Mexico City - In the North American capital it was announced that the United States Dollar would be retired from circulation and replaced with a new currency, dubbed the "Amero".
Pictured below, the currency will be phased in over time, much as the Euro was, with a cutoff date for its full implementation in 2010.
"There is no need to be alarmed," a treasury source said. "If you find some dollars in the mattress after that date you can still exchange them for Ameros at a fair market rate. You just won't be able to spend them on the open market."

I'm always nervous when this kind of thing pops up as satirical humor first.

The story one down is way way funnier than this one.
Brokeback Mountain 2 in production
Following on the unexpected success of last years film, Brokeback Mountain, director Ang Lee is working with a new cast to make a sequel to the film.
Brokeback Mountain 2: The Fur Traders is currently in production at an undisclosed location.
"We have a great script that shows as much sensitivity to the subject matter as seen in the first movie," Lee said.
"We also were able to get top quality talent to star in this production. The studio called me on the carpet for the salary expenses, but when they saw the line up of talent and what we were setting out to do with this story, they signed off on everything we had in mind."
Starring in this second installment of the Brokeback series, Jessica Alba is a young woman from the wrong side of the tracks who is introduced to the great outdoors by a more seasoned Halle Berry.
The story follows their relationship, and the relationships of three other couples who work in the mountains, mostly trapping beaver and catching fish.
Although not confirmed at this time, there are reports that Rosie O'Donnell is underwriting filming costs and taking a hands on approach to producing the film.

I believe a FReeper was the one who was the artist of this banknote.
They should get the praise not some personal blog.

I am almost thinking that Brokeback parody deserves it's own thread.

That's funny! FR should send a huge mail bag of those bills, SPECIAL DELIVERY, to our beloved El Presidente, now residing in Washington, D.C...

The sad part is some will believe it. I read it at the DUmp earlier and everyone knows they'll believe anything.
It's bad but not that bad. Yet.
