Imaginary news site pulls really offensive headline
Tue May 26, 2026 11:56 am
Imaginary news reporter, Brian Shuttleson, admitted today that he had recently been forced to spike one of his own stories after realising the headline was "really grossly offensive on a number of levels".
"At first I thought I could get away with it", said Shuttleson, sitting at the infamous corner table of The Baker's Legs, "but I read it back again and realised there was no way it was gonna happen. I almost puked".
Temporary Editor of the Imaginary News, Joanna Notherstick, was disappointed but philosophical : "Obviously its a shame for the young lad. We were hoping for big things from this story but in the end we all agreed that he'd made the right decision. And its not the fear of litigation, it was just too damn gross.".

Spinach & Ricotta Pasta Wedges
This dish is all about the preparation, so before you start, travel to Italy and live with a local family for 16 years before preparing the pasta. Once you're ready to start, roll the spinach into thin sheets and hang them over a washing line until dry. Move the ricotta craftily (making sure to use a sharp knife) and then layer all the ingredients in a large pan, slightly too big to fit in the oven. Empty the ingredients from the pan onto a floured surface and curse loudly until they are well mixed. Give up and go to the pub.
