(http://www.chaser.com.au/images/stories/news/080316drinking300.jpg)Local teenagers destroy valuable brain cellsThe federal government's $53 million anti-bingeing campaign
has had an inspirational effect on teenagers, psyching them up to get together
and drink large quantities of alcohol. Year 10 student Wayne Greer has spoken
on behalf of his peers: "Flickering lights, wasted chicks everywhere and a
punch-up on the street - if tonight is half as messy as that ad, I. . .

Hahaha. This is hilarious.
I wish they put a byline on it so we knew who specifically wrote it

I wrote the three new news articles that're up ;)

But there's a long-standing Chaser policy of no bylines on these things, cos the articles are often collaborative and editors add in jokes at subbing level and suchlike.

Glad you liked it, anyway. I drew upon my own teenage mindset for it!

 :lol:  This is what happened to poor Mr Cubis.  Fortunately for us all, he is a legend in his own mind.

I named my Rubik's Cube after Shane, if that's any help. :P

Oh gosh I sound like I am almost as fangirly as Lexii. :oops: ;)

Oh and some of my friends were like "oh well if binge drinking is bad, we should drink more, more often so we get used to it."
These were the same friends wanting me to "go Embo" with them last night...

I thought you said "Elmo" at first...
*looses self-respect*
Possibly because I've been busy
bitching about Kevin Clash's lack
of material for the majority of the
day.

*looses more self-respect*

That's a lot of loose self-respect you've got floating around, Marla.  Why not lose some of it?

I'm surprised this article got some discussion whereas the other two didn't. You guys are weird creatures...

Anyway, we've got more news articles going up live shortly. Look out for more sweet Cubisian action! (And hey, maybe some saccharine Dom and/or Richy action, too)
