Are the headlines (and stories) getting weirder?

And what’s with those Canadians lately?

On sfgate.com today, you can see these three stories kind of buried in the 2nd tier of news.

CDC Assures there is no zombie apocalypse

Bear euthanized after eating Canadian murderer

Canada porn-actor murder suspect arrested

(these are all AP stories and AP has different headlines, the ones I’ve shown are the headlines on sfgate.com).

Just kinda makes me wonder … about … stuff.

Infotainment. Since media is no longer a semi-closed market, you’ve gotta catch eyes.

Another one just in.

Man beheads wife, throws body parts off roof.

Something in the air perhaps.

I blame Harper. (hee hee)

YES. I read the same headlines from the same source and thought the same thing. Weird-o-rama.

There does seem to be an upsurge in stories about bizarre and extreme behavior. Another forum I frequent has been calling it “Mutilation Week”. Another:

Man throws bits of his own intestines at police

Cops swear that people act crazier on a full moon. There were episodes of *Cops *filmed on full moon nights. They did seem more crazy than usual. The fat nekkid guy breaking into a store comes to mind. Took several cops to get him down because they kept losing their grip on his sweaty bod.

I wouldn’t even try to explain it. But the cops out there 7 days a week know it will be a wild shift on full moons.

I have been enjoying Buzzfeed for the past little while:Some Guy Turned His Dead Cat Into A Helicopter
Canadian Cannibal Porn Star On The Loose
Zombie-Proof Condos Sell Out In Kansas
Some Guy In Baltimore Ate Another Man’s Brain And Heart
Some Guy In New Jersey Threw His Own Intestines And Flesh At Police
Zombie Apocalypse Begins In Florida

The New York Post is an old hand at this sort of thing.

It’s a definite fact that 50% of all crime occurs within one week of a full moon.

Also half of all births. And 50% of all deaths.
