For British/Canadian/Australian/New Zealand papers, perhaps “So long, and thanks for all the fish” or just [this](http://www.yourprops.com/movieprops/original/yp515a2af850cc52.04641714/Day-of-the-Dead--The-Dead-Walk-Newspaper-3.jpg).

> IME, international headlines are typically rather **sedate**. As long as we’re talking respectable papers, and not rags like the _Sun_, it might be “Trump Wins in Shocking Outcome,” etc.

No, lets talk about papers like the Sun. Knowing their reader’s sensibilities and sensitivity to others scamming the system they are likely to go for either:

**“Serial groper moves in to publicly funded mansion SHOCK!”**

“Ballot winner withdraws “Rigged” claims”
