Alternate universe Beatles history


This is an extremely well written of an alternate universe Beatles history up to the present day. In this universe, the Beatles reunite after an appearance at Saturday Night Live, whose host Lorne Michaels mockingly offered 3000$ for a reunion concert. The Beatles continue to put out a couple of albums, John Lennon isn't shot in 1980, and Ringo Starr turns out to be a time traveller whose mission is to warn the "other" Ringo about the tragic events in "our" universe. Amazing!

Alternate history TV series


More greatness by The Onion:

NEW MUNICH—The new Sci-Fi Channel series Fallen Axis, which eerily depicts a world in which Germany actually lost the Second World War, premiered Tuesday evening to high ratings in an alternate universe to our own.

The much-anticipated television event is said to be the most ambitious ever produced by the science-fiction-themed network, which is a subsidiary of the Aryan Broadcasting Company. According to the early response, audiences in the alternate realm have been riveted by the show's vision of an inverted existence wherein a defeated Germany has been completely neutered by the Allied powers.

"Imagine, if you will, a world in which Hitler's glorious master plan had instead ended in ignominious failure, and the Allies had somehow emerged the victors," the show's creator, Leonhardt Riefenstahl, said during an appearance on Entertainment Heute Nacht. "It would be as if everything we know to be true—the fall of Russia, the invasion and surrender of the American continents, Heinrich Braun-Hitler's consolidation of the various conquered states in 1973—had never even happened."
