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

Please also avoid duplicates.

You think most of these companies are bothering to do that? Seriously? Even after the recent Grok CSAM generation stuff?
