Red Dwarf used for a pile of shit ‘spoof’ article

Yup……that’s wank.

that could’ve been done so much better…

Jesus Christ. Are all of the articles this unfunny? I’m afraid to read any more.

If they’re making up things and trying to be recognised, then the Mirror needs to stop hiding behind this ‘Spoof’ pseudonym and own up…

Satire, i love it

More to the point – when the sun expands, it will become a red GIANT.

Red dwarves (and brown dwarves, which are the same basic thing, just slightly warmer) are failed stars, like Jupiter (which on some models is a failed star) only bigger – they don’t have enough mass to start nuclear fusion, and so just fade away slowly.

For the spoof to have a hope of working, that sort of thing needs to be factually accurate. The fact that The Sun the self-styled newspaper predates Red Dwarf doesn’t help the case either. For a spoof to be funny, it needs to be nearly believable, just twisted a little…

Because, from the looks of it, there?s no editorial work at all – anyone can just submit stuff, and so it?s filled with utter bollocks.

Are you thinking what I’m thinking?

Abysmal even though I say so myself.

I have not met Le Kettle, sir.

> Colin Baker?s not keen on either, to be honest

Ooh, no he isn’t at all!

>we tried interviewing the BBC’s head of light entertainment

Won’t get very far asking him about a sitcom, mind.

Not a spoof article, but: this is pretty dreadful. The odd factual error (“Jack Bullet”?) – but its main fault is just being dull, Dull, DULL.
