How is this news, exactly?

Nah, I'm just kidding. This is quite amusing.

Next, do an article entirely in Al Bhed.
In what?
Oh! oh! pick me! I know!

It's the made up language the al bhed people in final fantasy x speak. You slowly learn to understand it over the course of the story by finding books. It's actually just English but every letter gets replaced by a different one like a->x, c->h,... Several final fantasy fansites feature a translator.
I don't see how an al bhed article would be funny though. It'd just be jibberish.
You would be correct. The shifting of letters to make up a code in that context is called a "cipher".

So yeah, Al Bhed is an English cipher "spoken" by the Al Bhed people in Final Fantasy X.

And Final Fantasy X-2, I guess. If you want to acknowledge that game.

The fantasy language of the fictional Al Bhed race in Final Fantasy X.

It's a just a letter cipher though. [http://www.pixelscapes.com/twoflower/albhed.html]
