Fake AP Stylebook

Here's something fun I stumbled onto today. It's called the Fake AP Stylebook and you can find it on Twitter. Basically, it's a bunch of tweets that poke fun at the Stylebook or newspapers. Here's a few of my favorite gems:
  • You cannot libel the dead. You can, however, libel the undead. Vampires have professional lawyers and hypnotism, so be careful. 
  • Your newsroom is alloted one usage of "Trial of the Century" every ten years. Please choose carefully.
  • Always remember to close all parentheses. We're not paying to air condition the entire paragraph.
You can read a bit more about it in this Oct. 23 post on the Huffington Post. Check it out and enjoy!
