"Iraq War Ends" - New York Times

Sweet prank carried out by The Yes Men (The Yes Men website here). A fake edition of the New York Times announcing, among other things, the end of the Iraq War. Called a "special edition", they made up a whole 14-page paper and they even created an imitation New York Times webpage for it (note the real NYT website is here. Amazing resemblance!). They handed out 1000's of copies on Wednesday (although they postdated it July 4, 2009) in honour of the new President elect and burgeoning hope.

p.s. In other fake news: Stephen Colbert wins U.S. federal election...Only to have it snatched away...
