The Rules

Links to news stories from...
...credible sources, with...
...their original headlines, that...
...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

Yeah, but usually it's American soldiers......ah, you didn't think I'd counter a dark joke with a vietnam dark joke!

Usually, but sometimes it's a woman in a pond.

I don't get this reference. I didn't find any info on Marilyn Monroe in a pond, BUT to my surprise/confusion I found MULTIPLE websites selling rubber ducks, and inflatable ducks made in the image of Marilyn Monroe as a yellow duckie. Selling anywhere from $5, to $40. To which that just adds MORE questions....

What am I missing here?

I'm not sure how I'd never heard of this. It's always disappointing how the rich and powerful receive different legal treatment than us regular folk.
