Is this real? Really? Amazing.

Either The Best Show is actually rewriting history with it's hilarity, or the author of that article is a die hard fan. I hope it's the first one!

Wow! Yeah, I wonder about the guy who put this together. I mean, besides the person who called in with the "get ready" quote, I've never heard anyone screw that quote up before. It's everywhere.

Man, you totally got me! Nice work. I honestly never even questioned its reality. In a better world this would be true...

The "next" and "back" links work, too.  He even had the EW favicon.  Awesome stuff Bobo.

I initially questioned its authenticity, but it was too clean of a job. Well done, KTB. First you make me spew ginger-ale out of my nose with your thoughts on alt-porn (true story) and now this. Keep up the good work!

thanks for the nice words folks! Really, though: all you gotta do to save a webpage to your computer is go to File>Save Page As in your browser. It will download all the graphics and html. Make a few changes in the text, upload it to a webspace somewhere and viola!: Bill O'Reilly is posting his favorite Pavement b-sides.

That is fucking awesome.  I'm going to zap that around the internets as a real thing, if you don't mind.
