Brisbane, Australia - Identified on a local web forum, most major news publications across the country and indeed the world now run their own web sites to provide news to the public. With a striking turn of events, spokespeople from the news publications had this to say.

"We've now seen how much stress it causes when individual people need to post news items themselves, so we've designed these newspaper portals to allow the general public to check the news when they want and on their own time without cluttering up their user forums."

Forum administrators were overjoyed to hear the news and the administrator of a popular gaming site was happy to say that post counts have now returned to normal

Hahaha

I see what you did there...

hahahah, agreed.

in breaking news ticman has discovered sarcasm... *golf clap*

i cant find the articles at those sources

well, i was about to make the comparison of tahakin kahn to our much beloved hunter in regards to his f*****y news posts

hahahahahahaha thats f***ing gold!!!

You sir are a master of wit. Well played old man.

hahah i was so going to do that myself been thinking about it all day
but thats worded so much better than i could've well done :)

owned

I like Tanaka's posts, I cbf reading news sites all day

Yeah, me too. He puts "news" at the front of his post and labels it with a title...if u don't like reading the news here, don't open it.

BTW, didn't we all have this discussion the other day...

Haha, I like your style.

It is funny even you do like reading the news posts.

I have no problems with his posts but I have to admit this is pretty funny. Nicely written

Agent 99 loves Tanaka Kahn!!

I like the news posts too, but it was a slow day at work :)

quality parody.

good work

Great one Tic, very well done =)

Trog - I like Tanaka's posts, I cbf reading news sites all day

Well, until i get the word from the big man here to lay off the news threads, guess what?? =)

haha
its funny, coz its true

yes, well played tic :)

funny stuff there

yeah tanaka seems to pretty much duplicate the "oddball" stories of the major news sites but I agree that when you click on one of these threads you know what to expect

I'm just going to explain this one final time too, I dont make these posts to up my post count in any way, I make these posts because I feel that the articles are interesting, educational and in some cases humorous. Admittedly yes, people have access to these sites and may read them, but my hopes are that people will want to discuss the topic mentioned. Some times i hit, and some times i miss but while there are some of you that may enjoy them, i'll keep making them (It's not as if I make them every day too, if you would care to scroll back and see).
As you will notice they now have the "NEWS" title in them, so those of you who have a problem with discussing current events can avoid reading and posting in them. Feel free to troll and flame me as some of you may well do, but it wont stop me from posting, and quite frankly, its rather boring and unoriginal stuff too, and I won't be responding to that garbage anymore.

BTW - It was a great parody thread Tic, I feel honored...next meet and greet i can attend I'll shout you a beer! Plus thanks for the SMH link, i havnt used their stuff yet, so get ready for more!

oh you guys

Free beer? I'm there! Except for this Friday night when I'm on call and can't afford to move from in front of the PC let alone goto the pub.

LOL, I'm working this friday so I can't make it, but next one I can attend =)
