* The video for A Perfect Circle's [[The Cover Changes the Meaning|creepy cover of "Imagine"]] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dunKAwRN3P8 has a fake news crawl].

* The song "Bad Day" by [[REM]] has a video that spoofs news reports, complete with a crawl filled with spoof news items such as "[[Doctor Who]] was born in 1937, could be expected to live for many more years even if he was captured".

 

== Video Games ==

* ''[[SimCity]] 3000'' has a news ticker which alternates between items giving genuine information about how you're doing and daft stories such as "Mayor denies kitty kibble shortage". And if you had disasters enabled, you'd better pay attention to the ticker, 'cuz if it says something about earth rumblings, crop circles, rowdy demonstrations or malfunctioning satellites, ''it's time to smash the doomsday siren button!''

** Ditto for ''[[SimCity]] 4'', albeit vertically-scrolling and with less kitty kibble shortage.

* The ''[[Cyanide & Happiness]]'' short, The Weatherman has one that is filled with jokes.
