The Onion

I don't know if the Onion has done something along these lines, but I think this would be funny:

Woman appearing to be on cell phone was actually talking to herself

No word if any charges were filed as Ms. Jones was whisked away in a straightjacket.

They weren’t a pretty-boy guitar band, but they weren’t a scuzzy bunch of ragamuffins either. Though the band hailed from England, Catherine Wheel found itself more welcome on American air...
