Night after night, it's the same old thing. I grab my falafel, and peruse a few websites to fill me in on the days happenings. Robberies, disasters, wars, everyday. This is our headline news. All of the mainstream newssites, share the same top stories, and all of them most certainly have one thing in common; bad news. Hey, it's reality, right? I should know about these things, and be aware of our world's picayunish people, who make the news what it is.

Don't get me wrong, I most certainly believe that it is of the utmost importance to be informed about what is going on in the world. Do something, make a difference if you can. Keep reading the news. Know what is happening in our world. Then, when your finished, and feel the need to raise yourself up from the duckbutter that you just read, join me....won't you?

Well, in order to understand mankind, we may have to look at the word itself: "Mankind." Basically, it's made up of two separate words - "mank" and "ind". What do these words mean? It is an ancient mystery, and that's why so is mankind. Thinking about this truly makes my head hurt. I need a break. A clean break from reality. This is where Madeupnews.com comes to save my day!

The people at Madeupnews.com share the philosophy that if you don't like the news, go out and make some up that you do like. What could be better?

At the site you will find the following sections for your eclectic reading tastes:

The Front Page
This is where all of the late breaking news is first posted. From big city stories, to personal dramas, this is the page that lists them. None of them are true, but hey, they are a lot better than the real stuff.

The Art's section
This is the section where you might find some jiggly, juicy gossip about your Hollywood favorites...or not. Currently, the top story is of Celine Dion, and evil wizardry. You might also find stories here that are about fish. Apparently, fish are really into the arts these days.

Horoscopes
I have this reoccurring dream. Dion Warwick, and her psychic friends are telling me what my future holds. As swift as the wind, they tell me about my innermost secrets. "You are as fat as a pig, slow as a snail, and you smell as malodorous as limburger cheese in the shorts of your TV repairman." At this point, I am as mad as a hornet, and my reply is not very pleasant. "You guys are as mean as...as...really mean people!" I say to them. I can't think... They are laughing like hyenas. I feel as low as pond scum. My point here is that the horoscope section at Madeupnews.com is much friendlier than this. I advice you to run like escapee from Ryker's Island, and get your horoscope here. It will make you as happy as a clam at high tide.

Sports
For you sports fans, Madeupnews.com has just the place for you. No sissy stuff here. No never ending debates on whether to choose paper or plastic at the checkout line. (Even though paper is the clear choice for concerned environmentally savvy citizens). Sports news is what you will get, and even though it is not true, you still get it.

If you are not sure, or aren't convinced that this site is for you, please take a look at what some of my Epinions friends have to say about this site, and of course my review:

Sordid-1 (Self-appointed advisor in the "How to Use Action Figures and Sets" category) says
"Too busy crusading against the scourge of mayo to help the likes of YOU."

Slow (President of S.A.C.A or "Succubuses are Cool Association") says
"I guess someone must have been stupid enough to poke themselves in the eye."

mptang (Most popular fakir at Epinions) says
"Do not carry a purse; it weighs you down."

Leah (hermaphroditic awareness spokeswoman) says
"It was likewise good with the creamy blue cheese!"

hard_to_please (winner of the porcine onomatopoeia award in 1992) says,
"I spend most of my spare time sitting around playing with myself."

Yes, folks. This was a write-off for Online News sites. Don't blame it on me. Blame it all on Sordid-1. Some of the participants, quoted above, have not posted their reviews yet, but some have, so check um out if you feel inspired to do so. This was a tough one to do, and I think that I probably, no, definitely cheated, and left out one of the crazy requirements that were bestowed upon us by one of the participants. It was something about listing one of your shortcomings in the lovemaking department within this review. Truth is, I can't remember that far back.
