''Lush For Life'' was a bi-weekly comedy/satirical newspaper distributed in the Tampa Bay area. The newspaper was run by college students and targeted Universities and Community Colleges in the area. ''Lush For Life'' claimed a regional print circulation of 20,000 and said it targeted the “prime demographic of 18 to 44 years olds". The paper, while quite small by the standards of other comedy publication such as ''The Onion'' and the ''Weekly World News'', planned to grow rapidly through the South East United States and also spread to larger metropolitan markets like New York and San Francisco. From their (site ):
While clearly untrue, this is a good example of their style of humor. Lush For Life parodied a traditional newspaper in format and style. With fake news, sports, entertainment and Op-ed sections as well as fake letters to the editor, and bizarre, made-up advice columns. ==History== Lush For Life began as a website and then moved to print, normally the opposite for the industry. The site was started by the a group of college students as a way to work on writing projects together when one of the group was living in Japan, teaching English. The first story uploaded on to the site, as a test, was a fake news story. When the story began to circulate on the Internet, the group of friends decided to turn the writing project into a fake news site. What started off being a hobby was now becoming a business with advertising and Lush For Life merchandise being sold. As most of the group worked for the University of South Florida's student publication, ''The Oracle'', they had the skills required to take the concept to print. In late 2006, the group formed an LLC and began to print, using ''The Lakeland Ledger'' as their printer. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Lush for Life」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
