Website Criticised For Bias
9 Apr 2002
World-famous news satire website "DeadBrain" has today denied allegations of bias following the publication of an article about the invasion of a possibly small, poor, defenceless Middle-east country and the kidnap of respected, loved and not even remotely insane MP Ann Widdecombe by nasty, evil, smelly terrorists.
The website, which has not been updated for several days due to a severe bout of laziness, was also criticised for using long and complex sentences in the previous paragraph, and indeed in this one, which – some might say – make its contents harder to read.
Dr Douglas Ramsbottom, Professor of Complex Sentence Structures, Grammar, the English Language, Literature and, Most of All, Commas, told DeadBrain not to do it again. Speaking to an increasingly confused reporter, Dr Ramsbottom said, "It is not for me to criticise the use of long, complex sentences, or indeed shorter sentences, or, perhaps, the use of any sentences at all, but – and I say this from the very bottom of my heart with the utmost sincerity – I've gone on so long, and not without reason, that I can't actually remember what my point was now, or indeed if I ever had one."
Excuse me, would you mind?
