I have found it very informative and helpful to take a news story at
random and changing key words in order to reduce its meaning.
Its very simple and here is an example:
First the normal story:
'Iron Mike' Tyson Files for Bankruptcy
Sun Aug 3, 3:40 PM ET Add Top Stories - Reuters to My Yahoo!
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Troubled boxing champ Mike Tyson, once estimated
to be worth at least $300 million, has filed for bankruptcy in an
attempt to bring some order to his finances, his lawyer said on
Sunday.
Tyson, currently facing assault and disorderly conduct charges
stemming from a scuffle in a Brooklyn hotel in June, filed for Chapter
11 bankruptcy protection in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Manhattan on
Friday, according to his attorney, Debra Grassgreen.
The one-time heavyweight boxing champion -- who served three years in
prison in the mid-1990s on a rape conviction and was suspended from
professional boxing for biting the ears of heavyweight boxer Evander
Holyfield during a 1997 bout -- opted for bankruptcy after years of
financial mismanagement and free spending habits that burned through
hundreds of millions of dollars in earnings.
AND NOW THE CORRECTED VERSION WITH REPLACED WORDS CRAPITALIZED:
'Iron Mike' Tyson Files for Bankruptcy

And then starting a news service which just spews meaningless drivel
that is somehow related to the news, very current and topical but
nobody knows how or why it's so strange. And sometimes you could
insert weird political commentary in there and people would not know
and then we could brainwash them just like AP and the Capitalist News
Network.
