This is not original work. They copied these reports from the Daily Mail, which ran them last week, except for the inverted graphs story which ran in the Financial TImes.
They are not claiming to be making it up. They are collecting “news” actually reported by other organisations, only picking the crazy ones instead of the more serious news.
This is not going to take off, as often the crazy and serious are one and the same.
This article is an April Fool’s joke. None of the quotes or information contained in it are true
France is to supply its Mistral warships to the EU foreign service instead of to Russia in a move designed to forge a “genuine European defence policy”.

But maybe France would try to sell them to Lithuania (although I see no other report of that now).
Yes, you are right — the real stuff is often as crazy as satire now, and I find it hard to tell the difference, especially with Daily Mail and it’s ilk (which was the point of my post).
re: Spoof news….love the bit about “high security kennel” for the KGB spy doggie! The international SPCA is preparing protest papers regarding his treatment and demanding his immediate release!!! Amnesty Canine International is mounting a dog biscuit campaign to insure his proper nutrition! By the way, That renamed battleship looks bigger than the whole country of Lithuania–surely it hardly fits in their main port?
You may be giving birth to a whole new mini art form here. Keep it up!!! As the Norwegians said during their occupation by the Nazis—he who laughs, lasts.
Where is John Cleese when we need him?
Full Monty.

This is even more stupid

reports Newsweek ( Neo-Nazi newspapers ).

Really? I had thought sure it was satire. I think I still do.

There is an old Calvin and Hobbes cartoon http://www.gocomics.com/calvinandhobbes/2011/08/14
stuffed monkey heads for supper, and the dad’s reaction.
Voice recording shall not be performed in the bathroom. It can’t even get what he says with that much reflexion.
Where can I get one of those anti-radar tambourines. It would be great for evading traffic cop speed traps
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
Thanks for the laughter!!!
This world of ours is going to hell in a hand basket . . . we need some laughter and a sprinkler of mirth to lighten things up a bit!

Well…The old format was *much* better.
South Front shouldn’t join the niveau limbo.
This one reminds me of:
International Chinese Communist Conspiracy – Monty Python
Works for me. :D The world needs more of this kind of humour and less of that bitchy zio-queen rubbish inflicted by New York and Hollywood.
