Fake New York Times hits NY today

12times-480.jpg

from the real NY Times:

In an elaborate hoax, pranksters distributed hundreds or possibly thousands of free copies of a spoof edition of The New York Times on Wednesday morning at busy subway stations around the city, including Grand Central Terminal, Washington and Union Squares, the 14th and 23rd Street stations along Eighth Avenue, and Pacific Street in Brooklyn, among others.

It's actually 1.2 million copies, this being yet another brilliant and elaborate hoax by the Yes Men.
