Imagine walking through town. You have a beard. The beard sits on your face. You realise this and so turn to look into a shoppe window hoping to catch a glimpse of you with your beard. There it is you think, still there. Anyway after this you turn a corner (as corners are notoriously difficult to navigate if one keeps walking in the same direction) and all of a sudden you are confronted with a her...
"Admittedly I wrote most of it while drunk but expected so much more. Perhaps an IKEA voucher for those meatballs". "Our journalists are very important to us" said the online tabloid "It keeps punters clicking on adverts for shoes and stuff." "But why am I not already taking cocaine off the smalls of super models' backs, like those sacked Barclays people I just wrote about last time? I mea...
Even since I attempted to write satire on The Spoof! I realize how little I know about the art.

It's clear that the 'thumbs up' rating system is inadequate to the task. Giving less than a five is apt to hurt the feelings of a writer, but how can we express approval of a piece of writing with more subtlety than the hammer blow of 'five thumbs up'?
