Thanks to the Virtual Stoa for drawing our attention to the Daily Mail automatic headline generator, now updated to include 2009 bogeymen.
Other valuable resources include the New Daily Mail Oncological Ontology Project, an ongoing quest to track the Daily Mail’s classification of inanimate objects into two types: those that cause cancer, and those that cure it, and the Postmodern article generator.
Best randomly generated headline which you can find and tell us about in the comments wins a prize.

If only Diana was still alive, this wouldn’t of happened.
My favourite so far:
HAVE THE P.C. BRIGADE GIVEN HOUSE PRICES CANCER?
Nice to see qwghlm’s updating it.
“IS THE E.U. MOLESTING THE COUNTRYSIDE?”
ARE THE FRENCH RUINING YOUR DAUGHTERS?
Ah, oui oui!
I also liked this one:
WILL LESBIANS MOLEST THE COUNTRYSIDE?
WILL THE LOONY LEFT RUIN HOUSE PRICES? is something i can see the Mail running
HAVE ASYLUM SEEKERS GIVEN THE MIDDLE CLASS CANCER?
and
ARE TEACHERS TURNING THE COUNTRYSIDE GAY?
Oh, and
WILL FEMINISM GIVE CLIFF RICHARD SWINE FLU?
Six of the best…latest generated headlines:
HAS CHANNEL 4 HAD SEX WITH YOUR MORTGAGE? – Kirsty, Phil and No 42 Acacia Avenue in orgy shocker?
HAS THE METRIC SYSTEM INFECTED YOUR MORTGAGE WITH AIDS? – Damn those EU bureaucrats!
IS JACQUI SMITH GIVING THE ROYAL FAMILY CANCER? – one for the oncology project?
IS THE BBC TURNING YOU GAY? – as opposed to the chemicals in plastic?
IS FILTH ON TELEVISION DEVALUING THE MEMORY OF DIANA? – more of an irony-free Express headline, that one
COULD CANCER DEVALUE BRITAIN’S SWANS?
“ARE GYPSIES TURNING THE MIDDLE CLASS GAY?”
Yes, undoubtedly so. Its the bandana you see.
IS FEMINISM SPONGING OFF THE QUEEN?
ARE TEACHERS GIVING YOUR DAUGHTERS AIDS?
I vote for: Is the EU Molesting the Countryside?
IS THE EURO HAVING SEX WITH THE MIDDLE CLASS?
WILL THE GERMANS GIVE THE ROYAL FAMILY CANCER?
I think I’ve seen both of these as Mail headlines.
ARE PLASTIC TOYS MAKING OUR CHILDREN GAY?
Oh, no, wait. That one isn’t from the generator…
The best I’ve seen so far:
COULD FERAL CHILDREN HAVE SEX WITH BRITAIN’S SWANS?
Maybe not the kind of investigative journalism we need.
HAVE THE FRENCH GIVEN YOUR DAUGHTERS DIABETES?
I doubt it.
HAS BRUSSELS BURGLED BRITISH JUSTICE?
I like the alliteration, which I can only assume was an accident.
IS CANCER GIVING DRIVERS CANCER?
Of course not, that’s preposterous!
HAS JACQUI SMITH MADE YOU IMPOTENT?
If so, you’re not alone.
I like:
Could political correctness scrounge off homeowners?
Is the internet taxing your children?
Is the internet making the memory of Diana obese?
but the most disturbing one I found was:
Will Jacqui Smith impregnate the British people?
COULD GAYS MAKE THE MIDDLE CLASS IMPOTENT?
Today’s generated headlines from the news cyber-foundry:
HAS FACEBOOK TURNED THE MEMORY OF DIANA GAY? – The Daily Mail blames Eltion John for ‘poofterizing taxpayers’ thoughts of the Queen of Hearts’.
HAVE CHAVS MOLESTED BRITISH JUSTICE? – ”Typical! ZaNuLieBore won’t put scrotes on Sex Offenders Register’ (from comment thread)
COULD NEW LABOUR HAVE SEX WITH TAXPAYERS’ MONEY? – Not Jacqui Smith’s husband again, surely?
IS JACQUI SMITH HAVING SEX WITH BRITISH JUSTICE? – Yep, it must be him again: The Mail is pushing hard (oo-eer!) with this one; they’ve even said COULD NEW LABOUR IMPREGNATE YOUR PETS?, which is maybe where Smith’s lawyers will have to step in.
COULD THE MMR JAB INFECT BRITISH SOVEREIGNTY WITH AIDS?
or
COULD MUSLIMS GIVE CLIFF RICHARD SWINE FLU?
Only problem with copying and pasting anything DM-related is that it violates LibCon’s “Misogynist, racist, homophobic and xenophobic comments will be deleted” policy.
