Line 22: == Music == * [[Chamillionaire]]'s video for ''Hip Hop Police'' runs the names of rappers wanted by police on a fake news program's crawl. * 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". Line 29: == Video Games == * In a trailer of sorts for the ''The Lost and Damned'' ~~download~~downloadable content for ''~~GTAIV~~[[Grand Theft Auto IV]]'', done in the style of a Weazel News report, talks about bikers causing violence while the crawl below reads things like 'Laid off worker gets laid', 'Stimulus package includes vibrator', and 'Bologna recall totally fucks worker's lunch plan' among others. And it's done again in a similar trailer for The Ballad of Gay Tony, with the main report focusing on illegal guns trade while the crawl has lines like 'Swine Flu scared by woman in mask' and 'Parents demand school closing - saying public education is socialism'. However, there is at least one that [[Dude, Not Funny\|goes too far]]: [[Unfortunate Implications\|'Middle class to Congress: We don't want health care!']] * ''[[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.
