A Great and Funny Blog: Scrappleface.com

There really is no other blog on the internet which consistently posts hysterical faux news articles better than Scrappleface.

Some recent snippets from this site include...

On the Dali Lama's visit to America...
(2007-10-17) — On the heels of several hazardous toy warnings, Chinese government officials today announced that "potentially toxic effects" have led it to recall the Dolly Llama, which has become a big hit in the U.S. in recent days, even being received at the White House by President George Bush.

"We never intended for the Dolly Llama to reach American shores," said an unnamed Chinese government safety spokesman. "And we're concerned our American friends will be poisoned through contact."
On Dumbledore being gay...
(2007-10-22) — Just days after author J.K. Rowling publicly revealed that a fictional character in her Harry Potter series was secretly a homosexual, U.S. Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald today empaneled a grand jury and vowed to find out who 'outed' Dumbledore, the imaginary headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

Mr. Fitzgerald is best known as the prosecutor who spent two and a half years, and millions of dollars, failing to identify who outed Valerie Plame as a CIA spy, although he knew the names of columnist Robert Novak’s sources before the probe began.
Anyway... lots more amusing articles over at Scrappleface. It is worth a read.
