Social valuation at all-time high

The world's premier social newtwork SocialNonsense has been valued at over $7 prior to its floatation.

SocialNonsense has found a unique niche by targeting users who are newts rather than human beings, said Princely Summ, Director of the Social Foundation of Largs. Their strategy of targeting amphibians will really pay off if the earth floods.

But the social newtwork's plans for floatation have been misunderstood, according to its Head of Slime Strategy, Graas E Knoll. People have become confused, he said. They think we intend to float on the New York Stock Exchange but, in fact, it contains very little water. Therefore we plan to float in New York Harbour where water is plentiful and floating is rather easier.

Aesthetic jam threat

The European Union wants to redesignate certain British jam as paint after it was found to contain mostly colouring and paint. The Aesthetic Jam Co says the only way to get jam to tone perfectly with people's kitchen colour schemes is to add quantities of paint. People who demand beige jam to match their kitchen have to expect a little variation in the recipe, said Jim Spread of the Aesthetic Jam Co. The Aesthetic Jam Co admits jam made mostly from paint is likely to taste a little painty. Photo by KAL VISUALS on Unsplash

Duck for president bid fails

A last minute third-candidate bid for US President from Daffy Duck failed when it emerged he was born in Kenya. Ridicule is the burden of genius, Mr Duck commented. Can you imagine anything so ridiculous as majority rule? Meanwhile, Americans are left with a choice between the lesser of two evils. Polls have the voters balanced neck-and-neck between a president who is useless and a a president who is bonkers. American democracy is a beautiful thing, said one passer-by we latched on to in Washington DC. It just shows that anyone can become president who can raise a billion dollars in campaign funds. A spokesperson for the American Institute of Total Warfare which represents the arms industry said We haven't really made up our minds yet. We've been impressed by how much money President Obama has spent in warfare but we're wondering what we can achieve if we put a real looney in charge. Photo by Kris Mikael Krister on Unsplash
