NY Post Gets Yes Men Treatment

After last November’s fake New York Times treatment, lefty political pranksters The Yes Men are back with a fake “Special Climate Edition” of the New York Post. The front page story, “WE’RE SCREWED,” covers, in Bizarro-world Post fashion, the catastrophic events which the scientific community expects humanity to endure due to climate change. You can read it all online here, but the culture jammers have also distributed 1 million copies of the print edition city-wide.

The fake Post is timed to coincide with a meeting of world leaders to discuss climate change at the U.N. Tuesday; the Yes Men emphasize that while their edition of the Post is a hoax, all the facts in the tabloid are accurate.
