NOTE! We've printed the selected stories to newspapers for the Berlin and Cannes film festivals. We have since set up "The Truth Online" website to publish even more of the articles. So keep them coming!
The online edition is: http://www.thetruthonline.info

Calling out for writers to contribute satirical news stories for a mock news paper set in the Earth 2018 of the Iron Sky movie.
We are looking for amateur & professional writers to write short news stories for a free mock-newspaper that will be printed and spread out during Berlin Film Festival 2009 as a promotional item for Iron Sky.
The format of the paper is like the free Metro newspaper, but the stories can be satirical, as long as they are believeable in some way. The main article in the paper is: ”NAZIS FROM THE MOON ATTACKING EARTH”.
The newspaper is set on Earth, and before this edition, nobody (at least the big public) has known anything about the Nazi threat.
Length of the articles is supposed to be between 500-2500 characters, and the language should be English. Subjects can be around any topic you can find from a normal newspaper: news, culture, sports, entertainment etc. The style can be, but is not limited to, satirical (take a look at The Onion online newspaper for a reference).
If your story ends up to the paper, your name will of course be printed (unless you specifically don't want to), and we'll send you a physical copy of the paper after it's out of the print.
NOTE: PICTURES!
Writers can suggest pictures to go along with the stories, but it's important that they are released under a Creative Commons license which allows the use of the images. Also, you can add as a comment your own picture ideas to the stories submitted here. But keep in mind, we need to have the rights to release them.
The online world is no longer safe. Where it used to be a walk in the park now can costs you your money, even your life. Online games community totally agreed with this report. Cyber criminals hit their victims for their cash and equipment. Whether it is gold, diamond, credits or just a simple magical wand, red/blue potions and even rare items. Some of these criminals operates individually but some others formed some groups, big and small. While smaller groups may just use unicorns, larger groups can attack you using tanks. A more frightening report indicates that some of the sindycates are using Spaceships to attack its victims.

Glade, the world's leading manufacturer of air fresheners, today announced a major new range of products: Personal Plug-Ins(TM).
"We're very excited to be launching this exciting new product" said a spokesperson, "In the past we've had to deal with ambient scent issues after the unfortunate event has already happened. But with Personal Plug-Ins(TM) we can tackle the problem at its source."
Worn inside the rear portion of underwear, the PPI(TM) traps the user's flatus, and instead releases one of five pleasant artificial scents including Misty Pine, Secluded Valley, Tropical Beach, Arctic Ice and Spicy Pineapple.
"This is great!" exclaimed a satisfied customer, "Since I got my first batch of PPIs I've been farting as much as possible. The wife loves it, and of course it's very popular at parties too."
"We intend to expand our PPI product line in the very near future." said a Glade spokesperson, "In fact, we can reveal that we are in talks with leading scent brands such as Calvin Klein and Tommy Hilfiger to create a designer range of PPIs. We want to turn the act of flatulence into a fashion statement."

After the demo of the tiny CN Tower, Canada is starting construction of the CN Tower-Tower, an office/apartment/recreation building which will be 20,500 feet tall, still dwarfed by the Burj-Burj Dubai, which is 30,715 feet, not including the spire.
Stay tuned for more updates.
UnderSea Cruises has unveiled it's jaw-dropping proposal to build a 715-foot submarine cruise ship.
Of course, features are limited due to the fact that there is not much space because of the 4 Rudder-Prop engines, which require over 1,200 Square Feet.
But getting on to the features themselves, a two deck swimming pool, an aquarium, triplex suites and duplex suites, over 400 staterooms, a small water park, conservatory, discos and restaurants.
Those amenities are laugh-out-loud, due to today's amazing inventions like Air Parks (Parks with rides using air, like the Blaster-Plaster) and Waitraunts (Eateries where you do anything but 'Rest')
Stay tuned for more updates!
