Headline writing is largely regarded as being a skill that can entice an audience to click into an article or create a conversation.
And that’s exactly what these have done! In this new feature, we’re taking a look at some of the most unusual headlines that made their way online during the week.
Here are some of our favourites from the week that was:
1. Vice
A rather unusual story from Vice… “BiteLabs grows meat from celebrity tissue samples and uses it to make artisanal salami.” So proclaims the copy on BiteLabs.org, right under an all-caps call to action: EAT CELEBRITY MEAT.”
2. People
People reports that “Hercule the parrot helped solve the murder of its owner in Agra, India”.
3. Wired
Wired reports of a strange creature who swims up the bum of a sea cucumber and chows down on it.
4. SF Weekly
SF Weekly reports of selfies causing head lic infestations! “Upon reading the email, it does in fact appear that selfies can lead to lice — if you’re squishing in with a bunch of buddies for a Instagram photo” they write.
5. The Sun
This is pretty amazing.
