[This topic is LOCKED]

Unemployed/Starving writers were aghast today to find that Spoof Editor Mark "Darling" Lowton, in an effort to stimulate the 4980 Spoof Writers not in the "top 20", handed out over 1,470,000 'Bonus Points' to the top 5 writers on the site with the understanding that they in turn would put those points back into "the market" to stimulate the "plodders".
Lowton was said to have rushed through the stimulus plan, and those receiving the stimulus points said they really didn't know where they went, but they certainly weren't bound to loan them out to a bunch of risky wankers..... Fess Up Guys and Gals...... |

I can confirm that I did, indeed, receive 310,000 points under the Stimulus Plan.
I went immediately to Tesco, and bought various groceries with them, and now have exactly the same amount of points that I had before Mark's kind donation. It's good to know that we have forward-thinking people like Mark, who are determined to meet the economic crisis head-on, and who won't shirk from a challenge. Well done, Mark, and thank you. Oh no, I need another shit. |

Just in from Fox Business News: According to Neil Cavuto, the World's Richest Spoof Writers, instead of loaning out the stimulus points, or giving outright grants, used the points to "buy out" other writer's space and identity on the site, thereby enabling them to continue to write under multiple "new" personalities.... According to an unnamed Source, Splurb 1969 has 4 Branch Writing Affiliates, and a drive thru Point Depository.... He says business is "fuckin' bloomin' wonderful!" Morse Shameful! |

Mark tried to offer me more points, but they had so many stipulations on them that I turned them down. I refuse to take Stimulus Package Bonus Points and think that they are bad for the economy.
Besides, I've still got 1.5 million of my own lying around. |

Libraries are quiet places, Morse. Pick somewhere else.
