Love, Land Taken; Sky Next

[tzikeh]

Some of you may remember teevee.org's April Fools' page from last year: a functioning parody wiki called teeveepedia (which is *still* functioning, and constantly updated).

Well, they have once again mocked up a terrific April Fools' site, this one à la The New York Times. As per usual, they like to combine multiple show references into single jokes. For example:

A Stain on Miami's Image
By CARL KOLCHAK 1 hour ago
Miami's crime scene investigators are
stunned by a series of killings, including
the killings of serial killers....

On Two Continents, A Paper Partnership Unfolds
By STEPHEN GERVAIS 9 minutes ago
Two paper supply companies, one in
Britain and one in the U.S., are
slated to merge....

Oh, and--keep your eyes on the "advertising".

(BTW, the teevee.org's April Fools' archives can be found here.)

The newspaper is hilarious ---love the ads.

Thanks for the link. I'm sharing it with my media students.

It's the ads that are killing me. Oceanic Air, Pacific Princess, Sitwell Homes. And I thought nothing could top last year.

That is AWESOME! The paper partnership is just genius although I would expect it from Stephen and Ricky. So hilarious.
