              <p>Bay Area, CA - The Wired Press, best known for their witty stories, 
                clever headlines and sporadic publishing schedule, realized today, 
                April 26th, that they had forgotten to concoct an article for 
                the infamous day of 420, which is known to the sober world as 
                April 20th.</p>
              <p>Clark Brandon, lead writer for the Wired Press, told the WP that 
                he had written down a few ideas for the day, but could not find 
                his list, which he says must have been hidden under his bags of 
                Doritos and Soft Batch cookies. Being that the ideas were scrawled 
                on a Zig Zag, Brandon says it is also possible that the list, 
                itself, may be gone for good.</p>
              <p>&quot;I talked to Curtis just the day before, and he mentioned 
                that we should come up with some killer ideas for 420. Being a 
                whore for traffic, he seemed genuinely excited by the thought 
                of exploiting 420 for the sake of advertising revenue. But then.. 
                when the.. um.. fuck. ..you gonna eat that? What were we talking 
                about again?&quot;</p>
              <p>Blix Panda, another writer for the Wired Press, claims that he 
                sent Curtis a couple stories, but realized his efforts were futile 
                when the replies he received from Curtis were vaguely recognizable 
                as English and almost completely incoherent.</p>
