i don't think you're allowed to call your own writing "best"

Fair enough

that complex.com piece is rather strange. the headline says "Rapper So Desperate For Press He Faked A New York Times Article." the story itself neither says nor even suggests anything was faked. at least not anywhere in the text. i guess you're just supposed to get it. is that what writers do these days?

Yeah I have absolutely no idea what the joke is with the thing in the op.

the story itself neither says nor even suggests anything was faked.

the article appears on the fake website nytimes.la, and in the last paragraph Shirt is quoted as saying, "I'll fucking fake a Times article."

oh, I guess when you say "the story itself" you're referring to complex.com story. yeah, that is weird.

Maybe it was too subtle for its own good but are you having trouble realizing that nytimes.la is fake without prodding
