Spoof: “Harbor” enhanced edition

Newsweek magazine, in an apparent spoof of itself, began running a “Web Exclusive” on its Internet site Wednesday, saying that the Walt Disney Co. is planning to spend an additional $145 million on an “enhanced edition” of Pearl Harbor that will be “longer, louder and dumber” than the original and will be the “most historically inaccurate” movie ever made. The article said that a number of big stars will be added to the film, including the musical groups ‘N Sync and the Backstreet Boys “who will appear together in an exciting ‘battle of the bands’ sequence during which they will be struck by Japanese bombs and perish. “The sequence ‘tested through the roof,'” according to the satirical piece, which Newsweek credited to “The Borowitz Report.”
