New Times LA's Spoof Riles NBCnew
"I hope it gets people to think about the
nature of television and the
business that it does." So says Tony
Ortega, a New Times LA writer who

series starring the two California
teenagers whose recent abduction and

year by two local officials targeted in
a
similar spoof.

announced plans to
demolish their home to
make way for
multi-million dollar apartments. New Times
Broward/Palm Beach staff writer Eric Alan Barton reports how this threat brought the residents together in their own
strange, strange way.
