I'm sure it's only called a 'Xmas tree' because that's what the online store told them would appear on their credit card statement.

It's not a funny story per se, but more funny in the way it has been presented - Bachelor-Gate. The short version is that the bachelor on the latest season of "The Bachelor" proposed to the girl who "won" the show, but then called the engagement off within weeks and started a relationship with one of the other girls from the show. The network that broadcast the programme has tried to make it out as a scandal on the same scale as the Clinton-Lewinsky affair, while rival networks have tried to make it out as an intentional deception akin to Watergate. So now prime-time commercial news outlets have been engaging in an escalating ratings war over the show, oblivious to how moronic they come across.

News on Russian TV: "Garry's Mod is created by ISIS!"
Tweet from Garry Newman (founder of GMod): LINK
---Video translation below. I apologize for my English.---
Reporter1: -"In reality, more and more terrorist accomplices appear all around the world. The problem is real and the scale is frightening, discussing this in Europe and over the ocean. The rebels perfectly control the technique of recruiting and can act on mentality. Especially on weak minds of children, this is the main danger. Computer games with themes about hostage executions in front of the camera for example are very popular on the Internet. NTV Reporter Konstantin Galdensvieg about how three American schoolgirls went to war in Syria."
Reporter2: -"This is how easy it is, if you are sick of hamburgers, cola and other western values, join in the rows of Islamic warriors and prove that you will kill all infidels."
"Terrorists": -"This is a message to all of the American pigs. We've had enough of your democracy and human rights."
Reporter2: -"Probably with this children game, one of the tenths released on ISIS money, three schoolgirls from the American Denver started real jihad. They changed the school in the next block to a war in Syria. Two sister from the Somali family and their friend with Sudanese roots told their parents that they went to a library, secretly took their passports and two thousand dollars. The youngest of them is fifteen years old. When the parent started searching for them, the trio was already on their way to Frankfurt, where a local recruiter was waiting for them and a flight to Turkey."

I think @Rage Racer posted that; weren't they saying it was an ISIS game when it wasn't?

Ah, he posted it in the other thread. I didn't know that.
Yeah, they said that the game was made by ISIS.
I also like how sometimes the reporters put music from Silent Hill, Call of Duty and maybe other games in their reports.

Man on Subway diet robs store after failing to lose weight
A US man has been arrested after he allegedly robbed a Subway store at gunpoint because he didn't lose any weight by eating their sandwiches.
Zachary Raphael Torrance told police he was on the Subway diet but it hadn't worked and so did what any normal person would do – demanded a refund by robbing several stores.
Torrance managed to rob four stores before he was eventually caught by a custumer who recognised his bright orange shoes from CCTV footage that appeared online.
"He (Torrance) told the detective he had been on the Subway diet and it had not worked for him and he felt like he wanted his money back," Alabama police chief Chuck Hagler told Georgia Newsday.
"The detective felt like he was being serious."
Torrance was eventually arrested at a Walmart where he was allegedly buying a gun holster.
He's currently being held on a $286,797 bond.

Funny thing is he might just lose weight by going to jail so in away the subway diet did work.

Young girl catches 'Tigger' having sex in Dawlish town toilet
A WORRIED mum called the police after her daughter caught 'Tigger' having sex in a toilet.
The young girl caught a man in fancy dress having "full-blown sex" in the public loo of a Devon town.
The mum posted on the Dawlish Neighbourhood Police Facebook page after the incident at the Barton Hill toilets in the town.
She wrote that her daughter took her own young child to the toilets.
"There was a couple in the baby changing room having full blown sex," she said.
"They slammed the door in my granddaughter's face and caught her hand in the door resulting in bruising to her fingers.
"This is a disgusting act and in a baby changing room.
"They were about 30ish, the man had a Tigger outfit on, the woman was undressed.
"It's not very nice for a three-year-old child."
