Welcome
We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!
The Rules
Posts must be:
- Links to news stories from...
- ...credible sources, with...
- ...their original headlines, that...
- ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”
Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.
And that’s basically it!

It's not "famous" that should be in inverted commas, but "artist".
We call those quotation marks.
But yes.
Aren't inverted commas also a phrase for that? Or is that the joke.
Yeah. It's from the old printing press times when they used the same pieces of type for commas and quote marks, just rotated 360 degrees.
Rotated 180 degrees.
Ah, yes
