		<description>Dear ray,

I hope you realize that the point of debate/controversy/discussion here is about the content of the blog, NOT the format in which it was written. My reply to ashkeanne was due to the fact that ashkeanne was implying that we're all making a huge fuss over an article that was oh-so-obviously not really published in any newspapers, and I was trying to tell her that the thing which is riling all of us up is what MenJ wrote. It would have made absolutely no difference if he had written it as an ordinary blog post or not. That is, the gist of my comment to ashkeanne.

Regarding the nature of my blog post, it was intentionally done so to trick any gullible readers of my blog that it was a newspaper clipping. However, what does that have to do with the nature of MenJ's post? If you're implying that by using a similarly generated article means I think MenJ's post is a real newspaper clipping, then sir, I honestly do not understand the way your thought processes work. I mean seriously, WTF? Oh well. 

In anycase, let's not turn this into something about me. The real issue here is more important and please let us pay more attention to it. 

Thanks.</description>

		<description>Ray: I think the issue here is not whether the content is real or fake. If it is real, then we're all very scared, because maybe after so long we're all living in a world of altered reality ala the matrix. And because it is fake, we're having this discussion (and debate, if you may), as a systematic alert response to remind the world, in particular this blogosphere that this kind of 'jokes' can not be tolerated. 

at the end of the day, if you want to pull in freedom of speech, by all means pull it  in. since this sort of freedom stands, this furor over the 'satirical content' within that doctored article must occur in order to maintain the check-and-balance.</description>

		<description>Mark, it's only assumed by you that ashkenne is labeling everyone being 'stupid'. Sure it's about CONTENT, but she's trying to assist those that may not realize that it's a fake. We are only human, no?

The previous comments speak for themselves on how certain arbitrary readers are confused over the said fake article.

Nevertheless, it is rather ironic that only after she posted the generator link did you made an entry on your personal blog of a similar generated newspaper hence questioning your prior realization stand on the validity of the article.

Moreover, your latest post seems to have the motive of tricking people that it is indeed a valid newspaper cutting. Again, contradicting elements arise. 

Please be more apt, and not just fire away at people.</description>

		<description>Hey. I noticed something. August 30th is so close to Merdeka this year. Is the article trying to insult the day we celebrate our Independence after proving to the whole world that we're able to co-exist harmoniously.

Perhaps i'm getting out of topic (pls ignore me if i am being ignorant/lame) but isn't Merdeka is like having our L- license to rule/control/ build a place we call our home/country/ 'tanah tumpah darah'.

Just my 2 cents worth.</description>

		<description>No, i believe the effort you put in your entry on this topic is not futile at all, though it may not reach to so many people, but hey, it got to me !!
Yeah, we can't just sit down quietly and ignore such act of extremism.  i gotta go with cynical idealist "we do not have to sink to his level"...</description>

		<description>ashkenne.....

What do you think we are? Stupid? Of course we know it's not a real newspaper. But it's the message written on the 'fake' newspaper by the author that's riling everyone up.

And if you have nothing to say about the content of the article, then you really don't have much to say because EVERYTHING IS ABOUT THE CONTENT.

Thank you.
