A group of pranksters handed out more than 1.2 million fake New York Times newspapers mainly in New York City and Los Angeles on Wednesday with a front page story declaring "Iraq War Ends" and President George W. Bush has been indicted for treason.

AHAHJAHAHAAAHHAHA. Impressive to say the least.
 
Whats with the -se? To me that would suggest a connection with Sweden...
 
Keep up, that was in the news three days ago!

I think the -se stands for "special edition"

I got the link from one of my ev buddies. He said there was an ad in the paper:

One of the "ads" is from GM where they announce that they are bringing the EV1 back into production "because we have to. (TM)".

I couldn't find the ad. I think people may be making up their own little blurbs to add to the paper. On another site there was a mention of a weather forecast: "recent gloom passing ... strong leftward winds."

I liked the little video they made of peoples reactions to the paper:

I like to see people smile.

No matter how much of a silly dreamer he was.

Good night Opus.

Sweet dreams.
