The Most Absurd News Headlines That Will Make You Laugh Then Cry at Our Ridiculous World

The world is sometimes a scary, lonely, and horrible place. It seems like whenever you open the news these days, something terrible has happened somewhere and it's becoming numbing and ridiculous to even consider that there's good news out there. Fortunately, there are the few news stories that slip through the cracks in the machine, blessing our feeds with some of the most ridiculous heccin' titles imaginable. 

So sure, maybe there's been a horrific bombing in the Middle East… but there's also a talking parrot that was banned from the local zoo because he was cursing everyone out! The world is all about balance and the news is no exception. For us, that balance is critical to maintaining a healthy mental ability to continue opening up our news apps or flipping through the newspaper (if anyone really even does that anymore… do they even still deliver papers?) So stay informed and check out the most absurd, hilarious, and possibly fake news articles that never hit your screen.
