The popular political satire website called TheWashingtonFancy.com has already made headlines in DC publications and has received attention from across the country.
Noah Miller, a junior at the University of Central Florida, got the idea to start the publication in May of last year with long time friend Alex Zafran a junior at George Washington University.
“The reason we came up with it was to encourage more involvement in the political system,” Miller said.
The Fancy has a staff of around 40, several of which are students at the University of Central Florida.
Maurice Wahba, an Information Technology major at UCF and website developer for the Fancy, got involved because he thought the idea was fresh and new.
“Humor is a passion of mine so The Washington Fancy was naturally a good fit. It’s been rewarding so far and I look forward to becoming an essential part of the team,” said Cesar Vallejo an advertising/public relations major at UCF and runs the marketing and social media for the site.
The site has already been featured on Washington DC publications like The Washington Times Communities and TBD.com.
The site’s creator said he hopes to bring humor to the tense GOP Presidential Primary and the upcoming 2012 Presidential election.
