USA Today published a typo-laden headline that sounds like a bad spinoff where the Dutton family meets Lord of the Rings.
According to USA Today, some tourists discovered a baby elf, took it to the police station, and then it escaped … probably using magic.
Imagine how confusing the headline would have been had it not included the image of the giant non-baby elk.
Tourists during a recent visit to Yellowstone spotted a newborn elf and took it to a police station. The elf later escaped into the forest. https://t.co/Jwn7lxkqK9

They said ‘elf’ twice! LOL. Now that’s fake news.

The normal lies we get from USA Today aren’t near as entertaining as this one.
Was it a south pole elf?

A South Pole elf wouldn’t have left any survivors at the police station. Just saying.

Yeah, it’s like that.
Once you handle a newborn elf the elf parents will reject it and it will die alone. Sad!

This is just basic science.
I would have taken it straight to Santa. https://t.co/DBm5PYkfNr

Bwahaha!
The newborn elf escaped into the forest AFTER jabbing everyone and threatening to fire them.
Best typo of all time right here

It really was just perfect.
Santa wasn't having any of this tourist nonsense

It’s not a good idea to tick off Santa.

Is it really too much to ask, USA Today?
Beware of the elk on the shelf.

Yeah, IKEA doesn’t make elk-ready shelving units.

We have to agree. USA Today could have just deep-sixed this one and we wouldn’t have had any fun with it.
Oops! We meant “elk.” Although, we’d be really intrigued if tourists spotted a baby elf.

Too funny.
