The Poke
The Poke is a British satirical website. It was launched in 2002 as a fanzine distributed at the Edinburgh Festival and independent music stores. The website is known for producing viral videos, which are often Auto-Tune edits of British current affairs.
==History==
''The Poke'' began as a fanzine with a circulation of 50,000 that was sold in music shops across the United Kingdom and at the annual Edinburgh Festival. Later becoming an internet-only publication, the website gained some popularity when it was featured as a 'Internet Pick Of The Week' on The Guardian website, in which it was compared to "a British version of The Onion crossed with Private Eye". The site was named 'Website of the day' by ''pocket-lint.com'' on 19 January 2012.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=WEBSITE OF THE DAY: The Poke )〕
The red-top look of the site means there have been cases of the sites fictional, parodical news stories being misinterpreted as real news items. In January 2012, a number of French news organisations including ''Le Parisien'' and ''L’Express'' reported on an August 2011 article by ''The Poke'' about a BBC Sign language interpreter being fired from her job for 'fabricating news' as a genuine story. French radio broadcasters RTL and France Info also reported the story as real, and television broadcaster Canal + featuring the fictitious 'scandal' on an evening news programme.
