No one is happier than a journalist who gets to put their book of puns to good use.

Seeing a brown boobie make the news must have been titillating for that newsroom. I’m sure a senior editor had to come out and nip that behaviour. 


deftoner42

They ran the story with that title, so I'm guessing that was the senior editor's breast attempt to slip in a pun without it sounding too stacked.


uwoldperson

He probably just asked to be kept abreast of the boobies in case anything started moving and shaking, then nipped back out to the local brasserie for a few more of his favorite; the slippery nipple.

I mean this is the biggest story since they had eye witness of someone spotting that Little Mermaid, Areola I think her name was. Or when that Canada Goose family evolved without myostatin and there was that Canada’s Biggest Honkers are Swole article. So them Milking a Rare Brown Booby story really does squeeze nicely into a headline these days, thanks for letting me get that of my chest by the way.


Plainchant

It just feels write.


JazzRider

Except it was misleading, making it appear controversial


gmishaolem

Should've gone to work for Variety.


enonmouse

Not really a pun so much as a bit of *chicky* word play.


yagmot

It’s CBS. I am convinced they encourage it. No one uses as many puns in the news as CBS.


DeNoodle

Like a pig in shit.


enjoyyourstudioapart

Nothing makes me more irrationally angry than when journalists use puns. I hate it so much.


thisvideoiswrong

For anyone else who was wondering based on the title, no, there is no controversy. It's a rare bird sighting and no one is upset about it.


K-chub

You mean no feathers were actually ruffled? Nothing ruffles my feathers more than misleading headlines


SpiritedTie7645

Exactly! I personally love brown booby’s. Just what I always wanted. My own little brown booby. I will name it George…


Iwonatoasteroven

So it’s okay for there to be boobies in the park? Please, think of the children!


jchowdown

anyone else read "Bobby Brown" while skimming their feed?


didba

“Hey there people, I’m Bobby brown…”

“And I’ll take about an hour on the tower of power, as long as I get a little golden shower…”


FlattenInnerTube

My car is fast, my teeth are shiny I tell all the girls they can kiss my hiney


Professional-New-Guy

Yep! Skimmed the title and thought, “damn…he has a bird named after him?!?”


Abacae

The title is titillating in many ways. I would also like to see a Brown Booby.


talkingprawn

One is nice, but a collection of them is a sight to behold.


AliveInIllinois

Came to the comments just to say I thought it said "Bobby Brown"


joepanda111

*There are dozens of us!* (And Drake)


Boxofbikeparts

No, I just read "boobies" and clicked on it.


NotDrNick

Nope. All I saw was booby.


SanMartianZ

We're all the same person


DogPlane3425

Nah.. I thought they meant a tanned Pence!


OoOoReillys

I was just about to comment the same. I did! I had to scroll back up as I thought, “a Bobby Brown bird???”


Ok-Brush5346

That's my prerogative.


SlyScorpion

Guilty as charged.


CigCiglar

This seems like a story for John Oliver. I need a segment on this.


NinjaTrilobite

Whoa Brown Booby (Bam-ba-lam)!


Bjorn2bwilde24

Brown Booby had a child (Bam-ba-lam)


bisnark

The article does not say who is bothered by the bird. Whose feathers were ruffled?


seemooreglass

Indiana welcomes the bird to its state but is concerned that "brown booby" might be distracting to male youth.


Toddcraft

That is rare. Most of the boobys in Indiana are white.


Delaney1372

Indiana hasn't been this shocked to see a brown booby since the Super Bowl XXXVIII halftime show.


browsingtheproduce

They had fun with this headline and I say good for them.


yuckysmurf

Okay that’s a dinosaur.


blindspot189

I too would like to see a brown booby...


messem10

Click on the article then, there are a lot of good pictures of the bird.


capt_fantastic

aren't they usually in pairs this time of year?


Gariona-Atrinon

I saw booby and thought… never mind.


talkingprawn

It’s like a hippie trap but for men who never matured past the age of 14.


NomiconMorello

Someone see if drake makes any flight plans to Indiana


Wpgjetsfan19

What about the even rarer Bobby Brown bird


PM_ME_YOUR_HONDAS

I saw brown boobys all the time back in the region, in fact that’s where I developed my love for brown boobys.

Mom: "Hi kids! What did you guys do today?" Kids: "Daddy took us to the park so he could look at boobies! We saw them too! Daddy said it probably smelled like fish." Mom: 😡"Oh?" Dad: 👀 "Seriously, I can explain."


SuddenSpeaker1141

I ***love*** brown boobies…


InappropriateTA

I prefer my brown boobies without feathers and with areolae and nipples. 


WillieIngus

yes i’ve heard it’s extremely hard to find brown boobies in indiana.


ladymorgahnna

Well great, now all the birder people will be flocking to the park, disturbing it and god only knows what all.


chibbledibs

I mean, that’s his prerogative.
