Here are some real headings from newspapers around the world with some appropriate smarty pants comments in brackets. It really does pay to get someone else with a fresh pair of eyes to look over your copywriting…..

I love the Jib Jab family and their take on 2009 is politically wrong on every level. Isn’t that a relief? Enjoy. Lets hope we can all stay a little more irreverant for the next few years.

There really are a lot of people with way too much time on their hands. This is very funny (it does contain swearing in German, English and Apple languages). Enjoy.

From time to time we all need some inspiration in the form of a wise saying. Well here are 54 that are bound to get you all fired up. Some of these are politically incorrect so please take them in jest as they are purely to put a smile on your face at a time when the world seems to be lacking in humor.
