What is Portis' Motivation for This?

In the 90's the was a paper my roommate and would get for laughs - teh Worldwide Weekly. It was your typical grocery store aisle rag but was absolutely out there - "Aliens Ate My Dad's Head and Replaced it With a Watermelon" type stuff. They had photos, and sources, etc. but, essentially, as confirmed by one of their writers, they just sat around making up headlines and then writing stories based on them.

PFT = Football Equivalent of the Worldwide Weekly.
