Fool Your Friends with Fake Headlines

Want to fool your friends and make them think you or they have been highlighted somehow in a news story? Or maybe make them think people that share their name are doing some really weird or stupid things?

Check out the I Got News For You site. You can enter some quick information about yourself and your friend and send them an e-mail with a link to your custom spoofed newspaper frontpage. Or, you can have the page blown up and sent to them poster size if you want to pay for it. I’ve included a screen shot of my spoofed page for my friend.
The site is pretty entertaining and humorous. I’m not sure about the copyright issues that might be involved, but I think the resulting page is a little too easily identified as a spoof. What would be really interesting is if they could grab screen shots of real paper’s front pages or main header graphics for the location you choose and then insert a news story here or there. I think this combined with the ability to upload a photo of your friend for them to insert into the headline story would be what pushes this to exceptional.
