A New Jersey newspaper declared “We’re All Gonna Die” in a front-page headline, prompting mockery from other media members on social media Tuesday.

The headline was drafted by The Trentonian, a daily newspaper that covers Trenton, New Jersey’s capital.

{mosads}The story that followed the attention-grabbing headline was from The Associated Press and focused on falling life expectancy rates in the United States.

Reaction to the headline on Twitter ranged from mockery to amusement on Tuesday.

That is a headline written by people who have totally given up.
