Behind the Headlines

Hello there.
That headline was taken from the Onion. For awhile now I’ve been pushing for something similar in the MEN. Just a section or a story once a week - a spoof on actual news, either locally focused or not. Do you think there’s any room in a real newspaper for fake or mock news?

What would really be fun is to have one fake story a day and see if readers can pick out which one it is. Imagine the possibilities.

And, by the way, The Onion now has video on its web site, which is where the monkey story was filed. Hilarity will ensue.
