It may be harder than you think. The news doesn't have to be a guessing game. It's time to turn to a crew you can trust. From the minds that brought you Childrens Hospital, watch Newsreaders, Thursday nights at MIDNIGHT on Adult Swim.

Can You Tell Real News Headlines From Satire?

  
# "Woman Doesn't Recognize Jay-Z During Subway Ride"  


And she was [never ever](http://www.newsday.com/entertainment/celebrities/woman-doesn-t-recognize-jay-z-during-subway-ride-1.4297981) allowed back into Brooklyn ever again. The end.

Totally real.

Real news or fake news?

  
# "Did Obama Eat At A Racist Ice-Cream Shop?"  


[Just one](http://newsone.com/611275/obamas-racist-black-power-ice-cream/) of the many bizarro Obama/ice-cream headlines. Other favorites include:  
"[President Obama Weirdly Eats Ice Cream Cone With A Spoon](http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2012/07/obama-eats-ice-cream-cone-with-spoon.html)," "[President Obama's Vast Ice-Cream Conspiracy](http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2010/07/president_obamas_vast_ice_crea.html)," and courtesy of those hard-nosed newshounds at USA Today, "[Obama Has Some Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream](http://content.usatoday.com/communities/theoval/post/2012/07/obama-has-some-mint-chocolate-chip/1#.UPhkc6Fdf4Q)"


It's real news.

Fake news or real news?

  
# "Romney: Instagram 'Must Be Banned'"  


Nothing but a goof from the folks at [The Daily Currant](http://dailycurrant.com/2012/10/22/romney-instagram-should-banned/). Everyone knows Mittens is all about Snapchat.

It's 100% satire.

  
# "New Cameras To Watch Cameras That Watch You"  


In other news: [a nation mourns](http://www.wtop.com//58/3034979/New-cameras-to-watch-cameras-that-watch-you) as the word "irony" officially loses all meaning.

It's really real.

  
# "Experts Warn That E-Cigarettes Are Not Cool"  


Just because this one comes courtesy of the snarky satirists at [The Daily Mash](http://www.thedailymash.co.uk/news/science-technology/experts-warn-that-e-cigarettes-are-not-cool-2013011656278) doesn't mean it's not _entirely_ true.

It's _so_ satire.

  
# "Environmental Ad Campaign Encourages Turning Shower Off After Showering"  


So what if this one comes from [The Onion](http://www.theonion.com/articles/environmental-ad-campaign-encourages-turning-showe,30442/)? It's still a pretty good idea.

It's super satirical.

  
# "Federal Employee Formally Reprimanded For Farting At Work"  


And there's a [detailed, five-page](http://www.globalpost.com/dispatches/globalpost-blogs/weird-wide-web/federal-employee-formally-reprimanded-farting-at-work) report about each and every incident. Someone somewhere is being endorsed for their Fart Transcribing abilities on LinkedIn.

It totally legit for real is real.

  
# "Canadian Snowmobiler Dies After Driving Under A Moose"  


Canada, go home -- you're [stereotyping yourself](http://myfox8.com/2013/01/13/canadian-snowmobiler-dies-after-driving-under-a-moose/).

It's really, really real.

  
# "Staten Island Teen With Mayonnaise Jar Full Of Marijuana Finds He Cannot Outrun A Horse"  


[Oddly enough](http://www.silive.com/eastshore/index.ssf/2011/03/staten_island_teen_with_mayonn.html), it's also the log-line for the next Harold & Kumar movie.

This happened in the real world that you live in.

  
# "Google To Start 'Real World' Target-Based Advertising"  


_[Yet](http://www.newsbiscuit.com/2013/01/12/google-start-real-world-target-based-advertising/)_.

100% full-blown satire.

  
# "One-Armed Man Arrested For Clapping"  


And [fined $200](http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/43690734/ns/world_news-christian_science_monitor/t/belarus-one-armed-man-arrested-clapping/#.UPgk66Fdf4Q), to boot. Please, leave your i-dont-want-to-live-on-this-planet-anymore.jpeg reaction macros in the comments below.

It's way real. What a world.

  
# "Lance Armstrong Confesses To Oprah That He Cannot Read"  


It's those rascally rapscallions at the [Channel 11 News](https://twitter.com/channel11news) Twitter feed again, makin' jokes and japes in 140 characters or less.

It's faker than fake.

  
# "Study: Unarmed Americans More Vulnerable To Flu"  


But satire site [News Mutiny](http://www.newsmutiny.com/pages/Flu-n-Guns.htm) would have you believe otherwise. And honestly, it's _kind_ of surprising that this argument hasn't popped up on someone's Blogspot yet.

It's the fakest. It's _Zero Fake Thirty_.

  
# "Man Pretending To Fall Off Bridge Actually Falls Off Bridge"  


"The 23-year-old eventually climbed to the ledge of the bridge, then looked at his friend and pretended to fall. '[He then in fact fell](http://usatoday30.usatoday.com/news/offbeat/2009-04-24-bridge_N.htm),' reads a press release from the Bloomington Police Department."

It's the realest of reals.

  
# "American Auto Industry Saved by Sex Van Sales"  


You have a _lot_ of choices for where to get your fake news, but there's only _one_ fake news crew you know you can trust. Watch [videos](http://video.adultswim.com/newsreaders/) of _Newsreaders_ right now, direct from your personal computation device.

That hasn't happened.
