If there’s one reason why young people don’t keep up with current events, it’s because of boring news headlines accompanied by dull matching photographs. Over the weekend, I made an amazing discovery. If you alter the picture, the headline becomes much more enticing. Below are some examples linking to actual stories.

Well done! Back when they were all the rage in 2002, I had a purple Juicy outfit (hoodie with matching stretchy pants). Whenever I wore it, I made my husband call me Grimace….ha!!
Posted by RadioSilencer | November 20, 2012, 10:50 pmI think I had the same outfit….
Posted by Tim Kochenderfer | November 21, 2012, 1:04 amHar!! THAT would be awesome.
Posted by RadioSilencer | November 21, 2012, 7:08 pmPoor Hostess, or rather, the poor hostess (?) I would absolutely read more articles with images that provocative! How can I turn a page away from a Transformer? It’s just an electric experience! Well done!
Posted by imaconstitutionalist | November 20, 2012, 7:19 pmThank you. I had hoped the 1980’s cassette deck Soundwave would be the most effective Transformer
Posted by Tim Kochenderfer | November 20, 2012, 8:02 pmThank you for brightening up my Tuesday! (arguably the worst day of the week)
Posted by The Skinny Jeans and Starbucks Chronicles | November 20, 2012, 8:17 amGlad I could help. And there’s no argument about it – Tuesday sucks!
Posted by Tim Kochenderfer | November 20, 2012, 3:46 pmFirst off, I cannot pass up a reference to Grimace; the Purple Gentleman has a certain level of moxy that is on short supply these days. Secondly, I found it pretty radical (throwback phrase of the day) that I had actually read each of the stories that you referenced in your post. The pictures did make them better. Bravo my friend. Bravo.
Posted by The Hound Online | November 20, 2012, 4:24 amThank you. And I agree with you about Grimace. His presence is missed on television.
