"A local man has been fired from his pizza delivery job this week today after a delivery last night ended in a sexual act. Reports have suggested that on delivering the pizza, two women opened the door, undressed, and complained that they had no sour cream to dip their crusts into, to which the driver replied 'well I've got more than enough for the two of you..." etc. Dick Everyman on "New Feature - make up your own joke by adding a punch line" http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=52965#post-152523 Sat, 08 Dec 2012 16:42:55 +0000 Dick Everyman 152523@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ How's your dicky wotsit dvo4fun?

All we need now is somewhere to publish it, say a website or something. I saw a similar thing in America called The Onion. That's it. We need something that could be like the British Onion.

Maybe as a new feature we could take a news story and try to make it poignant or whistful.

Sometimes it's hard to edit things down that far, though. Sometimes, it might be easier to have a format that's a little longer, but still brief. A sort of 'News Satire in a Brief Format', if you will. But you've hit the nail on the head there, Perks. Naming such a thing would be impossible.

I'm fairly sure the entire reason for this site's existence is to take the piss out of the news or social trends. It's not a 'new feature' to find unusual news stories and try and be funny about them. Although I guess it is fairly ground-breaking to find a boring news story and ask other people to be funny about it on your behalf. custard cream on "New Feature - make up your own joke by adding a punch line" http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/topic.php?id=52965#post-152459 Sat, 08 Dec 2012 11:25:06 +0000 custard cream 152459@http://newsbiscuit.com/forum/ Can you make this genuine news story from the BBC funny? A gold earring disc, found in Norfolk by a metal detector enthusiast, has left treasure experts baffled as to the exact meaning of its decoration. Discovered in Keswick, near Norwich, the disc "is an unusual find for the Roman period", said a Norwich Castle Museum spokesman. It features a scorpion, phallus, snake and crab, but the meaning of the combination "is lost" an expert said. Over to you!
