2016 has been a notable one for many reasons, but this year in particular has had its fair share of headlines that made our jaws drop to the ground. Some of our favorite celebrities were not immune to the epidemic - from Brad Pitt & Angelina Jolie's shocking divorce to Kim Kardashian's frightening robbery in Paris, and even Ryan Lochte's questionable acts at the Rio Olympics, the stories that made headlines in this year were unforgettable to say the least.

In order to recreate the same wow, we have made a generator game that will connect your first name, last name, and date of birth to an epic headline for 2016.
