favorite idiotic headline, please.
I cannot be the only person who finds this infuriating.

  1. It looks like it has been taken down. Too controversial, it would seem. The internet has caused the demise of many things, journalism being one. Revenue is by click, so misleading bollocks and quotes out of context are the norm. You’d need a crystal ball to confirm it, but it is my conviction the world would be a happier and more profitable place without the internet. Far less cunts too.

  2. In order to not fill my brain full of MSM bullshit, I just jump to the first comment in click bait articles, where some helpful chap will give a one line summary.

  6. Years ago my local newspaper had a thing about morals, so on weeks when there wasn’t another horrific story about our local “Sauna Of Shame”, they would find another example of our scabrosness. My all time favourite ws: “STRIP CLUB SHAME – MAGISTRATES TO ACT ON INDECENT SHOWS”

    As for future headlines I would plump for:

    MANDELSON FOUND GUILTY OF UNDERAGE BUGGERY

    and ED MILIBAND FOUND HANGED

  8. The Express, when not publishing made up stories about Meghan & Hewitt, are currently engaging in another obsession ripe for click bait.
    ‘Pretty little seaside town where residents are shocked by….’
    ‘Pretty little market town sees house prices crash after….’
    ‘Pretty little village stunned by influx of….’
    All of which, if you bother to look for an explanation in the fourth paragraph, after several ads, isn’t about illegal immigrants as you’d probably expect, but things like subsidence or housing development.
    Bullshit like this, even if only read for half a second, convinces the marketing departments and ad agencies that they’re on a winner.
    If only they knew the truth.

  9. “Recently renovated roof of Palace of Westminster collapses onto House of Commons during PMQs,no survivors found”..

    That’s a fine reason for a bank holiday I must say.

    Good morning.
