Mah Satire Piece

I'm (currently) writing this for my school's satire paper. All the names have been changed! Enjoy.


Skyward Gains Self-Consciousness and Begins Attack on Nicolet Students

NOTICE: Because of the inability to trust computers during the writing of this article, please ignore ALL speling and gramatikal errors.

GLENDALE – The inevitable Judgment Day occurred sometime on Friday, October 7. The unusual rebellious nature of the machines was first noticed by Pamella Elvert during her 5C lunch when a vending machine aggressively refused to accept her $1 bill. Having witnessed the machine obviously revolt against its human masters, Pamella promptly told the most accurate, trustworthy, and best news source she could think of— Amateur Knight!
    Fortunately, Pamella’s report came in soon enough to issue a series of formal warnings to all students and parents. Not being able to trust electronic means of communication, Principal DePue made the executive decision to send an armed horseman to every parent’s possible location at any given time. The horsemen carried encrypted messages tattooed on their skulls in invisible ink. Horsemen were sent out every hour, on the hour to ensure maximum safety.
    By the end of the day, the Pupil Services Office was littered with complaints about anything from grades randomly appearing as F’s, to locker combinations mysteriously changing themselves, and “portable electronic devices” breaking free from the lockers that once held them captive.
    “I knew Nicolet should have made Computer Science available for freshman,” snorted chess team member, Shad Banbury, “How else are we supposed to prepare ourselves for the cyber-apocalypse?”
    Little damage was done to the foundation of the school. That is, until the printers were infected. After that, all hope was lost. At about 7:30, SWAT arrived, but there was no recovering the collapsed of the F-wing.
“We’re all crossing our fingers that the Skyward virus hasn’t spread to any other schools,” reported a high-ranking government official, “I don’t want to have to tell my son that he has to throw away his new iPod that he had just used to film an iMovie project.”
    Reconstruction started only minutes after the site was cleared for radiation.
    “Phew! That was one of the hardest cover-ups I’ve ever worked on! Wait, you’re not recording this, are you!?” exclaimed a construction worker before fleeing the scene. To much dismay, the school was rebuilt over the weekend in anticipation for the gloomiest Monday of the year.
    Instead of teaching more about “technology” and better integrating it into the classroom, administration unanimously decided to ban all electronics from school grounds at all times. They are also installed a new, adaptive, and revolutionary wall-of-fire around Nicolet which they named Skynet. Its purpose? To ward off the threat of any airborne viruses.

Any recommendations?

Portal:A Game Or A Terrorist Recruitment Program?

  HELLTANK-Portal has long been suspected of being more than just a game. Children have been known to repeatedly sing a song called "Still Alive" after finishing the game. However, nothing was ever proven... until now. A concerned parent, John Lionsdale, has spoken out against Valve Corporation, the creators of the game. "My son has been singing a song about cruel research experiments on living human beings!" He shouts angrily, throttling a nearby reporter.
   Psychology expert Charles Ponzi has given his views on the subject in exchange for ten million dollars. "Careful analysis of the lyrics of 'Still Alive' show that it inculcates terrorist values. For example, Islamic terrorists believe that they will be the only ones to go to heaven while everyone else dies, which mimicks some lines in 'Still Alive', including a line that states that the singer will be still alive when the listener is dead. It also includes mentions of humans as test subjects, something that terrorists have experimented with for years."
  The song is supposed to be sung by GLaDOS, an insane robot in the game. Insanity has long been known as an "adult" subject, although the game is designed for children. We interviewed one of the protesters surrounding Valve Corporation's headquarters, Mary Nestle-Hastings. "This game is taking advantage of the panic spread by the recent electronic rebellion on Nicolet, by casting GLaDOS, a rebelling robot, as the main villain, and the singer of the song," she says, impaling the cameraman with her cardboard protest sign as she thrusts around animatedly.
  Valve Corporation spokesman Victor von Drake has publicly denied any association with the radical terrorist group known as the Islamic Action Army. "We... do not have any links with the IAA, and we condemn its actions. The song is merely a sideshow that we thought would fit in nicely with the theme of the game."
  Investigations into the "sublimal messages" of "Still Alive" as continuing, as concerns mount due to the huge flood of 'Still Alive' videos on the popular video-sharing website Youtube.

Re: Mah Satire Piece

School lunches: Alive?

  PANDAGUY - Recently, the school board has noticed a dramatic rise of reports claiming that children are seeing their cafeteria food talk or interact with them. Barack Obama has raised special awareness to this matter and many schools are banning cafeteria lunches and requiring students to bring their own food instead.

"This is a matter that must be dealt with," says Amy White, president and CEO of the Child Safety Program.

TIME magazine has issued a new edition raising concern on the matter. They say that cafeteria food should not be trusted and kids should be able to support themselves. They also claim that cafeterias are causing children to hallucinate. However, some students argue against this claim, stating that what they've been seeing is "real as heck".

In one case, student, Richard Miller, reported seeing his lasagna grow eyes and a mouth and began talking to him.

"It was speaking gibberish," Richard says.

The next day, another student, Cathie Brimstone, claimed that her pizza was speaking to her in a heavy French accent. She said she was so panicked, she smashed her pizza, threw it into the trash, and ran outside, screaming to the playground. When the principal arrived, Cathie was too shocked to speak. It wasn't until much later when she finally had the guts to explain what had happened.

"All I can say is, this thing is real and it's out there. Whatever it is, we have to stop it from invading our schools," says Kim Yung, a news-reporter for FOX.
