Last week we challenged you guys to come up with a better, tabloid-style, headline for the crazy ass story of the two wily rowdies who dragged their buddy's corpse down to the check cashing place right here in the shadow of Comedy Central Headquarters. Here's the best of the bunch!

Dead Man Banking - Chad Brown
Check Cashing Attempt Foiled Due to Expiration of Owner - Chad Brown

Beat This Headline! Headline Writing Challenge!

January 11, 2008 AT 11:23AM | Comments (17)

Weekendbernies1 One of the great things about working up here next to the lovely Hell's Kitchen neighborhood of New York, besides the remarkable smell, is that sometimes literally the craziest things in the world happen every now and again RIGHT IN OUR BACKYARD. All week, pretty much the entire city of New York has been laughing at a news story where two old school ruffians took the corpse of their buddy, Weekend At Bernie's style, down to the check cashing joint to try to get one last score on his social security check. Amazing. But the one thing that's consistently disappointing has been the headlines in the tabloids (and, of course, the Paper Of Record). Check'em out:

NY Post: Does A Body Good
NY Times: Corpse Wheeled to Check-Cashing Store Leads to 2 Arrests
NY Daily News: Two in Hell's Kitchen bring dead man on trip to cash his Social Security check

Boring, right? So I asked around the office and we came up with some alternate headlines:


Corpse Cashing Service
The Dumb Leading the Dead
Pay Day of the Dead
Ashes to Ashes, Checks to Cash
Of Corpse He's Our Friend!
The Corpse Ride
Stiffed
Til Death Do Us Deposit

Think you can do better? Leave it in the comments, and we'll announce the best next Friday!
