NY Times Satire Proves Funny

April 1, 2009 toddvogts Journalism & Media 0

While reading “The Kicker: CJR’s Daily Blog,” I saw something that truly made me laugh.

Someone made a satire of The New York Times’ promotion for its weekend subscription package, and it is hilarious.

It was posted on VideoGrater about a month ago, but I just found it today thanks to “The Kicker.”

Seeing as it is April Fool’s Day, I thought the timing of my find was great.

I think you will enjoy it, even if you haven’t seen the Times’ weekender commercials.

Let me know what you think in the comments.
