News Media Calls It Quits
New York City (AP)- Citing a lack of readership, the leaders
of all the world's media outlets have decided to fold up shop.
"We were doing fine and then all of a sudden everybody stopped
reading newspapers and watching t.v. news. We had no choice", said
New York Times publisher Arthur Salzburg minutes after the
astounding announcement was made.
Since the turn of the century, metropolitan newspapers and ,later,
local t.v. stations have been the primary source of news for most
americans. This all changed when Ikea Boy started his almost
compulsive posting of news tidbits, copied and pasted from these
very same news sources. "He's got us beat", said CNN's Ted Turner.
"How can we compete with his resources?".
A Harris poll of 3500 americans came back with almost unanimous
results. They all agreed that without Ikea Boy , their knowledge
of daily news would be almost non-existent.

I love him. He's like those happy old people who become known for sitting by the side of a busy street and waving to passing cars. People drive by regularly and beep just to see him and get him to wave to them.
That's just like our Arpi... except he doesn't wave or anything. He just says mean things to you.
