I only woke up to comms after coming here. But anybody reading this headline knows it's fake. It's like the author said "who are we trying to fool, anyway? I'll just throw this out there and just pretend that I'm pretending it's real."
"Asteroid the size of 100 Barbie dolls to pass Earth on Thursday - NASA"

I don't live in Jerusalem and I've never seen a physical copy of the Jerusalem Post, but I've read enough to know they have serious articles and that they aren't the Babylon Bee or the Weekly World News. I expect some sex trafficking allegations to come out on Thursday.
It will be awhile before the Guardian or NYT gets this flippant, but in the meantime we are seeing the MSM's shell beginning to crack.
There is another possibility... with the Barbie movie coming out, there might be a reporter just stupid enough to think that headline would be "cute" and pop-culture-ish so as to draw attention to an otherwise meaningless occurrence.
In fact, I think the Barbie craze is because of the movie, and because promotional-minded people have become unoriginal.
Yeah, that's this author's shtick. If you click on the "asteroid" tag at the bottom of the article, you'll see a bunch of real doozies - narwhals, big macs, etc. The "New Jersey Pork Roll asteroid" hit in May this year ... right before Chris Christie announced his candidacy. As predicted by the article, nothing much happened. It could be that the author was signalling an upcoming happening in NJ, ... but maybe pork rolls were trending that week.
Lol... I didn't dig that deeply. But the pork roll could have been making fun of CC. And, maybe he's predicting that the Barbie movie is a bomb.
