'Yes Men' Distribute Fake New York Times Declaring 'Iraq War Ends'!

Eating scrolls, taking a stroll around the city naked, cooking food over dung, marrying a prostitute, and naming your kid "Not My People" are just a few examples of the behavior of biblical prophets.

Whether you agree with their tactics or not, I couldn't help but think back to some of these stories when I read about the "Yes Men" prank this morning.

They distributed over 1 million copies of a fake New York Times that had declared the end of the Iraq war. It was post-dated July 4, 2009, and included an apology from EXXON for the Iraq war, a booming economy, and increased minimum wage.
