March 23, 2006 on its head

In the world of blogging, there are ways to do things and then there are ways not to do things. In England, Tracy Williams did the wrong thing for the wrong reason and now she's in TVFR.

Or the right reason, if you take a spin on this. Tracy just did what people with no idea what goes on around them normally do. People like her just bitch about whatever is bothering them.

We've just discovered, courtesy of IT Vibe, that Ms Williams got busted for slandering a local MP in her blog. Whether or not the guy deserved it is irrelevant. If you're going to slag someone off, you don't accuse them of actually doing something unless everyone knows they've done it.

Do not attempt this on your own blog, we are trained professionals. Do feel free to email us what eggs ya and we will crack that yolk faster than a parisian omelette maker (if you don't like the pun I will [pun]t you).

Although TVFR would have better worded the report, this is how it was reported by IT Vibe:

"A judge has ordered an internet blogger to pay £10,000 in compensation after she accused a Parliamentary candidate of being a 'racist bigot' and 'sex offender' in a landmark case."

Those insults are so cliche, in this day and age you have to be more experimental. As long as you're making it up you might as well make them unforgettable. If you are ever slandering someone try these simple variations on old favourites "I saw him beating a [minority] woman and her kid because they asked for change, he didn't even let her finish, they were asking change for a fiver." (works best on outgoing public officials). For desk workers you can try "[So-and-so] solicited a prostitute to teach my eight year old [son, cousin, daughter, nephew, whatever is believable] how to commit sodomy against my wishes" (this is good because you can change it to varying severities by adding prostitutes or lowering the childs age, also if you absolutely must, you can claim that the child was kidnapped for the day).

Plus, babies exploding always makes good copy.

If we felt so strongly about someone, we'd have given much more florid labels and backed our claims with evidence. Silly silly woman.

Also remember that you can just toss on allegations that are easy to prove wrong to avoid lawsuits. These will not do much individually but will help to weaken the persons public image as more rumor spread. Homosexuality and incest are good starting points.

I am seriously beginning to wonder about you, Anton.


In much better news, ETA news - as it happens, the Basque separatist group in Spain has decided to put away their guns and bombs after only 40 years of random violence.

Anton?

The Scotsman reports... "In a videotaped statement, three masked ETA members said they were laying down their weapons to promote democracy in the northern Spanish region."

We here at TVFR believe in democracy. We also can't see the sense of killing people you want to vote to support your cause.

Earth to Anton...

We also don't speak Spanish so we have no idea what everyone was yabbering about anyway - and now it doesn't matter. We just hope they're not all taking up flying lessons.

Terrorists are serious business. Especially terrorists that won't understand us when we insult them. Good on these ones for laying low, this will make the next terror act they do that much more impactful.

Oh now I see... you were off inventing new wordage. Good stuff. Nothing's as impactful as an exploding Subaru, huh.

Canada: 101 Satan: 0

No, not Satan W Bush, I'm talking about Old Nick's attempt to snare 101 people who were just going about their normal everyday business aboard a ferry in British Columbia when he decided a dirty big rock was just what the 400 ft ferry needed to hit.

Why any of you people should care, I don't know. I live close to where this all happened so that's the only reason I heard about it.

Bunch'a passengers, bunch'a crew, tonnes of cargo and maybe 20 cars were aboard.

There were fears for 2 of the 101 people on board, but they were just playing hard to get. The latest news we got says all on board were rescued.

Boats that big sink slow. Also Canadians are really avid when it comes to radio monitoring and amateur rescue -when we ain't drunk, stoned, or building another igloo for our beer. It's all we can find to do.

Well it sure beats shaving beavers oi

"The president of B.C. Ferries, David Hahn, said he was thankful for the crew members who did their jobs after the accident.

What he wanted to say was "Holy fuck the ferry buisness might go bankrupt. After that bullshit with the fast ferries, we are on short ropes.

"It's unfortunate to lose the ship, but if that's the cost of having nobody really hurt or killed, then fine, I think we'll live with that," Hahn added."


A few attention starved individuals pretended to be hurt and killed? Learn to talk David Hahn.

Booyah Cashah David Hahn! We may just send you a TVFR t-shirt some day. (When we make them.)

I'll send you a brochure for linguistics.


TVFR knows about the coyote they captured in New York's Central Park. However, because of the nauseatingly predictable headline, we thought we'd give it a miss and damn CNN to hell for running with it.

Well maybe if there weren't so many gosh darn roadrunners up in Central Park we could avoid such tragic occurences, or maybe if you didn't try to invade every bit of nature you have with highrises and tourist traps... Anyway, that coyote is as good as dead, like hell they would spend the money relocating it.

They've also hinted that Japan is suspending loans to China after a worsening of diplomatic relations between the two countries. Kinda missed the boat there, we think. China's just done the deal with Russia and Autoboston.com will be breaking the story about China's deals with U.S. car manufacturers. Sorry Japan, but who needs you anyway?

Jam those Priuses where the sun don't shine and turn it into a new tv game show.

Fuck Japan, nobody will listen to you unless you wave a military advantage in their face. Just look at America (the part that is arrogant enough to call themselves the Americans) as an example of excellence in foriegn policy.

Phwoar! And you reckon I'm halfway less than modest.

I'm packing darkies even to tell you by whom TVFR is supported now!
