New Yorkers were surprised with free “special edition” copies of the New York Times on November 12 with the lead story “IRAQ WAR ENDS”. The issue which is dated July 4, 2009 also features articles on expanded bike paths and free universities among other positive news.

The papers, which were distributed throughout Manhatten were a project of the group Because We Want It, which according to Gawker is actually famous pranksters The Yes Men in yet another guise.

You can read all of the articles on their accompanying website HERE. Watch their video news release below…
