Hey Crazy Fools. Saw this article in the Los Angeles Underground Times:

Reign Of Fear In UK

'The fabric of British society was on the verge of being torn apart today as a poor dancer continues to appear in a light entertainment show. John Sergeant, 60-something, stands accused of vote-rigging, colluding with a Russian and not being very good.'

Us Strictly fans know exactly what the journalist is going on about - Gawd knows what the American readers will think of it though!

"On 25th October Sergeant was seen marching in a military style whilst dragging a Russian woman, Kristina Rihanoff, along the floor by her arms." Lol! Good job Kristina is not Shilpa Shetty

That "article" was hilarious! Nice one!



EDIT: Btw, is it just me or is the response both for and against John here on DS ever so slightly OTT and out of control?

Most of the original post has been removed because DS forum support think it's a copyright violation! Dearie me. Come on, forum support, apply your brain and put it back please!

I'm assuming they didn't read this spoof article all the way through, then

I've notified the moderators of its spoof nature. I hate it when a plan doesn't come together!

LOL!

It was an excellent "article". We could do with a few more of them, then perhaps FMs might get some perspective about this whole John saga.

It's not the end of the world, it's not life and death, it's only a celeb dancing-cum-entertainment show, for heaven's sake.

There isn't a source because it's not a real article; it's a spoof

great article BA, what little of it I got to read!

Shame that the mods sense of humour isn't as good as yours...

Any chance that you have a copy that you can repost, now that forum support have had their satire gene reinstated?

BTW
You can post anything like this on Thread for Lazy Journalists and it won't get censored.
I think mods realise that anything posted there is a spoof.

For those that missed BA Baracus' very funny article before the Mods removed it for copyright violation (I'm guessing that BA Baracus owns the copyright, mods!)
It was cut and pasted to another thread here

http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/forums/s...683971&page=23

So you can enjoy it in all its uncensored glory

I don't know what's funnier. ADmin thinking it's a genuine article or the 'article' itself. Well done BA!
