Today's most accurate headline: We're Screwed!

Today, the merry pranksters with a mission, The Yes Men, issued a "special edition" of the New York Post, which they distributed throughout the Big Apple.The Gothamist describes it this way:
The front page story, "WE'RE SCREWED," covers, in Bizarro-world Post fashion, the catastrophic events which the scientific community expects humanity to endure due to climate change. [T]he culture jammers have also distributed 85,000 copies of the print edition city-wide.

The fake Post is timed to coincide with a meeting of world leaders to discuss climate change at the U.N. Tuesday; the Yes Men emphasize that while their edition of the Post is a hoax, all the facts in the tabloid are accurate.
No joke.
