For all you contest-loving-fools, the funny, funny folks over at I Got News For You have a big fake news writing contest.

Prizes include lots of web goodies, and the chance to make a splash in big fake headlines. Here's the best part: You can enter as many times as you like!

I discovered I Got News For You over the weekend, reading the site's hardboiled dream to "Get Rich or Die Tryin'." "Super tough-guy, that's me. Heh," emailed Ben Yoskovitz, co-founder of the site.

In honor of super tough-guy bloggers, here are some pulp fiction covers for some famous, not-so-tough-guy books over at Slate.com.

Jason -- thanks for the plug to our contest.

Although I have to say, this link in your post, "big fake news writing contest" makes it sound like the contest is fake! *laugh*

It's not *smile*

And I am a super tough guy...really...seriously...don't test me...

Thanks again!

Hey Jason,

It'd be great if I could get in touch with you directly -- the email address listed on this site (which is fairly buried too) seems generic.

Can you shoot me an email when you get a chance? I'd love to get some feedback from you on IGotNewsForYou.

Thanks!
