Copyright infringement?

The Nation’s Oldest Newspaper™ extends its bemused congratulations and hearty best wishes to the audacious scamps who have temporarily and harmlesly appropriated the New York Times brand, and used it as a platform on which to indulge in some creative, useful, and reality-based re-interpretation of reality.

Talk about poetic justice. With its hidebound and blindered interpretation of reality, the hereditary stewards of the alleged “newspaper of record” have been the prime enablers over the past eight years of the Bush maladministration’s vicious and perverse reign.

You may or may not face legal prosecution for violation of trademark rights. This is clearly a brilliant example of the use of protected material for satirical purposes. As such, no prosecutor worth his salt would charge you—and no jury could rightly convict. “Pinch” would have to be an idiot to sic his lawyers on you—so you had better be prepared!

Kudos!

You rule the Earth.

Much better than the actual NYT, which is basically a stenographer for the status quo and promoter of lifestyles for the rich and famous.

Only if it were true (or come to be true), then what a wonderful idea/paper this would be. In fact, maybe you should create a separate banner (something like ‘The New Good Times’) and continue with the same theme, that of good news. God knows, we need as much good news as we can get.

This is brilliant.. I live in Chicago and would love to own and add a copy of this to my collection. How can people outside of New York get a print copy?

Wow - we can dream, can’t we! You’re making me “tear up” at work. It’s sad that, so far, one of the only ways we can receive such a multi-faceted vision of many of our common dreams is in the form of a “spoof”. Well, let’s face facts, folks - we’re not kidding about this! This is where many of us - and I would think, hello, a democratic majority of us - want to go. So, how do we most effectively move in that direction? To start, let’s figure out how to make the most of the incredible “buzz” (and, who knows, possibly even “furor” from the ever-more-traumatized right, and those with special or vested interests in the status quo) that this magnificant feat of satire is already starting to create! I’m forwarding this URL now!

As we do indeed get what we focus on, this is an incredible focus for today’s world.

Good for NYTimes. I like it.

This is so great! It’s wonderful what you have created here. Even the ads are neat.
Greetings and respect from across the ocean. Keep up the good work.

Although this looks really optimistic, a lot of it depends on government-controlled collectivism. Sure it’s better than what we have now, but people — please wake up! The solution is more real human relationships and less reliance on government-implemented systems.

Implementing this vision would only have us abdicate our fundamental sovereignty further into the hands of a small group who would implement it, giving unprecedented monopolistic power to a few individuals. And this is exactly what the collectivist power mongers are looking for.

I’m sure Zbigniew Brzezensky, the Rockefellers and the other NWO elitists are just elated that we’re all so willing to hand over our power and trust to them with such open arms.

As Jesus said, “Whatever you ask in prayer, believe that you have receive it and will be yours.” I will print a few pages and put them on my vision board believing that its already true!
THANKS FOR MAKING IT! We need more news like these!

You Rock NY Times,
I’m not sure how but you are the poineers of a new type kind of Journalism

I can’t believe they’re being sold on eBay. Kind of goes against the whole idea of the paper. I’m going to look around town for places that can print newspapers and hand them out here in Seattle as well.

Brilliant! Especially the ‘ads’. Well done. Thank you!

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you to however is responsible for this. I just finished reading Ron Paul’s, “THE REVOLUTION, A Manifesto” when I saw this paper! It took my breath away for a moment. I couldn’t believe it! But when I realized what this paper was I came back to the reality that this is THE PEOPLE’S fight against capitalist greed - where the enemy has increased its strength after the unconstitutional war in Iraq! We have a long road ahead of us but its comforting to know there are others out there who feel the same way. Godspeed to all!

I love your work to no end.

Greetings from Germany: Until today I knew “good news”, now I know “best news”, and I do hope, that President George W. Bush gets a judicial invitation to take place on the electric chair, next to Bill Clinton, Gerhard Schröder, Joseph Martin (aka “Joschka”) Fischer, and their international companions! Maybe the trial should take place in Nürnberg (Nuremberg/Bavaria), as in 1945.

Yours faithfully, René Schneider

Fantastic and amazing how you pulled this off! Can you guys send a hard copy to me in France?!

I loved it! It reads so true! Change is coming! I, too, would like a hard copy (to collect with my President-elect Obama issues)!

Congratulations for this second proof of vivid democraty !
Long Live USA.

First, well done “Special” New York Times team!
It’s an effort worth making. I must say, very nicely planned and excellently pulled-off! The level of hope you carry for the future is indeed enviable. It’s pleasantly contagious.

Second, although you missed out on highlighting ending the war that the Bush government gave us (read: gifted us), here in Afghanistan-Pakistan region, but I am positive that sooner or later reason will prevail over your government’s hegemonic designs, hope will triumph over the ultimate brutality of your war-making machine and I dare imagine that on another bright day like this, U.S. will stop ‘liberating’ independant, sovereign nations. I dare believe that someday U.S. will learn not to export the ‘democracy-of-terrorism’ to countries it just wants to be in (for whatever ’strategic’ reasons). I wish I could only emphasize it anymore: People here don’t hate you because you are Americans, but only when you force us to be Americanish! You’re welcome here as much as we are welcomed there AND on the same condition: please mind your own business.
We wish you peace and a speedy recovery from the present economic illness that you have fallen into. May the 4th of July next, bring the best of your dreams to life. Ameen.

FAKE JOURNALISM FOR THE REAL US
Its an another miracle for the politics, its really good if its real purpose is to stop the war and attention for the peace and economic welfare of the country. But waht ever illegal is illegal nothing else. I saw that in our home town we can find the fake certificates and mfg items but its really serious fnny..

Oh may you all be blessed, for such remarkable feat. For so much hope and change in your headlines, when Robama has already sold out to the insiders and is snickering, laughing at the stupidity of hope and change. Americans have given this man an opportunity and he has already given every one the finger. See Counterpunch for some real news.
Lol you are wonderful!

would love to see the printed version.

I HOPE THIS PLAN WILL CONTINUE BY THE ANOTHER COUNTRY POLITICIANS FOR THERE POLITICAL PURPOSE

Well done, from a technical standpoint . . . but are these headlines supposed to be POSITIVE? This is a Christian American’s nightmare! Complete obliteration of the free market, economic fascism (not that we haven’t been marching that way since the 1930s) . . . I’m surprised there’s nothing about abolishing religion, too! Why do you people hate Jesus and America?

I will try this submission again. It was rejected earlier as a duplicate. It was not, but if a duplicate does not fly, perhaps a triplicate will. On the restoration of civics to high schools:

The restoration of civics indeed would be welcome news. With the expansion of power of the federal Department of Education, we can now expect all American schoolchildren, from Fort Kent in Maine to Honolulu, to acquire critical thinking approaches to government and politics. It should be clear that with almost half of voters choosing McCain-Palin despite the obvious correctness of votes for Obama-Biden, that something was seriously amiss in the educations of voters.

A remarkably diverse collection of experts developed the wonderfully detailed curriculum. They included the editors of The Nation magazine, faculty members from Duke University, people appointed by Rep. Nancy Pelosi (who will remain anonymous), Shabazz Muhammad al-Rashid, the last resident of the former Sing Sing Correctional Facility (formerly Prison), before that was abolished because of a court finding that it unfairly discriminated against its residents and they were set free, and numerous other experts on the New Thinking, drawn from throughout the world.

Many teachers will eagerly adopt the new curriculum. Those who do not will be immediately replaced. Each classroom will benefit from two monitors who will take detailed notes of what is said and done and written in the class, in order to ensure the best compliance with the intricately detailed commands of the new civics curriculum. More details on the monitors will be announced.

We have the change Americans want and need.
