Consistently one of the best shows on NPR, "This Amercian Life" recently did a show on the subject of tough rooms. One crowd of harsh critics covered was the editorial board of the Onion, which apparently has the reputation of churning through 700 sample headlines before boiling their selections down to a handful per issue. If you're not familiar with the Onion, feel free to stop by their website -- The Onion dot com. The site even comes with a Z seal of approval for personal ad browsing, which should tell you a lot about the big guy. I mean, what's he looking for there, whether Orny's free tonight (speaking of tough rooms)?
The reason I bring up the Onion piece, is because I'd like to submit a few of my own sample headlines that you all are free to skewer.
