San Antonio, Texas - April 1, 2006 - Clear Channel Communications, Inc. (NYSE: CCU) today announced that Shmeng.com, the leading online cynical indulgence site, has been aquired by Clear Channel for an undisclosed ammount. Shmeng.com will continue to provide the best quality alternative content to its users with the full support and guidance from Clear Channel.
"Social networking sites have become a national phenomena and Shmeng.com is the premier community destination for cynics to connect online," said Devin, owner and self proclaimed diety of Shmeng.com. "Supporting a massive online audience that voraciously consumes and develops content is exactly what Clear Channel's content delivery network was designed to deliver. We're pleased to have a relationship with them to help serve their constantly growing audience."
Mark Mays, Chief Executive Officer of Clear Channel, stated "The merger provides the Company with a base for expanding into the growing market of the cynical and disillusioned. We expect this market to grow significantly before the next election, and we are now poised to compete in this arena in a way that few other major content providers are."
Shmeng.com is an online community connecting goths, punks, and other fashionable young people. Shmeng.com was founded by disgruntled Seattle transplant Devin in February 2001 as a way to vent about the annoying things people do. Shmeng is now among the Top 10 cynical venting sites on the Internet with nearly 2800 registered users. Shmeng is a privately held site and is headquartered in Hawaii.

Very well done... I was absolutely taken in when I first pulled up the page. Of course, I was also massively hammered on Chivas Regal at the time, so I'm not going to tattoo "gullible idiot" on my forehead quite yet. After sobering up and calming down a bit, I went back and forth for about twenty minutes over whether or not the misspelling of the word "acquire" in the press release had anything to do with its veracity.
It was only then that I looked at a calendar; which is odd since I had just gotten home after having spent 10 hours being wished a "Happy Lie Day" by children. Now I know what that was all about.
