A week ago I met up with my friend at Club Why. He had written a
article that made it to the Times, so I went to congratulate him...
I saw him talking with his friends about how he lied in his article,
and they still accepted it. I went up to him and asked, "So you lied in
your article?" He replied with a yes.
He then said all those people who tell the truth make such boring
articles. I wanted something really really cool, he said.
I went to his article to click on the BBS, and there were a lot of
posts saying it was so fake... good, but so unrealistic. One post even
said it was a terrible article, that this could never happen on
Whyville.
I went back to Club Why and told my friend to look at the BBS. He said
that from now on he would always write truthful articles.
That is a lesson to be learned for all you journalists. It is better to
write a boring truthful article than cool lie.

Note: Thanks, Hotboi764. Just to let you all know, when we find
plagiarists or people who make stuff up in what they submit to the Times, they are quietly put on a list of people who will never be published in Whyville. If you think you have to lie to say something interesting, you're really missing out -- there're plenty of totally
fascinating real life events and people and stories out there that don't
need to be faked. I dare you to go find them. :-)
