This is like something the Onion would write (http://mlb.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20080208&content_id=2368725&vkey=news_mlb&fext=.jsp&c_id=mlb)

Honestly, I thought it was about the date rape drug for a second. Then I realized I'm an idiot.

Maybe the family pets were in on it too

I wonder what would happen if someone actually did inject a cat with Human Growth Hormone

Nevermind, I would never want to see that

Ooh! Me! I Love Horgh! Lets talk about Horgh!

This is like something the Onion would write

There's a thread about this phenomenon over at Electrical - at least, in terms of the headlines.

"Waffle House brawl lands Kid Rock in jail (http://www.cnn.com/2007/SHOWBIZ/Music/10/21/kidrock.arrest.ap/index.html)" kind of says it all. This one (http://www.poughkeepsiejournal.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080208/NEWS05/80208042) took me a couple of reads before I understood what was odd about it. And significant Onion-esque gallows humour in "Pit bulls kill miniature horse donated to cancer-stricken boy in Pampa (http://www.dallasnews.com/sharedcontent/dws/news/texassouthwest/stories/DN-horsekilled_25tex.ART.State.Edition1.424d553.html)."

The world is a weird, weird place.

Holy SHIT! I wanna change my name to be like Mr. Butler... That's SO AWESOME.

Is it really sad that the first thing that hit my mind was "Wait, did they spell Calrissian wrong?"

Also, the boy and his pony in Pampa story is depressing on many levels.

Oh lordy, the comments on that Car chase article.

I'd quote them in here, but I don't wanna spoil the article for folks who haven't read it. Suffice to say, keep scrolling to the bottom.
