If you're not logged in,
you can see what this page
looks like, but you will
not be able to add anything.
Every day you get your local and/or national news, but most of the verbs, nouns, adverbs, and adjectives are replaced with blanks and you get to fill in your own.
"Bush signs peace treaty"
becomes, perhaps,
"Bush impregnates peace monkey"
Let the good times roll!

This would work for on-line news reports. |

Maybe if the newsreaders played Mad-Libs with each other to avoid undue mental strain to the audience. |
|

Newsreaders already present the news without mental strain to the audience. |

Baked I'm afraid.

Insofar as madlibs 'work'. I think they're asinine, but whatever turns your crank. |
