Winnipeg- Winnipeg Fake News blogger Gaetan Harris has turned up in a city area hotel after a one and a half year hiatus. He claims to have lost "the shit" that is needed to write hilarious fake news.

"I guess somewhere down the road I just lost it," says the blogger, his speech slurred. "Must have been when I got hammered last April."


It has been widely speculated that Harris had been hiding out in a Uni-Bomber style shack in the Himalayas, playing Monopoly with the resident Yeti. Surrounded by back issues of Archie Comics, it has also been speculated he entertained the Dalai Lama regularly every Wednesday night.

"I haven't seen him in two weeks," says Mr. Lama. "He probably went back to try writing more stuff for his hilarious blog that he abandoned for eternal inner peace. That's good to hear, that stuff makes me laugh my ass off," he said.

Harris abandoned his blog in April 2006 after publishing a tear-jerkingly funny opinion piece about a businessman trying to get his morning cup of joe. After breaking into the Kokanee brewery in BC and having one hell of a party, he disappeared, leaving only a short note to his family.

"Getting the hell out of dodge," read the note. "Please send pizza pockets."

Since returning, Harris has reportedly enlisted himself in a program at Red River College, despite his drinking problem and habit of kleptomania. It has been speculated that Fake News will return now that his program requires him to write a whole hell of a lot.
