Hehe, that was strangely cool to read, even going in knowing it wasn't remotely true. Says a lot about how much I'd love a follow-up to Serenity that I'm almost ready to believe an admitted spoof if it offers the slightest hope for a sequel. :)
And, yeah. Serenity Rising actually would make an excellent title.
Sad that the outlandishness of a Serenity sequel ranks with Visa and Mastercard capping their interest rates at 8%, and Barry Bonds owing his success to yoga. (As much as Lucas seems to like to tinker with Star Wars with each new technological development, I don't see that announcement as being so outlandish.)
That was cruel!! :(
I was thinking...Have I missed something?!?!? surely I would have known about a sequel in the works?!?!? then DUH!!!!!! I guess I can't always trust google news :( Maybe one day that won't be a spoof. :(
Wow and ow. The one that really stung more than Serenity's sequel (*whimper*) was the HIV/AIDS vaccine "breakthrough." After about nine years of working in HIV/AIDS research, and constantly experiencing disappointing research set-backs, knowing it was a spoof did not stop the little flutter I felt when reading the headline "Successful third round of trials for AIDS vaccine."
"Vaccine maker waives copyright and claim to profits" and allowing the little Carlisle Sentinel to announce it were especially nice touches.
I couldn't see much info about www.fugue.com, but the maker(s) of this page clearly has/have both brains and hearts, as well as a pointy sense of humor. (I'm thinking mebbe this lady had a hand in it, with this gentleman.)
Very cool. The entertainment headlines made me laugh, but it was a sort of muted laugh because scrolling down through the "news" section was... oof... heartbreaking.

Hah! I'm vindicated at last!
(And Serenity Rising would be a good sequel, but Finding Serenity is probably better. Hey, Jane would totally let Joss have her title, wouldn't she?)
