I had to read though ever section on that site once I realised what it was. It was that well done.

[Havohej]

I lol'd.

[Mizhara]

Strangely, I didn't find it funny. I found it... beautiful. Soothing. I smiled, imagining a better world. Thank you.

[Nakatre Read]

Reminded me of the news ticker in SimCity.

[Misan]

 

The ads are the best part. Good find.

Ahhh... Idealism. How quaint it is.

Representing the minority view: Could only roll my eyes at most, and be disgusted at the concepts of others.

[Indahar]

I honestly couldn't read most of it. Maybe if they left it at the Iraq War I could accept the issue for what it is--a dream--but the other articles just seem ridiculous. It's one thing to imagine a world where your views win out above all others, but it's another to think some sort of Enlightenment will happen as a result.

"Nay Sayers say nay!"

Well it's nice to know that our diehard philosopher types are critiquing this. Point of the link was to show how well done it was, it looks very legit. It comes from this culture jamming group called the Yes Men.

We can only wish...

....hmmm... there seems to be a discrepancy...

It was done well, not that the NYT has a difficult layout to accomplish (which of course makes them a prime target for it).

That withstanding, what it is is blind idealism. Ideals are good to have, though they are quite impractical when taken to that level.

I don't believe that this is meant to be a completely accurate picture of what could happen in the future, rather it's a social statement and change of pace for the news world that makes readers stop and think. Imagine seeing "good news" in the news for once, really.

Minority view? Most of that stuff looked like good ideas to me.

I think that some of us are assuming that most of the world agrees with them.

Myself included mind. I'm as guilty of that error as anyone else.

Other than basic statements of outlook I think we really should avoid topics like these. People seem to react so badly when they find out the folks they are socialising with hold political or religious views they hold to be repugnant.

Also. Politics over in the US seem to be a tad, heated, these days. This doesn't help matters.

[Kamiko Hautala]

Well in terms of making it look legit, they even used machines to make and ship them out to diff areas of NYC. Very ingenious.
