NEW YORK TIMES FAKE

A fake edition of the New York Times announcing the end of the Iraq war has been handed out to commuters in the US.

More than 1m free copies of the 14-page "special edition" newspaper were distributed mainly in the cities of New York and Los Angeles.

Another bogus story was about all Americans being given free health care.

A liberal group called the Yes Men, well known in the US for its practical jokes, claimed responsibility for the elaborate prank.

The fake paper - dated 4 July 2009 - had a motto on its front page which read "all the news we hope to print".

The hoax was accompanied by a web site that mimicked the look of The New York Times's real website.

A page of the spoof site contained links to dozens of liberal organisations, which were also listed in the print edition.

The fake edition surprised commuters, many of whom took the free copies thinking they were legitimate.

Later, the Yes Men issued a statement claiming responsibility.

"In an elaborate operation six months in the planning, 1.2m papers were printed at six different presses and driven to pre-arranged pickup locations."

The statement added that thousands of volunteers helped to distribute the fake edition.

A spokeswoman for the newspaper, Catherine Mathis said "This is obviously a fake issue of The Times. We are in the process of finding out more about it."

Teresa dying of breast cancer in the Netherlands

GOD BLESS YOU. I AM MOTHER TERESA ANDERSON FROM NETHERLAND,
A WIDOW TO LATE CRISTIANO ANDERSON. I AM 61 YEARS OLD,
I AM A NEW CHRISTIAN CONVERT SUFFERING FROM LONG TIME CANCER OF THE BREAST.
ALL INDICATION MY CONDITIONS IS REALLY DETERIORATING AND IT IS QUITE OBVIOUS THAT
I WOULDN'T LIVE MORE THAN THREE MONTHS ACCORDING TO MY DOCTORS,AND IN ALL INDICATION
REGARDS TO MEDICAL ANALYSIS.
THIS IS BECAUSE THE CANCER HAS GOTTEN TO A VERY BAD STAGE THAT NO HOPE FOR ME TO BE A
LIVING PERSON AGAIN. MY LATE HUSBAND DIED DURING THE HURRICANE DISASTER IN NEW ORLEANS
,AND DURING THE PERIOD OF OUR MARRIAGE WE COULD NOT PRODUCE ANY CHILD.
MY LATE HUSBAND WAS VERY WEALTHY AND AFTER HIS DEATH,
I INHERITED ALL HIS BUSINESS AND WEALTH. THE DOCTORS HAS ADVISED ME THAT I MAY NOT
LIVE FOR MORE THAN THREE MONTHS, SO I NOW DECIDED TO DIVIDE THE PART OF THIS WEALTH,
TO CONTRIBUTE TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE CHURCH IN AFRICA, AMERICA ASIA AND EUROPE
ESPECIALLY CREATE SOLUTION TO PROBLEM OF LESS PREVILLAGED ONES AND ORPHANAGE
HOMES. I SELECTED YOU AFTER VISITING THE WEBSITE I PRAYED AND FAST FOR THREE WEEKS
OVER IT WITH ADVISE OF MY PASTOR,I AM WILLING TO DONATE THE SUM OF $7.5M U.S DOLLARS,
TO THE LESS PRIVILEGED. PLEASE I WANT YOU TO NOTE THAT FUND IS LYING IN A SECURITY
COMPANY AND UPON MY INSTRUCTION, MY ATTORNEY WHO PRESENTLY IS IN LONDON FOR A
SPECIAL ENGAGEMENT, WILL FILE IN AN APPLICATION FOR THE TRANSFER OF THE MONEY IN YOUR
NAME. LASTLY, I HONESTLY PRAY THAT THIS MONEY WHEN TRANSFERRED WILL BE USED FOR
THE SAID PURPOSE EVEN THOUGH I'M LATE THEN, BECAUSE I HAVE COME TO FIND OUT THAT
WEALTH ACQUISITION WITHOUT CHRIST IS VANITY AND I MADE THE PROMISE TO GOD THAT THE
FUND WILL BE USE TO BUILD HIS TEMPLE. MAY THE GRACE OF OUR LORD JESUS THE LOVE OF
GOD AND THE FELLOWSHIP OF GOD BE WITH YOU AND YOUR FAMILY.
