I posted the link on your Web site for some friends to read with the question, "Is this authentic?" Then, after a bit of research, I was disappointed to find the image [with the story] of the "freeze-drying machine" -- which is simply a Photoshopped image of an iron lung. How disappointing!

Now, I don't always turn to New Times for "fair and balanced" journalism. Come on, now, publishing a story of such bunkness on the cover absolutely removes any credibility you ever had, in my eyes. My only hope is that Esteban Sauer simply made a journalistic mistake and didn't research his story. Then again, that would be very sad.

Nonetheless, it was a fantastic work of fiction. In particular, the image of the woman with the "skin" on her pillow made my skin crawl.
