: NationalPrevaricator.com is a couple of different things. Most obviously, it's a website which hasn't been evidently updated since October. But that's about to change.

: It's also an online tabloid. And that's where the dichotomy begins.

: Not unlike GodHatesBrains.com, it's a parody. In reality. However, since reality includes a huge number of morons, the NP, like GHB, is a parody which dumb people tend to assume is meant to be real.

: Among idiots, there are those who will assume that, while the NP is meant to be a real publication, the articles are still fictional. There are also those idiots who are so dumb that other idiots get to call them idiots; those people will assume that, beyond the NP being real, the articles are real as well.

: So: the National Prevaricator is, in reality, a parody of everything from the National Enquirer to the Weekly World News. And its articles are approximately as realistic as any found in what we're assuming to be 'real tabloids'.

: In any case, NationalPrevaricator.com will be utterly updated on 1st April. Then we'll see who assumes what about it.

: And, of course, we're accepting submissions from anyone who wants to write for it. We're guessing that, once the first issue is online, people will have a pretty good idea of what passes as an NP article....
