the very best satire the internet has to offer,

one of these best-of pieces represents the

Believable

mistaken for real news. Sometimes it's readers
hungry to find a truth that coincides with
their own crazy belief, other times it's people
so used to enjoying tabloid news that they've
lost their perspective on reality. No matter
the reason the following list represents some
of the most widely believed spoof news articles
on the net. Please choosethe one and only

Current Events
The world is an ever-changing place, and
both news sites as well as satire sites are
forced to report along with it or languish
in the defunct realms of obscurity. Some organizations
work harder than other to bring you the most
current of the best spoof news and satire
stories. This category of the satire awards
is dedicated to seeking out and awarding the
best of the current events satire stories.
From the list of nominees below, please pick
your one and only favorite.
• Best
Celebrity Related
Celebrities have long been the fodder for
news, tabloid and satire or spoof news sources
alike. After all, if you can't laugh at yourself,
might as well laugh at celebrities. This category
of The Satire Awards is dedicated to finding
the best instances of pointing out celebrity
folly, and from the looks of our nominees,
we've got plenty to laugh about. Select from
the following candidates the celebrity-related
headline which brings you the most laughter.
• Best
Presidential Related
America's president has always been a source
of amusement no matter who it is that's in
office. Working under the strict confines
of finding a fresh perspective for presidential
mockery can be tough, so we've lumped all
the Bush, Dubya, Dubbya and Dumya articles
togethe rinto a tidy category called Best
Presidential Story. Though any president is
fair game, most of these headlines relate
to our current president or something loosely
thereabout.
• Best
Sports Related
Whether it's that multi-million dollar deal
for an unknown kid or a gorgeous tennis player
who doesn't know how to server, even real
media has plenty of fodder for poking fun
at the crazy world of sports. The following
nominees have been selected from all candidate
sites and represent only the very best and
most amusing sports related spoof news and
satire articles.

Best
Related Picture
Some spoof news and satire sites rely entirely
on their writing while others lean moreso
on their work with custom photography and
photo work. When writing a news article it
can be important to have an appropriate photo
to go with it,even if the story is fake and
the photo is photo shopped. Below are only
the best of the fabricated photos from each
of the sites nominated.
• Best
Established Site
As time goes on satire and spoof news sites
typically refine their craft as well as the
overall workings of their site. They may take
on more writers, more experienced writers
or full-time employees to handle the coding,
development or editorial work of the site.
Instead of The Satire Awards making a single
"Best Satire Site" category lumping
the diamonds in the rough with the finished
cut diamonds, we felt it was important to
recognize each separately. What you'll find
below is the list of nominees matching the
criteria for Best Established Satire Site.
• Best
New Site
Each year there are literally dozens of new
satire and spoof news sites that emerge onto
the scene. While most die off or peter out
within the first two years, there's always
an up and coming star in the mix. Each of
the sites below has been nominated as the
best new site of the quarter, and only your
votes can determine which one will win the
ultimate honor.
• Best
Site Design
Some webmasters go to great lengths to make
sure their spoof news and satire is presented
in an easy to navigate format that's also
pleasing on the eyes. Nearly all participating
satire sites are eligible for this award.
Feel free to browse through all the sites
listed below to determine which ones are the
easiest to view and navigate and vote for
the one that's singly the best to your sensibilities.
