Drones are the new internet

Take this one with a healthy dose of skepticism: a French postal service plans to deliver newspapers by drone.

This was reported on several different news sites, and is even on the company’s blog in an undated post. But given what yesterday was, we are far from sure about this one. If it’s real, it’s a wonder the U.S. Postal Service hasn’t announced something similar. The only reason this seems remotely possible is that the French don’t have good ideas, and they’re one of the few countries in the world lazier than us.

Then, of course, there’s utter impracticality of the whole plan. So let’s just say several U.S. news media outlets just got pranked.
