Let me preface these quotes by saying that this is a real news source, not a satire site. Three decades ago, satirist Tom Lehrer retired because he felt that the world's irony quota had been met when Hammerin' Hank Kissinger won a Nobel Peace Prize. I finally understand where he was coming from. It is increasingly difficult to write satire which is distinguishable from a self-satirizing world.

"A GOVERNMENT investigation into a series of unexplained fires in fridges, televisions and mobile phones in an Italian village has concluded that the responsibility lies with 'aliens testing secret weapons'."

"Arson was ruled out while locals blamed supernatural forces and the Vatican's chief exorcist Father Gabriele Amorth suggested it was Satan's work."
