Humor and Creativity — Headlines Contest
Kick-off your new year by stimulating your humor creativity. Our theme for the January Humor Contest is: Headlines We’ll Never See!
There is more than one angle you can use to approach this writing challenge. You can create headlines you’d like to see but think you never will. Or you can create headlines that you’d really rather not see. Both approaches will work well to get your creativity flowing.
Here are some examples to get you going:
Headlines We’ll Never See!
Rosie and Donald Celebrate Wedding of The Century
Arms Manufacturers File Bankruptcy Due of World Peace
Cat Obedience School Opens
Gold Medal Awarded in First Olympic Deal-or-No-Deal Competition
Federal Deficit Eliminated
Presidential Campaign Conducted Without Negative Attack Ads
