The New York Times, dated July 4, 2009.
The broadside was handed out for free in New York City and around the country. The web site mimics nytimes.com, and the many comments on the stories variously reveal readers' anxieties, exuberance, confusion, despair, and on and on...
From the section "Fine Print":
"The dozens of volunteer citizens who produced this paper spent the last eight years dreaming of a better world for themselves, their friends, and any descendants they might end up having. Today, that better world, though still very far away, is finally possible — but only if millions of us demand it, and finally force our government to do its job."
P.S. I found out today (November 18) that there were many groups who collaborated on this project and that it was led in part by The Yes Men.
