..This isn't technically about fa-shun, but it's the perfect example of how not to write.
..Or as I like to call it, "This is what happens when you ain't got no editor."

..I initially posted it in Randomness, but think it works better here.
..Funniest thing I've seen in a long time..

..a rain of blows

Hee! yeah, thought so, too – then noticed ALL their stories read like that – though they claim to be based in Denver, Colorado! Makes no sense. I decided it had to be a spoof site. It's just too good.

Any website calling itself DailyGossip.org and operating under a company name called "Ironclad Integrity Unlimited, Ltd", lol, has to be as legit as The Onion.

I can't figure them out, but maybe that's what makes their brand of WTF even better..

A few of the best-worst:

this is bizarre.. I googled the name, and turns out the same "company" has a dozen sketchy looking news/webzines with equally crappy stories, some of the haven't been updated for months. according to google maps, the street in their address doesn't exist - wtf?

i wonder if it is an automated journalism kind of thing

[interest1]

/\ I've never even heard of that. And here I thought our nation's gossip was being outsourced to India..

To the power of 20. Orders of magnitude.

Hum?? What is the objection here? An order of a magnitude is a normal way of describing a quantity. It is not 10x but, rather, x^10. At last "the the power x^20 is specific" versus "get the boys with this seasons booming, bloomin' florals," which is not.

What are you an anti-intellectual or something, or post-math? I'm still pretty into math...math rock, that is.

Hum?? What is the objection here? ..
