Newspapers of Satire, Parody and Wit
September 22nd 2008 23:24
I thought it might be fun to read a few internet newspapers today. These don't actually contain any of the boring news you would find in most print newspapers. Instead they have news that is fun and interesting to read about.
Of course there is The Onion. In my opinion one of the best satirical newspapers ever. The Onion can be found online, in print, and now on radio. They also have an Onion News Network on youtube with 24 hour news video.
Some of their present headlines are:
Man Succumbs To 7-Year Battle With Health Insurance
Obama Promises To Stop America's Shitty Jobs From Going Overseas
Palin Unveils 9/11 Firefighter Cousin, Reformed Lesbian Niece, Naturalized Mexican Half Brother
Video: Disney Lab Unveils Its Latest Line Of Genetically Engineered Child Stars
Here is one of their very funny news videos: Economists Warn Anti-Bush Product Market Close To Collapse
Another one of the funnier newspapers is The Frumuous Bandersnatch. The Frumuous Bandersnatch has been online since 1997 but was originally founded in 1965 and is one of America's oldest satirical newspapers.
Some of the headlines from the latest edition include:
Foreclosure notice filed on White House
Reduction of gravity seen as energy solution
Water found on Mars, Bureau of reclamation announces water importation project
National day of positive talk proposed, Politicians speechless
Here's an Australian satirical newspaper called The Chaser.
And here are some of their recent headlines:
Drunken text messages regretted next morning
Bea Arthur's stalker retires
Starbucks gives staff Double Mocha Sackuccino
Cross-dresser confounded by androgynous fashion
