This thread is much funnier if you read it in your "Mario" voice.

I read it in the Jar Jar voice and got furious.

Say what? What the hell is that fake sounding organization? Oh, it is a fake sounding non-organization.

traffic altercation

His car and the old lady's car got in a fight???

both of his legs were visibly broken and not life threatening

How about "both of his legs were visibly broken and the injuries are not life threatening?"


I wrote an entire fake AP story once on SunSpot about that character Room 222. It was about how he lived as a squatter in the sub-basement of Walt Whitman High School out in LA and that he had hacked into the school's network to post on Sunspot. IIRC I included some quotes from Pete Dixon and Principal Kaufman. Uh huh, you older folks know what I'm talking about.

Those in the know could tell it was a complete fabrication. That piece was so well written, though, with authentic AP tags (and no hyperlink source since it was fake) that it was taken down a few hours later after folks commented they could not find it on any other AP sites. <<Pats self on back.
