Fox News Finds Newsworthy Mom, Rapes Her
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,549323,00.html
I’m going to make this quick because I’m going to bed soon, but I just had to put down my thoughts about this article in a public forum. Fox News is not generally known to be a satire news service, but most of the time I find FoxNews.com’s “Fair and Balanced” tagline to be ultimately ironic and much less accurate as The Onion’s tagline “America’s Finest News Source.” Although this sort of thing is nothing new to Faux News, I encourage whoever wrote this article to take a peek into their history books, or at the very least into a dictionary, and learn about the term “yellow journalism;” though frankly this article borders more on libel.
The whole thing kicks off with the eyecatching headline, “Police: Michigan Mom Found Long-Lost Son, Rapes Him.” It starts of with a punch, with great certainty that this evil woman has done this atrocious act, and for about 3/4 of the article proceeds to keep the pretense that she has done it. Then, finally, it reveals that she has barely just been arraigned and the trial has not even begun yet!
Way to go, Fox News! Guilty until proven innocent, right?
I’m sorry, but I was under the impression that as an American, she had the right to due process of law? Who the hell does this author think he or she is, that wants to play judge and jury? If the woman has done the unspeakable, I definitely think she should rot in prison with all the other child molesters. However nobody has the right to go throwing mud until the evidence has been weighed in a court of law.
And I have to say that was real fucking low putting a link to her Myspace page on there (which, her page has already been removed). This coming from a company that bitched and whined about Sarah Palin’s email being compromised. I wonder if the author could have made this article even more personal.
I really wouldn’t be surprised if Ms. Sword had a case in her favor to wring the necks of Fox News for libel. And if that is so, I would be behind her 100% even if she DID do it. This kind of sensationalist bullshit is why I and many others do not have any respect at all for this news company. They seem to think they can get away with constantly making shit up and misrepresenting potentially innocent people.
Faux News, if you are listening–leave the real news reporting up to the professionals and get back to fabricating stories about all the crazy rapist pedophiles that inhabit the country’s public transportation lines.

Still Alive
And mostly breathing!
I just wanted to make a quick announcement that I updated the site to the newest version of WordPress, as well as updated the theme which offers Feedburner options. You can still use the old feed, but now we are offered through feedburner, and also you can be notified by email of new posts!
Also, I thought I’d apologize to everyone for there being no new posts in a while. There’s no excuse other than laziness, and also somehow we’ve all managed to play dozens of random wads from the archive and not find one truly worthy of Roulette. Also, Kyle has been busy getting drunk and worshiping Odin to post more Oascera.
Furthermore, we may have a surprise in store for the near future, involving Doom Roulette, and Hell On! Stay tuned!
Phoebus Finally Bans Everyone
Several months ago, back in March, William “Phoebus” Mull made the announcement that NewDoom would finally be closing its doors in early June, so everyone started preparing for the worst. Offers were made to keep NewDoom running, and several others offered sanctuary for the community members to continue their fun and fraternizing.
Although, soon it was announced that NewDoom would NOT be shut down and would continue on unimpeded. The details are vague, but the site was moved to a new server, but the reasons can only be conjectured at this point.
However, some time between last night and this morning, site owner “Phoebus” finally decided that it was time to end it all and proceeded to effectively ban every member who wasn’t himself or a moderator.
Yes, that’s right. If you have been posting at NewDoom for the entire nine or ten years that it has been in service, you now have to pay $2.50 a month to remove your ban, or a “discount” of $18.50 to remove your ban for a full year.
Most members are apathetic about the new situation, one stating, “What [Phoebus] could’ve done is gracefully end the forums as was the original plan. We, as a community could have prepared for the event properly instead of having to suffer this sudden death. I’m not sure what [Phoebus] hoped to accomplish with this, except maybe to prevent us creating a refuge and “steal” Newdoom members as was the original plan. I don’t know, and it really doesn’t even matter.“
NewDoom will be sorely missed. Phoebus will not. And everyone else, enjoy your b&
