The Age says you are fat, and take drugs when nervous!

2010-02-07T04:33:00.000-08:00

''It's quite clear that we got ourselves through this recession by binging on drinks, drugs and burgers"

The marvelous sensationalists of Australian leftist media outlet, The Age are at it again. From a single survey and two purported 'experts' Richard Webb has deduced that during the Global Financial Crisis Australians "...painted on a happy face, popped a few pills then buried our sorrows in booze and junk food."

But whats even weirder is the way this 'journalism' (if you could call it that) somehow manages to metamorphosis into an Apple plug:

''We are about a year off open warfare between new technology and old,'' he says. He predicts that in two to three years' time this transition will reach a tipping point, ''then everyone will have to have a Kindle or an iPad''.

In year 9 Richard, I was continually reminded how important it was to link paragraphs in a piece, but hey! if a writer for the Age doesn't have to do it then why should I?

Nice work Richard

Update: Dave the Banker

2010-02-04T21:20:00.000-08:00

In an about face possibly due to public pressure, Macquarie Bank has spared mid employee David Kiely, affectionately labeled 'Dave the banker' by media outlets. Dave rose to notoriety after scrolling through pics of Miranda Kerr

All we can say is, what next? Porn policy at your workplace? Sounds good :)

Is it possible to agree with Hitler?

Hitler was right about one thing, the iPad sucks...
Disagree? drop a comment

Do you have your rights at Work...to view porn?

Media outlets such as The Age and Herald Sun have jumped on recent controversy enveloping unfortunate Macquarie employee, David Kiely who was sprung during a live telecast "...looking at semi-nude pictures of Australian model Miranda Kerr on his computer..."

You can see Kiely left, caught in the act

But as online group, Here Is The City, launches an online campaign to save the job of procrastinating Kiely, Several questions come to mind: is Keily liable if Macquarie aren't filtering undesirable sites, is he really just one of millions of lazy, desperate accountants worldwide and is Aussie Miranda Kerr just too damn irresistible? Time will tell...

Facebook, the neccesary evil...

As a project in social engineering, and largely as a good humored joke (because thats what we're about, humor!) the authors here at SatireSpot have created their very own Facebook Page.

Now, for anyone who has been in cryogenic suspension for the last 20 years hoping to wake to a brighter future, a facebook page is as its name suggests a page on facebook used to advertise and garner support for a brand, business, politician etc.

So we decided to create one. For this task we chose the most ridiculous product we could imagine and tried (in all seriousness) to argue it was the cause of our favourite conspiracy. Impossible you might exclaim? Well we were horrified too when more than 110,000 facebook users agreed with us that the cleaning product, 'Shamwow' was in fact the cause of Droughts, not Global Warming as several scowling scientists might argue.

We at SatireSpot are greatly thankful for those informed users who chose to become fans of our page. It is a constant source of amusement for us but on a deeper note the page has also sparked actual debate about climate change, often with humorous results.

Woody Allen once said:

"...the tendency for most people is to fall back on a comic interpretation of things...things are so sad, so terrible. If you didn't laugh you'd kill yourself."

And for that reason we chose to call this 'SatireSpot' rather than 'politics blog x or politics blog y'.

For In the jungle of society in which the deadly political correctness virus runs rampant and people are terrified by government spin-doctors and economic meltdowns, the authors here at SatireSpot prefer humor to scaremongering.

In a liberal-democratic society we should not have feelings of anger, hatred or even fear for politicians, bureaucrats and intellectuals. Instead we should treat them as a source of humor rather than alarm.

For instance a UK government survey found "Two-thirds of people aged between 25 and 34 said they were stressed about general money problems...A third of those questioned in the YouGov survey managed only six hours of sleep, or less, a night."

It's official, worrying will kill you, so why not laugh instead:

Our blog encompasses all things relating to contemporary society, namely politics and environment.

So if something we have written has struck a chord with you go ahead and follow, on the contrary, if you wish to abuse us then go ahead, Free Country (for now)
