News Of The World

A mass of parodical twistation. Laugh it up. This is nothing more than ridiculation.

Verboten publishes a sensational tabloid with buzz gathered from all around the world then twisted into nonsense. Nobody knows why. We do other stuff, too.

Reinventing the tabloid format by admitting it's parody from the very first headline ripped off from real journalists. Updated every Sunday just like the old days. Embedded search links connect you to related articles for the deep dive we know you're craving.

Warning: Designed to make you think. Requires sense of humour.

Now that we're past a year of the global pandemic there's not much point in covering the news. It's all fake anyway so parody can't compete. lol! Cheers!

Next Update: TBD
