People who read PDJ should expect to be lied to. Dangerous, irresponsible
lies at that. Fuck the rules.

Naked News-caster wears black
2001-09-11 17:51:26
The attack on the World Trade Center triggered shut-downs across the nation. Airports, stock exchanges -- and even broadcasts from the web site The Naked News.
Americans observed a variety of responses -- whether attending prayer vigils or worshipping at the church of televised news. But one bastion of alternative newscasting took a different tack.
"The civilized world was shocked today by the multiple acts of terrorism perpetrated on the United States," reported Naked News anchor Victoria Sinclair -- clad entirely in black.
In a special video announcement, Sinclair explained why the site's daily strip-tease newscast would not be presented. "We at The Naked News grieve over the loss of innocent lives and are all moved by the magnititude of the tragedy. So much so that we feel it appropriate to direct you to your televisions and radios in this time of crisis."

Johnnie Royale's Guide to Wakes
Wakes can present problems for Bad People of the Future. (If you don't know what a BPotF is, you need to read more of the PDJ.) Sure, your friend is gone and you miss him and that really sucks; it does, I know. But all Bad People of the Future are gonna die, and they have all accepted that fact. They do deserve, however, to have one final kickass party to celebrate all the bad things they've done in the past, present and future. And you, as a friend, have to make sure that their desire for a final send off is well executed (sorry for the pun). That's just the way of BPotFdom. (More...)

Spock Went, Spock Wrote, Spock Kicked Ass
Every Labor Day weekend a large portion of the PDJ staff joins 30,000 other freaks at one of the biggest and strangest art festivals in the world - Burning Man - somewhere on the edge of the Black Rock Desert. Our base of operations is always the ultra swank Spock Mountain Research Labs - the World Leaders in Beverage Science and Leisure Technology. This year, we hauled up our computers, printers and a massive digital duplicator, determined to become Black Rock City's third daily newspaper. Even Spock was surprised by our success - news will never be viewed the same on the playa. Read all seven issues of the 2002 Spock Science Monitor for yourself and see why. (More...)
