This headline could really use the word "hurricane" in it. I had no idea what Otis or Acapulco were, and my initial guess was wildly off: some sort of space probe experienced a catastrophic failure on the way to an asteroid.
- IRP 3y agoI don't know why, I first thought of an airplane. Yeah, headlining is an art...

- trinsic2 3y agoExact. Same. Guess. on my end.
- ASalazarMX 3y agoI'm all for naming an asteroid "Acapulco", though.
- aifooh7Keew6xoo 3y agoA gold-bearing asteroid, naturally.
- crdrost 3y agoOtis is the name of one of the Fat Bear Week audience favorites so that was where my first thoughts went but I was very surprised to imagine an “Acapulco, Alaska” near where he lives.
- poink 3y agoIn fairness, anyone who didn't immediately recognize 128 Grazer as the fattest bear is probably frequently confused :P
- phreeza 3y agoI somehow thought it was an obscure motorcycle brand, that broke down on a long road trip in Mexico.
- wyatt_dolores 3y agoFirst thought: Otis the dog was improperly put into the some kind of vacuum hold on a flight to Acapulco and burst wide open.
- anymouse123456 3y agoSame.
- dvh 3y agoThis tells me you don't know Jean-Paul Belmondo's movie The Man from Acapulco. Seriously watch that movie.
- jacquesm 3y agoOne of my favorite actors from the non-Hollywood movies. Oh, and that movie is originally titled 'Le Magnifique' to help searching for it.
- midasuni 3y agoI was thinking elevators
- rob74 3y agoI know what Acapulco is, but when reading "Otis" I first think of elevators, which very rarely explode...
- jimmaswell 3y agoMy first thought is always the pug dog from Milo & Otis.
- HeyLaughingBoy 3y agoOne thing that they have in common with nice girls. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0093617/ https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0093617/
- fsckboy 3y agoIf I heard that Otis exploded after visiting Acapulco, I wouldn't really consider that unexpected, but admittedly that's only based on personal anecdata.
- koolba 3y agoIt’s unexpected on the way back, not on the way there.
- pmontra 3y agoI guessed the correct Acapulco then hypothesized that Otis was something being transported by truck to there. I even thought that Cape Canaveral or a lab like CERN would be a more likely destination for dangerous things that people like us would care about.
- ecolonsmak 3y agoI assumed Otis was a indy dev library project and Acapulco to be a code name for a upcoming release.
- dools 3y agoI thought Otis was half of the adorable Milo and Otis duo and they were having another zany adventure in a 2023 reboot!
- djaro 3y ago"Otis" was also the name of a Kanye West/JayZ song so I was thinking maybe it had something to do with that??
- femtozer 3y agoThis song was a tribute to Otis Redding. My first thought was that the article was about him lol.
- kiicia 3y agoI was sure it was some kind of specific machine or package that was destroyed by catastrophic decompression caused by transport mode.
- Infernal 3y agoI assumed it was a small sailboat or similar, on the basis that if it was a cruise liner or large container ship, I would’ve heard about it already
- sidibe 3y agoFrom the url it seems the target audience for this blog would already know
- mizzao 3y agoI imagined that a prototype device of some sort that was being shipped to Acapulco pulverized the truck or ship that was transporting it
