http://www.borowitzreport.com/IPO Imminent for FetaBook
ATHENS (The Borowitz Report) After struggling for months with an intractable financial crisis, Greece announced today that it would cease to exist as a sovereign nation and would instead reboot itself as a social network.
The new entity, FetaBook, is expected to raise much-needed billions in an upcoming IPO.
The social network formerly known as Greece announced that it would cancel its upcoming elections and instead install a CEO, a 24-year-old hacker from suburban Athens named Ciro Mavromatidis.
