Bad news is bad. Obviously. But sometimes bad news can be unintentionally hilarious.

Take a look at these brilliant newspaper and magazine fails for example. Compiled by Bored Panda, the list serves as a helpful reminder of why something as simple as a layout could turn even the saddest stories into something you can't help but laugh about. After all, who puts a picture of a dog beside a headline relating to a violent sex offender? Or a picture of a man grilling meat beside a headline about dead cats? Either these publications have a twisted sense of humor, or they need to make their interviews harder when hiring for a layout editor...

    If you can't notice 25K pedos in your house, you're either clueless or have a really big house.

    Seems to me, that mostly the Britain's mess up something in the layout of their newspapers/headlines... maybe it's a strange kind of British humor and they do all that stuff on purpose. We'll never know.
