HEADLINE TRUTH OR TRASH

"Man Selling Homes Made of Balloons!"
Trash! It was all going great until he tried to hang a picture in the model home and put a nail into a wall.

"Sales of Cassette Tapes Going Through the Roof!"
Truth! Believe it or not, cassette tapes are now being sold as new releases on Amazon - and they cost even more than vinyl. In July this year, the Official Charts Company revealed that sales for the first half of 2018 were up 90% year-on-year!

"Paul McCartney Recording a New Album in Pig Latin!"
Trash! O-nay Ay-way.

"Mental Health Clinic Opens in Walmart!"
Truth! In Carrollton, Texas. People can walk in, call or make an appointment online to see a licensed mental health professional about problems such as anxiety, depression, grief, relationship troubles or the stresses of everyday living. Or maybe why they chose that particular outfit to come to Walmart.

"Blind Man Sues Playboy Because He Can't Access Their Website!"
Truth! Donald Nixon is legally blind - and he wants access to the Playboy website. No - it's not about the dirty pictures, it's about the fact that Playboy.com is not compatible with screen-reading software that translates text into braille or recites it using a speech synthesizer. Nixon's suit claims Playboy is in violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act.

"Study Says Home is the Most Dangerous Place a Woman Can Be!"
Truth! Out of an estimated 87,000 women killed last year, some 58 percent - or close to 50,000 - were killed by partners or family members at home. More than a third of the women intentionally killed in 2017 were killed by a current or former partner, and 137 women are killed by family members every day, according to the new report from the UN.

"Domino's Develops Drone Pizza Boxes that Deliver Themselves!"
Trash! Not until they figure out a way to equip them with lasers for the lousy tippers.
