The Headline Game is as easy as it sounds; you only have to make a headline. The news event you make up yourself as well. Only real rule is (try to) be funny,

Downing Street: "Torture has no place in Britain."

MTV to stop showing rap videos.

Ambiguously. Hope this does not offend anyone.

Sorry to complain, but isn't the point of headline games to actually use real headlines?

I am trying to use real headlines, of my own with meaning. Suggesting improvements if mine sound unusual may help.
