| | SARS outbreak offers new opportunities for idiots to prove themselves
14 May 2003 by Jonathan Williams
Idiot groups are today celebrating the continued prominence of SARS in the popular media. Although the acronym stands for Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome, plucky idiots have fully grasped the opportunity to display their stupidity.
"It's been wonderful," announced idiot leader Dean Doyle. "We've been able to write 'SARs' as if we were pluralizing a SAR, whatever that is, and some of our members have even managed to nudge in the wholly ludicrous 'SAR's'. Brilliant."
The letter 'S' remains favoured by idiots, who have found numerous opportunities to confuse themselves between the plural and the possessive. "AIDS has been pretty quiet recently," explained Doyle, "and so we've had to rely on the usual outlets to display our ignorance of the most basic principles of grammar in this regard."
While many have welcomed the fame of SARS, others look forward to a major news story that features a vowel followed by an 'S', a minor confusion that idiots relish. Doyle explains: "I work as greengrocer and just love to write 'tomato's' or even 'zucchini's'. I would love to be able to display that stupidity on a larger scale."
