Dumb headlines thread

Generally an unmoderated forum for discussion of pretty much any topic. The focus however, is usually politics.

If you knew him only from KISS, Gene Simmons would be "unrecognizable" ... except the tongue might give you a clue.

Simmons has had noticeable plastic surgery. Not sure whether it made him look more or less recognizable.

Willie Nelson, on the other hand, has been instantly "recognizable" for over a half century. Pic from last night's SD concert with Bob Dylan.

:D That's because he already looked "old" 50 years ago. I think the '60s were a little rough on him ;) . 1975, 42 years old:

Another one that's not necessarily dumb, but majorly misleading:
"San Diego Is Ticketing Homeowners For Parking In Their Driveway"

No, it isn't. It's ticketing them for parking on the sidewalk, the problem being that after widening of the street and sidewalks over the years, the driveways aren't long enough to park their cars in. From the pics on the TV segment, though, it looks like they could clean the junk out of their garages and park there. Or park sideways/angled as some do. But they aren't getting tickets for "parking in their driveway."

Good on SD. Cars blocking sidewalks really messes with people with strollers, the mobility limited, children on bikes, etc.

2 issues:
"Revealed"? Were the "multiple gunshot wounds" ever a mystery?
"Unexpectedly"? Are "multiple gunshot wounds" ever expected?
