Dear Readers,

Which is the only of the original thirteen colonies to not touch water?

Today we began our main project. It was announced that, yes, we would be making a movie. However, unlike last time, we would be doing this alongside other things.

The movie will be a parody of the 9nightly news.

What we did today was to begin our knowledge of news parodies. We chose somethings. We might use some of the footage, we might not. Maybe we’ll just use some of the Jokes.

We split up into three teams. Each team would scan a newspaper (One team got the Providence Journal, another got USA Today, and another got the New York Times.) The team witht the New York times did a story about the people who were payed if they did well on the SATS. The team with the Projo did a story about how Jeniffer Lopez got poisoned by a spring roll, and then had blue marks all over her face. She then sued Flannery, the person who sold her the marks. My team did USA today, and we did a story on George Bush’s economic plan (spending 2 trillion on the better operation of concession stands, and then giving each merican a penny.)

It was really fun, but, although I hate to admit it, they were not perfect. However, for a first try they were ridiculously good. I think that we should definately use some of the jokes.

Jinx-Curse or bad luck. (Origin, Latin “onyx” -cursed bird)
