Every day you get your local and/or national news, but most of the verbs, nouns, adverbs, and adjectives are replaced with blanks and you get to fill in your own.

"Bush signs peace treaty"

becomes, perhaps,

"Bush impregnates peace monkey"

Let the good times roll!

Newsreaders already present the news without mental strain to the audience.

Insofar as madlibs 'work'. I think they're asinine, but whatever turns your crank.
