Kids remix the Washington Post

Die Kinder von Angestellten der Washington Post haben die Titelseite der Zeitung geremixt und der- oder diejenige, der oder die die rechte Version mit „Random Story hits paper“ gemacht hat, wird einmal einen Nobelpreis gewinnen, den Weltfrieden erreichen und als erster Mensch mit Außerirdischen reden. Jede Wette.
Children of Post employees visited the newsroom and decided they could draw a better front page than their parents could create. Here are their front page news stories.

April 11, 1954: The most boring day in the 20th century
(Flickr Direktnothinghappened)
Deep Thought True Knowledge, ein Computer in Cambridge, hat die Antwort auf die Frage nach dem Leben, dem Universum und dem ganzen Rest errechnet, was der langweiligste Tag im 20. Jahrhundert gewesen war. Die Antwort ist der 11. April 1954, an dem Tag passierte so gut wie nichts.
Every day something of significance happens, a person is born who is destined for fame, there is an event in the arts or sports, history is created. With 300 million of these facts fed into the “brain” of True Knowledge, Tunstall-Pedoe’s Cambridge company, the computer was asked: “What was the most boring day in the 20th century?” […]
“For fun we wrote the program and set it going. When the results came back the winner (or perhaps loser) was April 11, 1954 – a Sunday in the 1950s. Nobody significant died that day, no major events apparently occurred and although a typical day in the 20th century has many notable people being born, for some reason that day had only one who might make that claim: Abdullah Atalar – a Turkish academic.
“The irony is though, that having done the calculation, the day is interesting for being exceptionally boring.”

Den Trailer zu The Onions’ News From The Year 2137 hatten neulich schon hinter den schwulen Fußballclip geklebt, die ganze Folge (ein Kurzfilm von 12 Minuten) gibt es jetzt im amerikanischen iTunes-Store. Hat jemand ‘nen amerikanischen Account, kann die Folge ziehen und mir zukommen lassen? Ich lade die dann thru magic irgendwo für alle hoch…
A catastrophe known as “the Burndown” has reduced the world to an anarchic hellscape — food and water are scarce, borders have been redrawn, many humans remain irradiated, and the United States is ruled by a screaming, tattooed thug. Amidst the decay, the Onion News Network remains unrivaled, disseminating 24-hour brutally graphic reports directly into the right eye of all future viewers through a technology that will be known as ‘eyestreaming.’

Ripo hat die Headlines von 10 Tagen auf BBC Online gemalt und jeden Tag übermalte er die Headline von gestern mit der aktuellen. Sweet!
Everyday the news is transmitted to us across the globe. We’re left saddened, scared, inspired, skeptical, hopeful, angry, or simply numb. But the next day brings a new set of stories painting over the memories of yesterday’s events.
