When New York City woke up this morning, The New York Times didn’t look the same to them. One reason might have been the date: July 4, 2009. The other would be the headlines: Iraq War is Over and Bush is Indicted for Treason.

To further their spoof, the crew put together a website that carried the content of the stories from the front page. Editor & Publisher, a media industry trade, confirmed that the spoofed copies were distributed nationwide. Gawker followed the trail of the spoof and found the work of “The Yes Men, a group of high-concept, anti-consumerist pranksters whose work is documented in their 2003 self-titled movie.”
