Breaking the fake news

Liz Foreman October 3rd, 2008

I’m a sucker for local news parody sites (Anyone remember KRAP4.com and Super Duper Doppler 40,000?) Now there’s a newspaper website parody that is clever in the same way, Not the L.A. Times. It has fake stories and fake banner ads and, of course, real Google ads. Here’s a blog post about the site, which launched in July.

    I used to LOVE KRAP4.com…I still occasionally check the URL to see if it’ll ever come back.

    Another great news parody site, this one local to the Seattle area: Nakedloon.com

    What a treat to see KRAP4.com mentioned 10 years later! That was my site, and I’m glad you enjoyed it.

    It’s not coming back, but it sure was fun. ;)
