News so fake you’ll wish it were real

-

Damper 3 has a dream. A dream that involves a lot of money. Like, obscene amounts of it, and a vacation home in the Bahamas.

But Damper 3 also dreams of becoming a leader in producing news so fake and ludicrous that you’ll wish it were real.

You may be tempted to think that quality satire sites like The Onion, Duffel Blog, Babylon Bee, and the Borowitz Report have a pretty good handle serving up quality fake news. You may even think there’s no room for more satirical reporting.

You’re wrong. Please shut up.

News so fake you’ll wish it were real

Today we’re sharing the first Damper 3 News reel, because we want some of that green cabbage.  Short of that, we'd at least like some of those cool press credentials to stick in our noir fedoras, not a stupid Trilby.

We may not have a lot of money or resources, or ethics. Or journalistic experience. Or journalistic integrity. Come to think of it, we don’t write good either. But we have moxie. And a desire to bring you the fake truth.

But whatever we may lack we make up in complete apathy towards our shortcomings.

That’s our promise.

With that said, we present the very first edition of Damper 3 News:

Rise of the thermometers

  Good news, everyone! According to a recent article in the New York Times , infections from COVID-19, including the most recent Omicron variant, seem to be on the way down. One of the ways they know this, according to the Times, is from a company named Kinsa in San Francisco that “tracks 2.5 million internet-connected thermometers across the country.” This company evidently uploads the temperatures of those using these thermometers, and “uses that data to estimate the percentage of Americans who have a fever every day. The declines over the past week have been sharp, which is a sign of Omicron’s retreat[.]”   Now, we know what you’re thinking: you’re simply ecstatic of the idea that millions of thermometers are congregating in the cloud, sharing stories about how sick you are, passing them on to some well-intentioned company who promises not to pass along anything personal about you. (Well, most of you are ecstatic. Some, like Bob Mulligan of 1535 East Bishop Avenue, in Millinocket,

WASHINGTON - Convicted of crimes they clearly committed, this band of mercenaries fled justice in the early 1980s, and have left a trail of devastation across the globe. It is only by Providence that, despite millions of dollars in property damage and stolen vehicles, explosives, and other weapons, no deaths have resulted from this team’s decades-long rampage.
