Happy News? Or Startling Coincidence?
CNN has a riveting story about some dude ("Byron Reese") who created a website to cater to... happy news. Happynews.com delivers just the sort of brain-damaged, intravenous-feeding-tube news Americans love to read about. What can you expect to find at Happy News?
Poor Johnny Graham - he may have won a Silver medal at the Special Olympics, but he would never see his name in print on Happynews.com. For one thing, he's, technically, a loser. For another thing, he's a retarded kid with little hope for an independent future.

Way to keep it happy, guy!
