Post Fucking correct.
Beasts Launch War On Mankind With Deadly Elephant Rampage.

That, friends, is how you compose a fucking news headline.

Perfect headline includes beasts, rampage, and deadly. This is possibly the greatest headline ever.

Seriously, like normal cliche news-headlining form would prescribe what, something like "Wild Elephants Terrorize Town" or "Local Authorities Subdue Loose Elephant"

These champions however:

"BEASTS LAUNCH WAAAARRRR(!) ON MANKIND(!!!) WITH DEADLY ELEPHANT RAMMMMMMPAGE!!!!!!!"












WE'LL SELL YOU THE WHOLE SEAT. BUT YOU'LL ONLY NEED THE EDGE!

ROAR!




It is just perfect. All newsfolks should take heed.

I should add, that i don't know exactly what kind of website that is, but that i found myself directed there by what is actually a legitimate serious local news source:

I mean, it is clearly not their own content, but just the same, it is hilarious within the context of being placed directly next to, like, actual serious/normal news headlines.

Another hilarious news-based development, the user generated report(which is straight up linked from CNN's frontpage, lending it that extra "serious news report" zazz) :

Armadillo Desperate For Water!

I wasn't able to watch the vid. But Chris... Rampaging murdering elephants is always serious news.

It's true! The global animal uprising has apparently commenced. (And yes, there is evidence of that "cross-species coordination against human hegemony" that Barbara Ehrenreich was talking about.) It's going down! Two legs vs. four! Which side are you on?!


OK WITCH SIED ARE YOU ON? HUH? HUH?

Cows: slow and stupid enough that primitive peoples could build fences around them and they'd be none the wiser. The largest prey animal I can think of off the top of my head. Not as cool (read: mean) as buffaloes. Their primary evolutionary advantage seems to be being tasty, which is not much of an advantage, all told.

Elephants have them beat on every level. If you need a sacred animal, they're up there. I mean, we don't have mammoths or sabre-toothed cats or gigantopithicuses or baluchitheriums or allosauruses or dimetrodons or the like anymore, so if you gotta has a sacred something I suppose they make the cut. They're smart, they're gigantic, they can break things, and they have awesome noses. What's not to like? Oh, and tusks, which are like horns or antlers, but not quite the same.

Guilt?

A useful article would be, "Handling the body after you kill someone"
