Oh my goodness…this is so funny. Maybe we should consider the existance of vampires and zombies. What do you think?

Clever women can observe the IQ of a woman by the headline of her newspaper.

This headline is a proof that the readers of this paper do not care about their intellect at all.

This is photoshopped. The text is too straight, its color is too uniform, and it’s slightly tilted from how the surrounding lines are oriented.

Reese and Pierre: I doubt that the picture is photoshopped. These headline mistakes happen all the time. There are even books with collections of bad headlines.

Uh, no, it’s definitely a Photoshop. I can tell from the pixels, and from seeing quite a few shops in my time. Note how the paper/photo grain is blurred behind the headline, where he/she cleared away the old headline. Also notice how the new headline is itself blurred and in an inconsistent perspective with the rest of the photo. Definitely 100% a Photoshop.

That said, I still laughed. :)

Shopped or not, it is pretty much the only instance in which laughing about a shooting spree is socially acceptable:)

Add my vote to the list who say this is a fake. Sure there are a lot of dumb headlines out there, but this one is just so obviously a photoshop – and a poor job at that.

I used to work as a newspaper reporter. Sometimes you write a headline and hope that it gets past the editor. Sometimes an editor just wants to shake things up a little and have some fun.

And if it’s not real, eh, it still made me smile!

Sometimes you just have to be clear. I mean, not everyone remains dead. Several who had died did not “remain dead”, though all but one of them died again. Lazarus, for example, dead for four days did not “remain dead”. “Why is it thought incredible by any of you that God raises the dead?” (Acts 26:8). Jesus Christ did not remain dead but will remain alive forever. He is the guarantee that those who love him will not “remain dead”. In fact, he declared, “Do not marvel at this, for an hour is coming when all who are in the tombs will hear his voice and come out, those who have done good to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil to the resurrection of judgment” (John 5:28-29). So in the final analysis, none of us will “remain dead”.
