Truth, or spoof?

Welcome to a new regular feature of this blog.  In this age of extremes, can you always tell reality from satire?  From time to time we will be asking you to guess whether items are real, or just made-up. 

Let’s start with an easy one. Let’s say we tell you there’s going to be a new reality show called “I Pity The Fool,” featuring Mr. T helping to solve people’s problems. Now, obviously that would be a spoof.  You get the idea.  What? Wait a minute - it turns out that one is actually  the truth.  This game may be harder than we thought…parody300.jpg
