How do you tell the difference between a fake NY Times and a real NY Times? The fake times has more factual content?
Theres New York Slime and New York Slimier. Thats the only difference
Actually this is the sort of thing we should do, in January!
Who paid for the printing of 1.2 million 14 page faux copies of the NYT??? That is a considerable expense. Even at 10¢ each that is $120,000 and I doubt you could produce a 14 page broadsheet at 10¢. I would expect a production cost of close to a dollar or two per unit.
Who pays millions for a joke?
LOL. The word “hoax” does nothing to qualify or explain the phrase “New York Times newspaper”
Talk about redundancy....
Nice one!
MoveOn.Org? Soros? International ANSWER? Code Pink?
“How do you tell the difference between a fake NY Times and a real NY Times? The fake times has more factual content?”
-— You can also tell the diference because people would pay money to advertise in the fake one.
The “Yes Men” are anti-capitalist activists. I’m sure they get funds from somewhere.
Exactly, my first question, who paid for this? And what is to gain that makes it worth this cost? Bail out money?
Well for some trust fund baby or Soros-type it's a lot more than a joke, it's their feeble gasp at describing their utopia, so I have no trouble imagining some lefty dipstick who thinks that the publicity this receives will be worth it:
"After eight, or maybe twenty-eight years of hell, we need to start imagining heaven."
I would say that this stunt of agitprop is an act of treason in wartime designed to give aid and comfort to the enemy in a time of war. Axis Sally was convicted of treason over a radio drama. Put them on trial.
Comedy Central? The Onion?
Imagine there's no heaven... here on earth. Have these guys learned anything from the 20th century? Apparently not.
No and apparently one of them is a professor at RPI...

and another interesting side bar about the writers’ group called “The Yes Men”...

Their newest JAYSON BLAIR just released the Obama inaugural edition early.
Ms. Bertha,
Do you have any idea of the hell the Iraqis have been through for decades living under the brutal Hussein (Saddam, not Obama) regime? Do you know the hell the Iraqis will live if we bail out on them? Poor thing, the thought of Iraq ruins your whole day at Starbucks, doesn't it sweetie!
