Nothing to See Here

Lindy and I have been sniggering over the large amount of non-news that seems to have been in the papers recently but I think I might just have found our winner.

STUNTMAN FAMILY PUT FAITH IN MEDICS.

This is the astounding story of a stuntman who was hurt in an accident. He is now in hospital.

Um.

Um, yeah. There is no content in that story. Unless it's an edited version and the original reporter was attacking them for not praying or something stupid?

NEWS HIT BY RECESSION.

Actual content, 'too expensive,' says VP.

(I think it was a bigger story yesterday on the Harry Potter angle. I suspect some editor had space to fill.)

Also. Am much enamoured of your Icon.

I nicked it from the Dawkins website forum, it is fun, don't get to use it much though, tends to annoy the non-insane religious folks too much...

[miss_dark]

Oh no! You shouldn't have said that! Now there will be an abundance of nasty news! Just like when you said "There's never any bombs in this country"

[dedbutdrmng]

Oops.

In trouble now...

We could direct him to say useful things like "Why is it no-one ever tries to maim Jim Davidson with a morningstar?" and "Jimmy Savile's still alive?".

The boy has a talent, it would be a shame to waste it.

You think that's bad. Last year the FRONT PAGE of our local paper was about a menace in the area who has been BURYING EGGS in people's front gardens for the last twelve years and still hasn't been caught.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

It's a good thing they are putting their trust in the medical team caring for their son ... but think of all the chicken faith healers there are out there, who are going to be hurt, very hurt, they weren't at the top of the list for consideration of curing this stuntman.
