1    22 Tweets About Trying To Lose Weight That Are Funny Because They’re True

“I thought we were friends, but I see that you weigh less than me now”

-The information-gap that this headline creates is that it makes it misleading to the fact that you think you’re going to read crazy tweets on how to lose weight, when in fact it is not that at all.  It is more about tweets that people post on wanting to lose weight but go eat a donut instead.  This is relateable to my twitter feed because my friends and I are always about working out and eating healthy, but there is a competitive component as to who can lose the weight they want to lose first and who won’t fall off the exercise bandwagon.

2.     Heidi Montag Revealed 22 Shocking Secrets About “The Hills”

“The last time I spoke to Lauren was a few years ago. We kind of were talking a little and then we both were kind of like, ‘We’re not friends.’ It’s kind of awkward.”

-The information-gap that this particular headline creates is the question of, what else could come out about “The Hills”?  It is hard to believe Heidi Montag because she did create quite a stir, especially with ones that follow that whole drama story.  However, this right away grabs my attention, along with anyone in my generation who took interest in watching “The Hills”, because it was such a scandalous series that led to a lot of drama after the series was complete.

3.     13 Karaoke Songs For People With No Musical Ability

“Must love air guitar”

-The information-gap that this particular headline creates is simply learning what the songs are and if it includes air guitar, does that mean the article is mainly rock songs?  Anyone who cannot sing, or even can, can relate to this BuzzFeed because who doesn’t sing in the car?  Sure enough though, majority of the songs included rock songs, so including “air guitar” in the sub-headline was a dead giveaway.
