So, What is “So, What’s News?” ?
So, What’s News? is a satirical & fictional news website. Our aim is to inject humor into everyday news to provide respite to readers who have grown weary with mainstream news organization’s partisan, biased and depressing way of presenting the news.
“So, What’s News’ news are news that won’t make you depressed to read the news”
So, What’s News? was started and founded on September 11, 2011 by me, Stewart as an outlet for my “humor”, “opinion” and “creativity” on different topics surrounding our everyday lives.

Apparently, most people, at least in my facebook feed, do not dig mock news. :L They’ve expressed rage against he anti-angry birds bill. Anyway, I’ve tried doing what you’re doing, but I can’t seem to update regularly. I’d like to share articles from the carcosite news network:

Wooot! I come in peace
I don’t know how long I’ll be able to update regularly as well, but as long as ideas are coming (news being the source helps, it never runs out), I’m just gonna type till my fingers sore.
Nice blog you got there as well. I hope the public will be open to mock news, because news as it is, is depressing in tone and delivery, especially on TV. Read some of your articles, and saw that you used aliases. Was pondering whether to use real or fictional names, so decided to use both.
More power to us
Hi, while i find your website amusing, i think that the way you present the articles is very risky, as they could easily be passed of as stories from a legitimate news website. Add to that, the medium you are using and a public crazy for sensationalist stories, the possibility of being taken seriously is very high (which could cause undue alarm and not to mention big trouble for you). Having said that, I suggest adding a disclaimer at the homepage, or if possible at the start of every article, saying that the materials presented are meant to be satirical and fictional. Hope you consider this, thanks!
true. hope you consider this suggestion. try putting a disclaimer at the end of the article so as to avoid confusion. including names of current government officials or public personalities add to the realism/ credibility of your satirical news which actually makes it funnier. however, this can cause confusion as people might actually believe that these are real news/information. there is freedom of speech but let’s not abuse it. just my two cents.
btw, funny stuff. almost believed the anti angry birds bill.
Thank you damnfine, hope you had a few laughs while you were here.
As for the disclaimer, there is already one at the bottom of each page (you might’ve missed it beacuse of the comments) and another one on the “So, what is So What’s News? ?” page at the top of each page.
God speed!
putting a disclaimer at the end of every page beats the purpose of writing satire. it doesn’t take a genius to know that the articles here are satirical. I was already laughing as soon as I saw the PETA pictures. Kudos!
Thanks!
LOL. Idol! Ang dami mong naging biktimang birds na nagwala. Hahahahaha..
like The Onion, right? to this day, many clueless readers think news there are real. i’m on the fence about that disclaimer at the end suggestion… true, many people will get offended and some very gullible readers will believe everything you write. but i also agree that it will kind of ruin the satire angle.
great work, though, funny stuff. takes a lot of talent to write satire.
I like the newest government agency assigned to Boy Abunda…

Ang galing ng pagkakasulat mo. Marami na ang nakakaalam nung Anti-Angry Birds Bill pero kung mababasa pa nila yung iba mong mga sulat, sigurado matatawa din sila. Nabasa ko yung interview mo sa “mgaepal”. Ayos! Hahaha. Pagbutihin mo pa ang ginagawa mo. Sana makapag-contribute din ako sa site mo minsan.
Salamat po sa papuri at pagtangkilik.
God speed
I love this site. Sana lumago pa toh at may mga kasama ka nang magsulat dito. Philippines needs good satire for all this bad news.
Indeed bad news are everywhere!
Who want to know that Angelica and Piolo were spotted in the LRT together?
Great site. Reading your stuff reminds me of NNTN from the 80s and Weekend Update on SNL.
Thank you sir! Hope to see you more often here on these parts
Talagang sir ha. Sir Bisyo at your serbis. Thanks for the follow. Keep on writing. Satire is a strange thing. We don’t always get it. That’s why we should read it more often. =)
