I don't know if you ever watch the Tonight Show on NBC but every Monday night, ( usually about 11:45 ) Jay Leno has the bit called "Headlines."
Similar things to what you posted. Makes you wonder if these newspapers ever have an editor look over any of the material?

Things like:

Japan deports Paris Hilton. She says, I didn't want to see the Great Wall anyway!

I realize now that the photo was taken New Year's Eve.
So maybe he will win last year's award ...
