Offbeat Fridays – The thread where offbeat headlines become front page news

Tildes is a very serious site, where we discuss very serious matters like christmas, sermons and 60 minutes. Tags culled from the highest voted topics from the last seven days, if anyone was inquisitive.

But one of my favourite tags happens to be offbeat! Taking its original inspiration from Sir Nils Olav III, this thread is looking for any far-fetched offbeat stories lurking in the newspapers. It may not deserve its own post, but it deserves a wider audience!

    Blank canvas or tone-deaf? Pantone's white Colour of the Year sparks backlash

    This year, Pantone has chosen white as its colour of the year.

    More specifically, Cloud Dancer - a white described as "lofty" and "billowy" that "serves as a symbol of calming influence in a society rediscovering the value of quiet reflection".

    It is the first time white has been chosen as the colour of the year, and it has raised more than a few eyebrows.
