IMO, the best prank this year was from The Guardian, the 188-year-old British newspaper.
The Guardian said it would become a "Twitter-only publication," limiting all stories to 140 characters or less. My favorite bit: A mammoth project is also under way to rewrite the whole of the newspaper's archive, stretching back to 1821, in the form of tweets. Major stories already completed include "1832 Reform Act gives voting rights to one in five adult males yay!!!"; "OMG Hitler invades Poland, allies declare war see tinyurl.com/b5x6e for more"; and "JFK assassin8d @ Dallas, def. heard second gunshot from grassy knoll WTF?" The story is worth reading in it's entirety, which you can do here. Speaking of Twitter, don't forget you can follow me: twitter.com/Lady Johanna Add your comment |
