Huffington Post Sinks Even Lower

It's hard to even spoof the Huffington Post. The online website must surely be staffed by insane, rabid chimpanzees who have been given steroids, are deprived of sleep and have had their scruples removed. (I personally worked directly under their Features Editor years ago and he never had any scruples back then, so it's no surprise.)

Every day they manage to sink to a new low. They take a perfectly normal thing--a picture, a situation--and attach some malicious, salacious or shocking headline to it just to get you to click and read the story, and it turns out to be nothing! Just some ordinary fluff about a perfectly boring thing that happened to your average Joe. Often it's less than nothing: it's noth. Here are some examples of how the sick and twisted Huffington Posters would caption the following normal photos to grab your attention:
