Chrysler, a Communist Organisation?

hammer and sickle

It was revealed today by the business watchdog group, Stop Commies Acquiring Businesses (SCAB), that they believe the United Auto Workers, a union, may be lobbying to buy Fiat's 20 percent stake in Chrysler. That would leave 10 percent in government hands (US and Canadian) 75 percent in UAW hands and a further 15 percent possibly in the hands of anarchists or pinkos or someone. Chrysler would then be the only car manufacturer since Lada operated by communists.

Gay Pride Parade "Toned Down"?

The lobby group, People Offended Often (POO), issued a call to local and national politicians to act immediately to tone down Pride Week festivities across the country. Spokes person Lenny Torbunkel stated: "We realise that unfortunately we can't stop these things from happening but do they have to be so gay?" POO would like the parades to be low key and preferably held in out of the way places where no one can see them. They call for a dress code of "casual business attire" for men and "plain dresses" for the ladies ONLY.

New Guidelines for Hot

hot enough for ya?

New guidelines have been issued for deciding what is "hot" and what isn't. Recently there has been a marked decline in the quality of "hot" things with certain things (such as Paris Hilton, again,) making into the news and onto the internet as "hot" when they are clearly tepid or lukewarm (37C in the case of Paris- Hilton that is, the city is currently 16C) at best and some are (as in the case of Lohan/Ronson) flat out cold.
The new guidelines will come into effect next week.
