Please rename. The Supreme Court reviews free-speech issues once a month. The headline should go to the nub of the issue (and give the reader a hint about the joke about to be told).
Also, it is a problem with my UnNewses (especially when they show up on the Front Page) that my second paragraph is often a factual review, to give the reader some context with which to understand the joke. But it is worse that, in this UnNews, that is the first paragraph. I read a long way before seeing the Funny. In my opinion, your lede should be flat-out outrageous. After you have hooked the reader, step back and explain why the outrageous news makes perfect sense in context. Spıke Ѧ 15:49 18-Jan-13
- I couldn't think of a good title for this one. If you have a better idea, please rename it.
- Regarding the long intro, I did trim it back some. The article does reveal the punchline rather bluntly, so I think a deadpan entry is appropriate. --Mn-z 16:00, January 18, 2013 (UTC)
