Rejected Onion headlines
By Rob Bloom

Written for (and rejected by) The Onion

So each week I submit 25 headlines to the folks at The Onion. Sometimes the headlines move on to fame and fortune. Other times however, they experience a much different, much less glamorous, outcome: Rejection Hell. But before these bad boys embark on an eternity of anonymity, I've decided to give them a proper sendoff. With that, here's a sampling of some headlines that didn't make the cut.

And because the world of humor writing is a Rejection Paradise, this list will be updated on a regular basis. Check back often and read what you won't read in The Onion.
