Spoof Edition of NYT Distributed Across New York City
-----------------------------------------------------

A Palestinian village has been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, and Israel
is throwing open its doors to refugees-at least, according to a fake
version of The New York Times being distributed across New York City
today. The prank copy of the revered "Gray Lady" also says Democratic
presidential candidate "Hilarity Clifton" plans to quit the presidential
race and instead head up a women's nonprofit based in Ramallah. The
edition even has fake ads. It's not yet clear who is behind the prank.
The group The Yes Men pulled off a similar prank in 2008.
