The Headline Game – 6/6/07

Real life or parody? Sometimes, I can’t tell the difference anymore. That’s when it’s time for the Headline Game.

Below are two headlines from CNN.com and two headlines from The Onion. Can you spot which are the real headlines and which are the fakes?

1. Audience calls candidates back on stage for debate encore
2. Lightning zaps Giuliani’s abortion answer
3. Nation hoping for a windy Flag Day
4. Winnie Mandela barred from Canada

Note: CNN headlines taken from front page of CNN.com; headline of actual story may differ. Capitalization on the Onion headlines changed to match the style of CNN.

Answers: Story 1, Story 2, Story 3, Story 4

How did you do?
