honestly that was the only "we tracked down this famous person from a stock photo" article that wasn't entertaining

I'm a little annoyed the photo doesn't actually depict a crate BX-50, which would have been visually funnier as well as accurate

But the doll glimpsed in the photo is clearly inflatable, so why did it come in such a big box?

I've tried convincing myself that the ?fbclid=IwAR0p8Fy7K5p0JjVbPlUBn9UBKckRCmy06mhaTzGnTGWQOQSC__aF_HXq1nA's are part of the Clickhole joke.

definitely seems like a subtle sign of decline in quality. Reading the headlines in url form used to be part of the fun

sorry if that was a joke itself, but just in case: FB adds those to outbound links, Clickhole has no control over it
― rob, Friday, 11 November 2022 21:34 (one year ago) link
Now I'm wondering if rob is part of the joke.

Richard D. Zanuck: You can’t make a shark movie without a shark, and we were running into a lot of dead ends because when word got out that we were making a movie that was going to make sharks look like dicks, no one wanted to lend us their sharks.

Most of the older links upthread seem to be broken. Probably can find the articles searching but I liked having this thread as an archive.

Questions of ongoing relevance or humo aside, just in case anyone isn't taking a peek at their homepage, i think JoeStork was initially referring to these being the top 4 headlines at the time:
