Headline Meme?

So, I do often post about my favorite kind of story, one where after reading the headline you don't really need to read the story itself.

The question is, is this one such story?

Wyoming Man Found with 30 Eyeballs in His Anal Cavity

I mean....maybe you don't need to read more.  Because you have the basic facts.  On the other hand, I think that most people would at that point want more information. 

Or less.  Thanks to JB for the find...

  1. In other words, is there more than meets the eye?

  2. I thought maybe the article was about Robert Reich, but I think he only has the two.

  3. I was wondering what it might look like to see a man stuffing 30 cow eyeballs up his ass. Then, I looked at the right margin of the blog.

  4. Was his plan to go home and retrieve the eyeballs through a bowel moovement?

    Thank you. I'll be here all week.

  5. Yes. I definitely need to either know more or less about this story. You might say the headline provides an unstable amount of information.

    Funny story, I already ran across this headline once this week while searching for eyeball dissection kits (job hazard, I guess?). I have so far been unsuccessful in my attempts to purge the memory of this headline from my own eyeballs.

  6. Unfortunately, or fortunately, the story is a hoax.
