Guardian FAIL… epically.
Posted on 06. Mar, 2010 by RK in International, United Kingdom, United States
Late last night, lefty conspirators hit that “SEND” button on their Macbooks (Ed: Don’t YOU use a Macbook?) and went to the presses on this deeply embarrassing expose on the Young Britons’ Foundation- Britain’s young free-market training organisation. The problem is, it wasn’t embarrassing for YBF. It was a yet another non-story in the long line of Grauniad pseudo-journalistic bias.
ID card fail

At KRO, we feel obliged to apologise for the grievous mistake that may have startled many of our readers half to death. At 16:54 today, probably the most unlikely advert appeared next to our article criticising ID cards:
#adfail
How ID cards will benefit your business?! If that’s how good they’ll be at target identification, I don’t think ID cards are going to do anything to help.
Let us repeat ourselves nice and slowly so there’s no more confusion. Fuck. Right. Off.
Oblivious Observer on Wikipedia
Posted on 18. Oct, 2009 by OHC in United Kingdom
As part 429 of their ongoing investigation into How Nasty the Conservatives’ New European Allies Are, the Observer has decided to delve even further into the absurd. Apparently, in their view, the European Conservatives and Reformists have edited chairman Michal Kaminski’s Wikipedia article to “hide Kaminski’s past”.
They point to this edit by an anonymous, unregistered user, which removed an accusation that Kaminski was a member of the National Revival of Poland. The problem is that said edit was actually Wikipedia policy, under the very strict policy towards biographies of living people, which require sources for all controversial issues to avoid libelling the subject. The statement was unsourced, and, thus, to quote Wikipedia policy, ’should be removed immediately and without waiting for discussion’. An anonymous user followed Wikipedia policy: what a scandal!
They also cite edits by a user (Ed: not a ‘computer’, you dunces: people, with brains, unlike your journalists) called ‘Strasburg’. OMG, a user called ‘Strasburg’ – it must be a big conspiracy! Except that the first edit was to undo the supposedly biased deletion that the Observer cited above. The second group of edits weren’t deleting nuclear secrets, but deleting completely empty space.
So, in the short, the Observer thinks the Conservatives have appointed two people to whitewash Kaminski’s page, despite those two editors doing nothing except undoing each other’s work. Please, not even CCHQ is that hapless. And, what’s more, there are now five paragraphs in the Wikipedia article now dedicated to the accusations against him! If anything, the Observer’s been trying to blackwash Kaminski’s reputation from day one, and this is just another desperate attempt at that.
Exposé fail.

Carter-Ruck’s attempt to cover up the Trafigura report may have backfired ever so slightly. As of this morning, these were the trending topics on Twitter:
Not sure if Trafigura are feeling top of the world this morning.
In case you’re wondering, Menculik Miyabi (’Kidnapping Miyabi’) is an Indonesian comedy film starring a Japanese porn actress called Miyabi. Hence its obvious popularity on Twitter. The Interwebs: still good for two things.

The man’s on a roll.
October 2009: Barack Obama flies to Copenhagen, gives a fancy speech to the world, and leaves empty handed, with America having lost out and the developing world celebrating their victory.
December 2009: Barack Obama flies to Copenhagen, gives a fancy speech to the world, and leaves empty handed, with America having lost out and the developing world celebrating their victory.
Say it ain’t so.
Was the trip worth it, Mr President?

Nice to see President Obama flying to Copenhagen to back the Chicago Olympic bid, only to see them go out in the first round of voting. But, hey, at least his cap-and-tax climate alarmist friends will be pleased that he flew all that way just to give one speech, stay there for five hours in total, then fly home again.
Perhaps he’d like to explain to the American people that he’s taxing another $161bn to help ‘prevent climate change’ that it was worth it to fly Air Force One to another continent just so the President could be associated with others’ hard work, just as Blair did to grab the limelight from Seb Coe in 2005, but FAIL. We don’t think it was.
Maybe, just maybe, Barack Obama isn’t all he’s cracked up to be.
Barack and Michelle Obama losing Chicago the Olympics.
Update: The CNN anchor’s reaction to Chicago losing out in the first ballot is priceless. He literally cannot believe that it has happened! “Madrid is still in?! Tokyo is still in?! Wait a minute… Chicago is out?!”
Clegg admits, "KeepRightOnline had my number all along."

In a massive, “We told you so,” moment – it appears that Nick Clegg has well and truly reneged on his party’s stance on tuition fees. KeepRightOnline reported the hypocritical Lib Dems here, thanks to the eagle eye of for NME member Owen Meredith.
So, now that the dust has settled on this preposterous attempt to buy the student vote, what of the Lib Dems? Especially those who claimed KRO were fabricating tales previously?
EPIC. LIB. DEM. FAIL.
Targeted ad fail

Someone should tell these people that salt makes the ground infertile for (say) a Conservative tree to grow. If you don’t like Conservatism enough, can we interest you in a Biblical worldview instead?
Dislike.
