I’ve invented a game called “Find The Most Unhinged Google Alert”.
This is a challenge to discover the phrase that will get you the craziest news stories from your monitoring service of choice.
The rules are simple: no proper names, no topics, nothing particularly targeted. A generic phrase descriptive of the most possible chaos, as complex as you like. I’m testing them on Google News.
High scores so far:
“been taken down”
“since been removed”
“was removed after”
“received an unusual”
“ordered to write an apology”
“an unusual sight”
“an unusual sentence”
“sign apologizing”
“but got stuck”
“eventually removed from”
“with a tranquilizer dart”
