Doctor Stephen Harliton, the well known homoeopathic economist has calculated that £1 invested properly will completely cure the World economy. "The key is to find the correct dilution.", explained Harliton, "I know £1 sounds a lot but it would be introduced in 10p doses throughout the year."

offlineAdministratorI think this is the first time a sub on the writers' room has got more hits than the front page. (retweeted by Stephen Fry no less) Apepper why don't you write this is up as a full front page story - or if you don't have time/energy/inclination, somebody else should.

It was a NiB last week...
I predict another rush of homeopathy based subs now too.

Stephen Fry 'of only average intelligence'
Perhaps he didn't get it: he might need to do more research.

Homeopathy (well, applying its ludicrous method to other subjects) really does seem to be a magic bullet for popular satire. I, personally, have been steering clear of using it as surely it's 'done' now. We get it; take the idea that less of something is more and extrapolate that 'logic' to its nonsensical conclusion for much ensuing, and now relatively cheap, I feel, hilarity.

Hmm. Possibly does come across as a bit harsh. I’m not having a go at anyone here, I just think there's nothing new to be gained now from the whole homeopathy territory. The central idea in all of them is the same so, if it’s now just a case of seeing how many different topics we can apply it too, I just don’t see the point.
