Communters in New York were surprised today by a free edition of The New York Times. Something was up, because it was a lot thinner than normal. Another clue is that it’s dated July 4, 2009, and full of articles talking about a future where Gitmo is closing, oil companies are nationalized, and the National Health Insurance Act passes. This NYTimes Special Edition did a good job mimicking the paper and web versions.
- Because of slow download times, here’s a screenshot of the site (PNG, 1.4 MB);
- I have a copy of the paper version as well (PDF, 8.2 MB).
Word on the street is the Yes Men are somehow involved.
