Do you honestly think there is any chance that isn't a joke? Really?

LeBOF · 01/12/2011 20:13

Er, the clue is probably in the site's name...or do you believe the Daily Mash is all true too?

OP do you really think that's true? Are you usually a bit, ahem, trusting

Bless you OP - it's a spoof.

Whatmeworry · 01/12/2011 20:14

I believe everything I read in the Mash. Well, no less than I believe any other newspaper.

squeakytoy · 01/12/2011 20:15

"...will include buffet cars selling cans of special brew, pregnancy test kits and signed photos of Nick Griffin kicking a black person in the face."

Come off it, how can you for one second think that's true?

MmeLindor. · 01/12/2011 20:16

Haven't you heard of newsbiscuit before?

Ah I see it's a spoof site. Have never seen it before. I was really shocked after seeing that awful woman on youtube earlier in the week but tbh I don't get jokes easily.

I've never heard of newsbiscuit tbh, it's a new one on me - but even the headline screams spoof. Racism carriages - you thought there was any possibility that was real?

OK.

To be fair though once you've seen that Nick Griffin is allowed on QT you do wonder where the UK is heading........

Squeaky, I didn't think that was that funny, except that DILDO is a damn good abbreviation and deserves to become better known!

tethersjinglebellend · 01/12/2011 20:27

It's interesting though; a sign of the times that the word 'gullible' has been removed from the dictionary.

Whatmeworry · 01/12/2011 20:27

The Mash did her....

StealthPenguin · 01/12/2011 21:27

I read NewsBiscuit almost daily because it's a bloody good laugh. This is no exception!

The Onion is also a good spoof website.

Almost fell off my chair, especially that bit about the special brew and N.G kicking a black person in the face!

Bogeyface · 01/12/2011 21:49

Loving DILDO, can we actually have that please?!
