Chronicles of the First Celtic-Lemur Galactic War: Apr 12, 7:37am 7 reviews satire, aliens, lemurs, thanes
http://thamus.blogspot.com/; The Rolling Thanes launch new album for Fetid Species Awareness Week So I return from my travels to find much commotion in Castle Thomond. It seems the evil leader of the malodorous lemurs (e.g., viz. EMMUTTMAX, op. cit., ibid.) has caused extreme irritation by attempting to upstage the much heralded world tour by the Celtic rock legends, The Rolling Thanes. The tour marks the launch of their bestselling album Lambasting the Lemur in honour of Fetid Species Awareness Week. It seems that in the absence of the Thane leader abroad, the fiddling furball produced an anemic pirate version of our album cover and attempted to pass it off as some "Made in Madagascar" ripoff by so-called "Stoned Lemurs" and titled Music By Which to Malign Thanes. As is obvious from the superior quality of the Rolling Thanes album, nobody will be fooled by the hastily cobbled fabrication, coming from a species that considers nit-picking an artistic (probably even musical) activity. True, lemurs are permanently stoned, but no one is likely to pay for recordings of the discordant sounds emanating from their disgusting bodies. The title track of the Rolling Thanes album, Let's Spend the Night Lambasting Lemurs, has already climbed to the top of the Celtic charts, and the follow-up track Little Rank Rodents is especially popular in the Thomond cat community. With something for everyone, jazz fans have been raving about the Rolling Thanes venture into their field with the toe-tapping Horny Tonk Lemur and the catchy Tell Me You're Fucking Off has become just that with young Celtic warriors - a cool popular catch-phrase. While reviewers declare themselves mightily pleased with Lambasting the Lemur, I must confess that for myself, the Rolling Thanes greatest song will always be the early smash hit that launched them - I Can't Get No Rat in Traction (and I tried). [For newcomers who have no idea what's going on here, the first (sticky) post at the Chronicles of the Celtic-Lemur Galactic War explains all. Speaking of which, if you want to help me get that rat in traction, here's where you need to go]

Who Writes This Crap & Home: Nov 22, 2007 11:10am 1 review writing, satire
http://whowritesthiscrap.campaignserver.co.uk/; Who writes this crap? This delightful British site is a rogue's gallery of everyday writing. It could be an anodyne anecdote on a breakfast cereal box or a pretentious restaurant menu. It might be a disturbingly illiterate newspaper ad, [right], or a letter from officialdom's Ministry of Kafka that is so tangled in jargon you can't be sure if you've been evicted or have won the state lottery. Whatever - this site puts it online for all the world to marvel at and cry out, "Author! Author! Off with his head!" Quote: "This stuff - this useless, drab, disposable stuff - is the poetry of the modern world. It's our shared heritage and our collective guilty secret. Why should we filter out every piece of spam that lands in our inbox? Why should we bin every flyer? We need to get this stuff out in the open. Let's hoard it. Let's celebrate it. Let's tear it apart." Take this genuinely cretinous ad here for an acne "cure." As the WhoWritesThisCrap site point out with glee: Quote: "Saddest of all is the refund offer at the bottom of the ad. Just imagine - in a fit of desperation, you order these pills. Then, for the next 6 to 8 weeks, you wait by the letterbox, and finally, they arrive. You grab them from the postman's hand, neck a dozen of them, and wait. And they don't work. You take some more. Still nothing. So there you are, weeks later, sitting on the toilet for hour after lonely hour, in agony with severe abdominal cramps, still covered in unsightly pus-filled boils, clutching a crumpled fifty dollar bill." And in your misery, all you can wonder is - "Who wrote this crap?"

http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/ap/world/4096389.html; The Dogs at War VII Satirists are pouring their energies into the war effort, helping Israelis blow off steam by poking fun at their politicians and generals, and of course at Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah. But although Israel prides itself on laughing at absolutely anything, some critics are charging that Israeli satirists are making do with cheap shots at easy targets and are pulling their punches on the real issues of the day.
