Iraq War OVER? …Not Quite.
In what has to be one of the coolest hoaxes/pranks ever done, a group of thousands, calling themselves “The Yes Men” distributed a fake version of the New York Times yesterday.
The edition, dated July 5, 2009, details an almost utopic vision for the future of the US, with the Iraq War over, the economy stablized, hell, even an apology for the WMD scares!
Unfortunately for us all, this isn’t reality yet, but as pranks go, this is definitely one of the more elaborate, and dare I say it…hopeful.
Hell, they even made a fake website.
Maybe one day this paper will be real. Time will tell.
