The Funniest Newspaper Layout Fails of All Time (12 Photos)

Bad news is obviously never a good thing. But sometimes, whether by total oversight or pure comic genius, tragic headlines end up looking downright hilarious.

Take a look at these glorious print fails. They’re a brilliant reminder that poor layout design can instantly turn gloom into comedy gold. After all, who puts a photo of a cute dog right beneath the headline “Violent Rapist Caught”? Or pairs a photo of a guy grilling meat with a story about dead cats?







“Widow wins right to use dead husband's frozen sperm!”





“Violent rapist caught!”



“Two violent criminals caught on camera.”



If your magazine is called Where, you might want to think twice before framing the cover shot (Whore).



“Some sheep are brighter than you think.” Right below: “Chemical weapons used in Syria: first evidence.”



“Police search for pedophile.” Followed by: “Wouldn't you love to be a kid again?”



“Win the holiday of a lifetime.”



You really have to be careful when putting bald men on the front cover.



“Show her the real you!”



“Man gets 3 months in jail for child porn.”



“We were having sex constantly!”
