In today’s celebrity obsessed culture it would make sense that some people would rather read fake news about celebrities than real news about the world. This is not a new idea, Start and the National Enquirer have been doing this for years; NewGroper.
com has put a new spin on it. Fake blogs. One the site you can read the blogs written by anonymous authors in the voice of 50 different celebrites ranging from George W. Bush to Mr. T. They didn’t forget Paris Hilton or Sam Jackson either, whose blog starts with “That’s mothafucking right!” The authors get the celebs dead on, its like Saturday Night Live in its heyday, in blog format.
NewsGroper.com In Their Own Words
News Groper began as a U.N.-sanctioned task force to foster free speech. Its original mandate was simple: create a forum where all previously misrepresented, misunderstood, censored-by-a-publicist or taken-out-of-context-while-on-multiple-intoxicants voices in the world could be heard.
Then, a war started somewhere and the U.N. outsourced both the News Groper project and something labeled “Special Attention: Peace in the Middle East Initiative” to independent humanitarians … us. (We, in turn, delegated the latter project to interns.)
