News stories that aren't "news"...

[jackthehack]

Submit your own to the thread, my starting submission from the NYTimes of all places is " Pot Found on 2 Lil Wayne Tour Buses "

http://www.nytimes.com/aponline/2009/12/19/arts/AP-US-Lil-Wayne-Detained.html?_r=1

Now if pot WASN'T found on Lil Wayne's tour buses, that WOULD be news...

Well, DUH? Is it just me?

Anything on the yahoo.com homepage. That was the default homepage at my last job, and their "news" stories bugged the hell out of me. Obviously I can't think of any examples right now...  :doh:

Well, "Mega sports star cheats on smokin' wife" may have been the least newsy news in a long time.

'Musician overdoses'. Has been doing the rounds here in Australia today. Sad for those who knew the musician..............  :sad:

To me, the only real surprise is that the musician was a classical oboist with an Orchestra instead of your stereotypical rock guitarist!
