Welcome
We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!
The Rules
Posts must be:
- 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.
And that’s basically it!

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.
