Following is a collection of scans from a promotional "newspaper" for <a href="http://osmosisjones.warnerbros.com/">Osmosis Jones</a> (which opened to U.S. theatres yesterday) which was distributed to attendees of the San Diego Comic-Con International last month.

<H1>HEADLINE: FRANK TO GET WINGS!</H1>
This newspaper spoof is filled with puns, none-too-subtle subtle bodily function-related gags, and the sort of humor used throughout the movie. In fact, some of the movie's most amusing moments are reported in it as news articles written in a journalistic style, which is what makes it such a clever and amusing marketing tactic. It really does represent the movie well.
Just be warned - if you haven't seen the movie yet - these scans do include a number of spoilers of gags and plot points in the movie.
It's scanned in columns, rather than as a whole because it was too large to fit on my scanner. And please bear in mind that if you have a slower connection speed, these images will take a bit to finish loading.
