Let’s face it, between anchors that scream their heads off and news stories that count the number of times a celebrity brushed her hair off of her face during a press conference, we have to agree that most of the ‘news’ that we consume today would probably put the term to shame. Information has been monopolized by sensationalization and advertising. Need some proof? Here are 12 real, honest-to-freaking-God, I-can’t-believe-I’m-reading-these headlines that will make you want to facepalm, hard!
1. Coming soon to theatres near you…
Still a better love story than Twilight, though.
2. Because one surname is way too mainstream.

3. Love is fickle, no?
Oh SNAP! You just got catfished!
4. What the actual hell?
Now that’s a wedding he’ll never forget…
5. This explains everything, almost everything.

*speechless*

After going through this brain-cell-killing list, this is what we really have to say:
Guys, you are only as smart as the newspaper you read, so why read junk? #SayNoToJunk by switching to DNA (available in New Delhi & Mumbai from 11th October) and let your brain cells come alive again. It’s really easy, simply ask your newspaper-wale bhaiyya to change your paper. If that wasn’t enough inspiration to switch, then maybe this hilarious video will help you put that grey matter to use.
