About VanFLIP

What this is

VanFLIP is a satire publication. The stories are jokes, the premises are fictional, and the targets are usually public behavior, media habits, internet rituals, politics, entertainment, and whatever else has become too silly to treat normally.

The site has been running for years as a home for headlines, short fiction, polls, quizzes, and reviews written in the voice of a real news operation that has made several poor decisions.

The author names

VanFLIP bylines are fictional house voices. They help separate recurring tones and formats, but they are not intended to identify real reporters or imply real-world reporting.
