Is It Real or Is It Scrappleface?

Sudan Rape Victims Get Free Copy of UN Report

(2005-07-29) -- In another display of the value of the United Nations, Secretary-General Kofi Annan today announced that women brutally raped by Sudanese government forces would each receive a free copy of the latest report documenting the widespread, savage abuse.

"It legitimizes their suffering and lets them know that they are not alone," said Mr. Annan, as he held aloft a copy of the 29-page report. "This is why the United Nations is so desperately needed in today's world. We will continue to take bold action in producing reports on the rape and abuse of Sudanese women. The U.N. exists to fearlessly monitor tragic violence against oppressed people by government forces in our U.N. member states."

Environmental activist and general pain-in-the-ass Sting immediately announced plans for a "LiveRape" concert, to better inform Sudanese women about the rapes they are experiencing on a daily basis.

Slated to perform: "Stinky."

Thanks to Fat Kid.

Sorry For The Confusion: This actually is Scrappleface, not real.

The headline was meant to suggest that it's hard to tell the difference.

But please be aware the quotes are all fake.

"bold action in producing reports" ??? Is it just me or do the words bold action and report not belong together?

Silly me, I thought bold action might be something like putting UN peacekeeper troops into Sudan to STOP THE MUTHERFUCKERS FROM RAPING AND KILLING IN THE FIRST FUCKING PLACE!!!

Why does Kofi think he needs to defend the existance of the UN? I thought American conservatives were the only knuckle dragging mouth breathers in the world who thought the UN was a sham.

Thanks Dogstar.

The one thing I've learned from my experiences blogging (and on Fark), is you've got to do your own friggin research. Whether it be passing along hoax emails, or spreading rumors, or whatever - trust, but verify is the name of the game.

This from the guy who put up the tub girl link :) I still have nightmares about that!

Posted by: BrewFan on August 5, 2005 04:48 PM

LOLOL - you coulda googled "tub girl" to see wth i was talkin about - or even bounced it off wikipedia to see it listed under "shock sites" - hehe.

Regardless, that's one of the better zingers out there. The ongoing argument is between it and goatse. The Gov't actually took goatse offline - LMFAO - classic.

Posted by: fat kid on August 5, 2005 05:44 PM

Goatse is gone?

*frantically googling*

Posted by: Michael on August 5, 2005 09:08 PM

I admit to having no idea what goatse is. I also have no desire to know :)

"I admit to having no idea what goatse is. I also have no desire to know "

Just as well, Brewfan. Once you've been there, you'll never be the same.

If it's the three old guys, then let's just say it's three old guys, and let it go at that.

Months ago, I reported that the final Zodiac cypher had been cracked and the name of the killer revealed. And the name of the killer turned out to be someone suspected in the unsolved Black Dahlia murder. The general tone of my mention of this was "serious you guys, this is real."
Well, it's not real. It's total bullshit.
Sorry about that. I did two things: 1, I bought into something, a conspiracy theory really, because it was new and exciting. And 2, I allowed a self-declared "expert" to snow me over with his "expert" claims about solving ciphers, an alleged expertise I could not challenge because I know practically nothing about codebreaking. I remember being similarly swindled by self-declared "experts" babbling about "chromatic aberrations." (Although I didn't really buy into that, but I found it "interesting" and I wasn't strongly skeptical about it. Hey they said they're "experts," they must know that they're talking about, right?)
I screwed up. It won't be the last time, I'm sure.

Chocolate Cherry Cordial
You must not think me mad when I tell you what I found below the thin shell of chocolate used to disguise this bonbon's true face. Yes! Hidden beneath its rich exterior is a hideously moist cherry cordial! What deranged architect could have engineered this non-Euclidean aberration? I dare not speculate.

Caramel Chew
There is a dimension ruled by a blind caramel God-King who sits on a vast, cyclopean milk-chocolate throne while his mindless, gooey followers dance to the piping of crazed flutes. It is said that there are gateways in our world that lead to this caramel hell-planet. The delectable Caramel Chew may be one such portal.

On "Professor" Arday:
He was their living lawn jockey, period. They won't say that 'cause they're sensitive and down with his struggle and all. He was there to appease and flatter their sense of being uplifters of the oppressed. In truth, he served as their living lawn jockey -- no more, no less, and unworthy of even a second thought on their part. Tokenism, pure and simple.

The Short Unhappy Life of a Russian Soldier: Why recruits die in 20-30 minutes
Interesting video. Some key parts: drones were responsible for 70-80% of all battlefield deaths in mid-2025, and I bet it's higher now. The Russian army is incredibly corrupt. Men get assigned to the most dangerous frontline units, the "Storm" units, unless they pay a superior $2,000 to be assigned to a different unit. Furthermore, there is often no real training for recruits -- commanders pocket the money that would have gone towards fuel and ammo costs incurred during training. Much "training" consists just of taking a single picture of soldiers doing something soldier-y, like fording a river, and publishing that as proof that the training was done. Even when it is done, training is only two weeks long.
