BOP on NYT Hoax:
Many of you will have recognized that this Times “Special Edition” is an

“A User’s Guide to Detournement”

“The Situationists and the New Forms of Action Against Politics and Art”
http://www.bopsecrets.org/SI/11.newforms.htm
Then compare and contrast the “New York Times” scandal with situationists’
notorious “Strasbourg scandal”, which helped prepare the way for the May
1968 revolt in France:
