Newslore - Contemporary Folklore on the Internet

Newslore is folklore that comments on and hinges on knowledge of current events. Russell Frank offers a snapshot of the items of newslore disseminated via the Internet that gained the widest currency around the turn of the millennium. Among the newsmakers lampooned in e-mails and on the Web were the Clintons, George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, Osama bin Laden and Saddam Hussein.
