Yes
While surfing the net (do people still say that?), I have stumbled across this little gem and thought it has to win the award for the most pointless news article ever: http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/meet-human-buoy-who-can-5027903

This had brought the meaning of a "slow news day" to a completely whole new level, just exactly how much "journalists" do get paid to issue stuff like this.

Anyway, I challenge you to find something even more mundane than this.

...you tried it twice?

No, not working for me either.
 
Try it now. :D

Maybe the article is so dull it doesn't want to be loaded up.

Admittedly these are not current news items,
but they are equally as riveting :D

I looked at that very same page earlier today. I love the old man whos been posting his letteres in the dog poo bin, and the lady waiting with her shopping after her bus failed to turn up :D
 
My face is red raw with all the face palming... Please, no more!

Hi Chris! Yes, the local ones really are the best (or worst) ones. One of our local papers (which shall remain nameless) had a front page headline about an out of date bagel, it became the butt of jokes for weeks afterwards thanks to the social media effect.
 
its a Poonado.....:puke:

Four of us looked at each other with confusion, then back at the whale, expecting that any second its call from nature would come to an end.

'Instead, the whale bobbed up and down, spun in circles and waved the poo in every direction for several minutes while we just sat back and watched.

'The water was crystal clear, initially, and was the most idyllic Caribbean blue water that you could imagine.

'After a few waves of faeces were released and stirred vigorously by the whale, the water was like chocolate milk, I couldn't see my hand when I held it in front of my face.

'I had poop in my eyes, mouth, wetsuit, everywhere and I was soaked in it from head to toe. But, after leaving the cloud, it quickly washed away, and didn't leave a smell on us.

'I did take an extra long shower once I returned to shore later that day, just in case.

That would have really f***ed them :D

Would help explain why the sea's so salty too...

Well pre internet, the local paper once ran the front page headline "Duck run over in Crediton High Street!"
