BALTIMORE, MD - Local joke-rag The Baltimore Crab received regional fame Saturday when The Baltimore Sun, the paper that reports the real news, published an article about the small fledgling fake news blog. The cover story in Saturday's Maryland section of the Sun appears to have given widespread attention to the sometimes half-witted and nonsensical blog.
"Wow, first off, I can't believe people are enjoying it, I honestly thought we'd be silenced right out of town." said the publisher of the Crab. "I cannot thank my loyal readers enough, even the readers inside the branches of local government that I poke fun at."
When asked to comment on statements made in the article saying that the Crab is not hard-hitting enough, the publisher responded, "Well Ed, I guess I should ask you, James, John, Josh, and the rest of you writers that same question since your the ones writing the stories. You're lucky I didn't fire your ass already for getting banned from City Hall."
When asked about the future the publisher said that the Crab is still only in its earliest of stages and planning is already underway for a more regular content schedule and a more structured method for publishing content. "Those are the things I can control to make the Crab more enjoyable to the readers, but, as long as people read it, I will continually look to make it better, but you Ed, are on thin ice."
