Not if the piece itself is called "fictitious," because that would mean that the piece itself does not exist. But who cares, anyway? <g>

The 'news' is fictitious, the article is real. A real satire. As you know, you bad boy.

FICTITIOUS: "...not real, pretended, false, non-existent." Does this not apply to a purported "news" article that reports on PETA Commandos killing 49 people to save ONE rabbit? NO. NO. NO. The CONTENT of the article was fictitious. The event it purported to report on was not real, pretended, false, non-existent. But the ARTICLE was very real. It existed. It was an actual, real article about a fictitious event. But it was NOT a fictitious article. You lose. Warm up that orange sauce.
