"The UnReal Times" is an Indian satire, spoof, parody and humour portal featuring satirical articles on politics, entertainment, cricket, media, international affairs and society. Founded in 2011, the portal publishes fake news reports, comic strips, mock transcripts, fake Facebook and Twitter conversations among other formats, marrying irreverent humour with biting satire in its commentary on current events. The Unreal Times has often been referred to as The Onion of India (after American satire portal The Onion), most notably by tech blog makeuseof.com. ==History== The UnReal Times was born in 14 April 2011,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=An interview with The Unreal Times founders : MagnaMags )〕 when the founders CS Krishna and Karthik Laxman, drained by months of mind-numbing work on a "Shadow Union Budget" under former Finance Minister, Yashwant Sinha, wrote an article titled "Government mulls direct cash transfers by dropping money bags from the sky" taking a dig at the government's much hyped Direct Cash Transfer schemes. Buoyed by the response to the article, the founders booked the domain name www.theunrealtimes.com, created the first version of The UnReal Times and began to publish one satirical article per day. Through social media websites, Facebook and Twitter, the website began to gain traction and rapidly grow in popularity, aided from time to time by viral articles such as "Manmohan Singham",〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.theunrealtimes.com/2011/07/16/video-watch-the-trailer-of-%E2%80%98manmohan-singham%E2%80%99-starring-dr-manmohan-singh/ )〕 "BCG hires McKinsey to advise it on how to become number 1",〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.theunrealtimes.com/2011/08/12/bcg-hires-mckinsey-to-advise-it-on-how-to-become-number-1/ )〕 "Journalist mistakenly interviews Bollywood actor Imran Khan instead of Pakistani cricket legend",〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.theunrealtimes.com/2011/09/15/journalist-mistakenly-interviews-bollywood-actor-imran-khan-instead-of-pakistani-cricket-legend/ )〕 "Stunning Revelation: West Indies' Cricket captain, Darren Sammy, is a Tamil Brahmin!"〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.theunrealtimes.com/2011/12/10/stunning1-revelation-west-indian-cricket-captain-darren-sammy-is-a-tam-bahm )〕 and so on.
