"All The News We HOPE to Print"

Political satire at its best....What a shock it must have been to see the NY Times headline, Iraq War Ends,Troops to Return Immediately.

The Yes Men swapped over a million real NY Times covers with their own seamless reproductions of the paper with articles like Court Indicts Bush On High Treason Charge, Nation Sets its Sites on Building a Sane Economy, and National Health Insurance Act Passes. There's even a matching spoof of the "NY Times" website. I'm so impressed with this project's scope, grassroots organization and message—it's funny and ironic and in perfect timing with Obama's presidency. In place of the Time's headline "all the news thats fit to print" they write "all the news we hope to print". if only it were true...
