Hidden Blog Gains Obscure Award

Hidden Blog received the Beloved Fake News Award by the Emancipated Parental Association on Friday.

The announcement was released from the EPA's national headquarters in Woodford County Illinois. Because EPA membership fluctuates wildly on a daily basis depending on the availability of sitters, it was unclear at press time exactly how recipients were chosen, how many candidates were eligible, or whether the EPA will exist in the morning.

In addition to the "Beloved" honor bestowed upon its fake news reporting, it also earned trophies for "Disinterested" in the category of sports-related stuff and "Eh" for its abundance of celebrity quotes.

"Fabrication is the thread of the American fabric we wear from birth," wrote LeBron Obama, neither celebrity nor sports enthusiast. "American pride has depended upon phony stories since the days of the supposed ride of Paul Revere. And Hidden Blog continues that spirit of patriotism today, in a fashion both fiercely local and passionately self-centered."

A formal award ceremony is scheduled for Friday evening, as long as it's over by 10ish, unless there's an emergency at home beforehand.

None of the blog's nine followers were reached for comment.

Hear, hear! As President of the EPA, I also give a Lifetime Achievement Award to your film reviews. Move over, Roger & Ebert. Wait, one of those is dead. Or maybe it's Roeper. Whatever.
