I love the point-counterpoint ones:
Dental Hygenist: God, my computer hates me!
Computer: God, I hate that fucking bitch!
College Student: Rhodesia has a rich, vibrant culture and history.
Rhodesian: Please get me out of this hell-hole.
Pro-Choice Activist: The government must keep out of my vagina!
Chairman, Joint Chiefs: We must deploy troops to her vagina immediately!
And my favorite:
Secretary: Sexual harrassment in the work place must stop!
Boss: Gee, I love the way your tits bounce when you type...

mine was the one where the UN created a country called Ethnikclashistan and send every pissed off oppressed ethnic group to live there.

I love that one with that screenshot from "The Abyss" with the huge wave of water about to hit that bridge. I forgot what it was about though.
Another one I like is the one where Australia crosses half-way across the world and nobody cares!

My all time favourite is "Archaeologists discover ancient race of Skeleton people"
Apparently the traded the food grown with the farming implements in their village for the tattered rags that they seemed to enjoy wearing.
I also liked "Cambodia to use Skulls as currency", but that was one of the "In history" ones so it's no longer there.
But for best title I like "AT&T Cost-Cutting Measure Leaves 1500 Dead"

I'm a fan of the horoscopes...

Your natural stubbornness comes in handy when your opponent's arguments turn out to be supported by hard facts and credible evidence.

Heh. I've always liked the one that first introduced me to The Onion, "Christian Right Lobbies to Overturn Second Law of Thermodynamics."

I like alot of the articles on The Onion, but for now this one sticks out in my mind :
Congress Threatens to Leave DC Unless New Capitol is Built
Not because of the article itself mind you, but because it got taken up by a
Chinese newspaper.
