The only funny economics headline I think I've seen was an HSBC research note about a General Election being called in Turkey for late December with potentially large implications for the economic direction of the country. The headline?
Turkey votes for Christmas.
Even that doesn't have them rolling in the aisles. It was a good bit of research as it turned out. They predicted great things for the Turkish economy that seem to have been true for the most part.0 -

It died out in the early dinosaur era. It was found that dinosaurs could provide a more dynamic news experience than your average Teletext page.0
