Love, Land Taken; Sky Next
Apr. 1st, 2007 02:46 amSome 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.)
