LALATimes see$ the future

The spoofy LALATimes, slogan "everything absurd under the sun," is looking for "a bone fide publisher and investors to guide and support it through its upcoming expansion," says a press release dated today.

With significantly increasing traffic to the site (10,000 unique readers per month), The LALA Times has gained considerable notoriety since its quiet launch in 2002. KPFK radio recently featured LALA Times' Founder George Wolfe on a series of shows, and media as distant as Swiss Public Radio have described Wolfe as one of California’s most notable satirists.

The site even has a publicist. Stories currently up include "Dog Meditation: All the Rage in L.A." and "Migrant Workers Scrub Dirty Ring-Around-The-Valley."
