In one of the most elaborate hoaxes ever perpetrated, more than 1.2 million copies of the New York Times were hand-delivered in a couple of major cities in the US. The headline screamed: Iraq War Ends. The date gave it away: April 1, 2009.
The "newspaper" imagines what the headlines would be 6 months from now if the President-elect is able to keep all his electoral promises. It was more than just headlines. Each article was also elaborately written and presented in as authentic a manner as possible. There's nothing like taking a message to the extreme to highlight how difficult the road ahead really is.
I wonder what the headlines will really be on All Fools' Day next year.
