An article on the BBC website has created a stir and has already been dealt with entertainingly elsewhere but, having read the article I now have some important news for you.
It would seem that unless bloggers agree to voluntarily to self-regulate the legislature may have to step in and take control of us. This is because those who are “angered” at what we write have no right of “redress”.
I have to say that it had never previously struck me as a problem that people I make angry can’t sue me but now it has been raised as an issue I suppose it is outrageous that I appear to be free to say whatever I like. It is exceptionally uncivilised.
Anyhoo, this is obviously only going to work with a measure of co-ordination. In a selfless determination to do what is right for the blogosphere and avoid any unnecessary governmental meddling I have decided to take control of all blogs with effect from midnight GMT. Henceforward my voice will be your voice and, more importantly, your voice will be my voice. I will rule you all till the heavens fall and the sea coughs up its dead.
All your blogs are belong to ME.
That is all (for now).
Oh good, can you make my blog as funny as it used to be in 2005? Thanks.
DC – If that is funnier than it is now I don’t have a prayer. Thus all blogs funnier than mine are outlawed. It’s sudoku for YOU from now on.
Since your voice is my voice and all, can I critique your grammar? You may want to fix your “All your blogs are belong to ME” statement. Don’t hate me 🙂
Other than that, I’m completely impressed by your manifesto, especially the falling heavens/coughing sea business. I would totally vote for you for world dictator should you ever choose to run.
Rather you than Microsoft.
I bow down oh great MASTA!!!!!!!!!!!!
Pardon me while I genuflect, darling.
Julie – Of course you may but may I suggest you first visit this site: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/All_your_base_are_belong_to_us
CC – Bill and I are having a round of golf next Tuesday to discuss synergies.
OTJ – Excellent – you can be Prime Minister.
It could be worse. At least I like your humor.
damn! i’ve been planning just such a coup for years! and you beat me to it. grrrrrr! i mean, i fully support your stance on this – and every other – policy (and do you need a deputy, at all?)
presumeably this is only the start though. i’ll await developments with interest – founding of the people’s republic of moobsrovia, the moobs sterling, the moobslennium bridge, moobsrow airport …
oh – the exquisite power!
we were asked to do an article for g’issue the other day in their strand ‘king for a day’ – sadly only 450 words. we could have gone on and on and ….
anyway – good to know the moobsosphere will be safe in your hands
According to Technorati as many as 1.3 million ‘things’ are posted every day. What are these things, and more importantly, should I be afraid of them?
It’s a fair cop, guv. I admit it, I have been known to exaggerate on occasion. Just a bit.
Here’s my keys.
I am outraged! I will be sueing as soon as appropriate legislation is in place.
Oh that I could type my comment in tiny tiny letters to reflect my shame. Obviously my popular-cultural literacy goes far deeper than even I knew and my grammar-Nazi tendencies (honed from years of grading student papers) cannot be switched off. Sorry. While you are in charge, please feel free to ban all ivory-tower dwelling, red-pencil wielding professors.
You own my blog?
You really want to own all my penis stories?
You sick fuck. 😉
Steve~
MM – I like the cut of your jib young lady – choose a Ministry.
EB –
Pog – I have no intention of taking your blog over until you have sorted the central heating out. Too cold for me.
Julie – Consider yourself Grammar Nazi Laureate
Steve – Henceforward your site will be dedicated to recipes for hearty soups and inspirational messages from scripture.
Just don’t ban me from talking about buying shoes. Do you get a crown or anything?
You want my blog….
Come and get it.
*blur of sandbags, ill-fitting khaki clothing, grubby firearms, corned beef, cigarettes and beards*
….
What do you mean you don’t want it?
LM- It’s not that I want a crown but obviously if my loyal bloggers were to insist …
MA – Resistance is futile. You will be Achimilated.
Thank God you’ve come to save me from my misery. I was just about to turn my blog over to my 8-year old. If she didn’t want it the Starbucks barista was next in line.
(And HEY – Give me back my comments. Don’t make me come over there. I know you took them back, even though no offense was taken and they were highly entertaining. I expect them back by midnight, PST, and failure to do so will result in a bag of dog poop sent by overnight courier.)
What the….? What happened to free speech?
Anyway, now that you own my blog, can you fix the plumbing cuz I think I have a leaky roof…:)
Not even I loan you a spare duvet?
Hmf. I feel all rejected now. And a bit chilly.
Not even IF I loan you … I meant, of course. Tripewriting today. Gah.
Hurry up and update my fucking blog! Cheers.
Well if my blog is YOUR blog, then you better get busy and clean up this mess. Here’s the disinfectant and the face mask. Get to it.
King Moobs, I bow at your whittle toes and feel secure in knowing that you are a merciful King.
and I…
A MERCILESS QUEEN!!!! MMMUUUUHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!
MMMUUUUHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
MMMUUUHHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!
okay, I’m all done now.
Thank God Moobz! PHEW! I just bloged on my love of the Lily Allen video “Smile”.
THEN I found out that my bossy oldest sister reads my blog daily. (Probably to come up with more ideas of how to torture the middle child.) And Lily Allen swears(!) in her video. I’m in trouble now.
Please Moobz, Please save me from myself! Save me from Lily Allen and laughing my ass off.
Thank you!
Please post more often than I do now while I do some more serious bra shopping.
Yeeehhhheeewww Party at Moobs’ place…
We’ll just call you our PARTY leader!!!
I am seriously beginning to regrte this but Pend is right – everybody form a conga.
