Pretty pissed that this made ATSNN...

Yeah, you know what I'm talking about... the April Fools' article about Bush. Not only is it being displayed on ATSNN as a valid story, but it's been highlighted in flashing red lights-- literally.

This reflects very poorly on the value of whoever it is that makes these decisions. It was a clever article, and well-written, but it does not constitute news... it belongs in the Mud Pit, if anywhere.

I'm disappointed to see such glaring evidence of left-wing domination here; I really am. I hope that you'll reconsider such acts in the future.

How can we do something if you dont provide a link?

It's the farking red flashing alert story at the top of ATS main page drunk!

How can you miss it?

Can we say... April Fools!! A bit early tho... Good joke, I thought it was quite funny.

WTF... Why can't i say "A-p-r-i-1 F-0-0-1-s"? Weird...

www.atsnn.com...

Right there; and yes, it's highlighted in a big, red, flashing box.

I don't see any problem with such an article being shown on April fools day.

Good on ATSNN for making a joke

You'll be pleased to know that Colonel is being made Editor-in-Chief of ATSNN then!

I saw it the box aint flashing. sadly i cant do much about moving it, try sending a complaint then a Supermod might have alook at it.

Oh come off it...its one day out of the year...we all need time for a lil fun on here...and the moderators want to have some too....

I still want to know why we can't type "A-p-r-i-1 F-0-0-1-s"? LoL. STOP THE CENSORShIP!!! Jeez!

You do not see a newspaper printing an article that is fake and a joke on april fools day do you? I have never seen one, so why is it acceptable on ATSNN? It should not be allowed. Who ever allowed this to happen made a poor judgement call. I am ashamed at the people who thought this up. I think the people who came up with the idea should appologize for tarnishing the reputation of ATSNN.

intrepid: Skippy is just too damn lazy to be Editor.

As far as my avatar, I just wish I could spell

'eeeeyyyyyyyyyyyyy'

I feel your pain. What you are saying is that you would like to see more right-wing biased reporting/satire on April fool's? As for "glaring evidence of left-wing domination" - Would you rather have fascism running amok on these boards, is that what you want? I don't see how this piece should be relegated to the Mud-pit. It's April fool's Man! Get yourself together!

Aren't you supposed to complain using the correct channels? If you did, I stand corrected. I think you should be allowed to write your own satire about Kerry being replaced by a Clinton.

As Nerdling says in the story, "If any of you actually got taken in by this, then you dont deserve to vote, Happy April Fools 2004!"
