  1. Links to news stories from...
  2. ...credible sources, with...
  3. ...their original headlines, that...
  4. ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Please also avoid duplicates.

No that’s not right - you gotta lose the torch and make it look like he’s “sending his heart out to the world”

Edit: also, holy censorship, Batman :O that is wild.

replacing it with a giant statue of Trump.

They'd probably melt it down instead, just to avoid giving it back.

A giant dump would also fit to the current timeline.
