Well, sure, everyone enjoys any books, movies or newspaper articles about people farking horses and horses farking people.

That's the first rule of entertainment: Horse sex sells.

I wonder how they got all that traffic. There *must* have been some other website sending readers there, but I guess we'll never know.

This guy is surprised that the internet doesn't want to read about local seattle issues?

Did you ever notice that a lot of online paper's web sites, you have to be Sherlock Holmes to even figure out what state (and/or what country) they're operating out of? That right there tells you they don't understand the web.

nin_man: I wonder how they got all that traffic. There *must* have been some other website sending readers there, but I guess we'll never know.

Hmmmm.... I wonder what the possibilities for that website might be. It's probably a popular message board site that posts links to funny stories. Maybe Slashdot?

Dear Editors,

While I applaud your decision to remove "Marmaduke" from the funnypages (Yeah we get it, he's a big dog) I am appauled at your decision to run "Horny Pony" in its place.

I don't find the humor in a man having his colon perforated by a pony with an oversized member. And what the hell is the caption is "Now run and tell your mama about that!" supposed to even mean? I mean my kids read this stuff. Who is going to raise the centaurs that can result in this sort of perversion?

There's blood on your keyboard Mr. Editor, centaur placental blood AND perforated colon blood.

Indignantly yours in Nooksack,

FORMER reader

Were any Seattle Times stories on this case greenlit on Fark? When I submit a story from the local paper and it gets 5,000 to 10,000 hits, that is several times the readership of any story not listed on Fark. The horse sex stories I found in the archives got over 20,000 clicks but were not from the Times.

Of my many greenlights, only two got over 50,000 clicks:
Girl-on-girl action on rise in Boston as vaseline-smeared teens go at it, often in public. "It's an automatic audience" (59000),
High school girl sent home from school for wearing camouflage. Tight, form-fitting camouflage (pic) (75000).

You're all a bunch of perverts.

Great use of the tag.
 
2005-12-30 11:08:43 AM
This situation does raise potential problems, though. If efforts to boosts viewership for advertising dollars continue to the point that online news becomes targetted towards only what is popupar, real news will become a thing of the past. The press plays a vital, watch dog role. I would hate to see serious papers like this go the way of the National Enquirer.

/yes, I did read the article on horse sex
//could not believe that the dead guy was on the receiving end
 
2005-12-30 11:08:44 AM
This in the Local Seattle Paper yesterday on this very subject....yeah....

They interviewed the Horse....

A horse is a horse, of course, of course,
And Mr. Hands should not be Farkin' that horse of course
That is, of course, unless the horse is the famous Mister Ed.

Getting the ButtSecks from the source and yep, it's from a horse
Hell ram you deep into your endorse.
Hes gonna rip your colon of course.
Farkin' with Mister Ed.

Mr. Hands won't yakkity yak and waste your time of day 'cause he's dead
And Mr. Ed would like to say he's sorry but you should be farkin' a girl instead.

A horse is a horse, of course, of course,
And this ones on video making us laugh 'til we're hoarse.
What!? You've not heard of this kinky pron source?

Well listen to this: "Don't Fark with Mister Ed."

From the Desk of the Enumclaw Horse

I Do Regret What Happened, but He-He-He Begged Me
I, the Enumclaw horse, regret farking Kenneth Pinyan to death on that warm summer night in July. It was not my intention to kill the poor man, but he-he-he kept asking for more and more of me. To the best of my ability, I informed the men who were helping me fark (having sex with a human requires teamwork) that I was deep enough already, but Pinyan told us that he-he-he could handle ithe-he-he wanted all of me in him. And I gave him all of me, and it wasn't like he-he-he screamed or anything. He-he-he just said, "Big Dick"that's the name he-he-he gave me"Big Dick, I think something popped." I pulled out, and he-he-he stood up, and at that moment all of us in the barn knew from the look on his face that the worst had happened. We passed the living limit that stands between a man and a horse like myself, he-he-he was soon to meet the maker of all thingsthe maker of this farm, the maker of grass, the maker of Mount Rainier, which I stare at when I'm not eating grass. The next day, I learned from other animals on the farm that by the time he-he-he was dumped at the hospital, he-he-he was, he-he-he was, he-he-he was dead for sure. Pinyan. I will always remember the happy times we had in the barn.

I love carrots.

On a tangential note, if you haven't seen 40-year-old Virgin yet, check it out.

Cal: We went to Tijuana, Mexico, you know? And we thought it would be fun, you know, to go to a show. Everybody says you gotta check out one of these shows. And... it's a woman farkin' a horse. We get there and we think it's gonna be awesome and... it is not as cool as it sounds like it's gonna be. It's kinda gross.
Andy Stitzer: Yeah.
Cal: You think "A woman farkin' a horse" and you get there and... it's a woman farking a horse.
Andy Stitzer: Yeah.
Cal: It was really giving it to her. And you know what? To be honest I just felt bad for her, we all just felt bad for her.
Andy Stitzer: Yeah.
Cal: I kinda felt bad for the horse!

I had a weekend. We went to Tijuana, Mexico, you know... and we thought it would be fun, you know, to go to this show. Everyone's, "You gotta check out one of these shows." And, you know, it's a woman farking a horse. We get there, and, you know, we think it's gonna be awesome... and it is not as cool as it sounds like it would be, man. It's kind of gross. You think, "A woman farking a horse"... and you get there and it's... a woman farking a horse. It was really giving it to her. And you know what... to be honest, I felt bad for her. We all just felt bad for her. Kind of felt bad for the horse.

Actually, BrotherTheodore, the horse DID fark the man. That's how he ended up with the lethal perforated colon.

5. Vanity plate shows drug formula

I think I remember this one, and the formula was just the chemical formula plain old ethanol (booze), wasn't it? Or at least it was something relatively tame, anyhow. And that headline makes it sounds like the plate showed the recipe for making the "drug" or something like that.

Don't despair, draven301. All it takes to get articles approved is a warped mind and an understanding of the sickos that hang out here. A dose of syphillis should do the trick. You can pick it up in your local red light district.

From TFA:

"As for me, this is my 98th column for 2005. None made the peoples' top 20 though I have high hopes for this one because it mentions horse sex."

I think he's gonna be suprised.

It's not only papers, but TV news as well. They give you their catchy slogan, like 'The Tri-County Area's News Source' which don't really mean much outside of that area.

No. They don't. That's the problem.

AP, Reuters and the like, sure. Local news, nope. They assume everyone reading it is familiar with them and where they are.

The COLON PERFORATION HUMOR ON THIS THREAD IS REDICULOUS!

Listen, there was no need for that at all. My daughter actually was reading it and I had to send her to her room. She was actually crying because I wouldn't let her RTFT and RTFA!

I am a good, decent parent, how the heck did she find out about this website, and why did she get so upset when I refused to let her read it?

I pulled her out of the school system two years ago so I can only assume she got it from the other kids at swimming lessons. Is nothing sacred? Is nothing safe?
We are talking about our children here and this filth has become mainstream!

I realize most of you think this junk is very funny, but I can't just sit by and let the lowest common denominator dictate morals to my children anymore.

I hope they take this horrible "entertainment" show off the interweb for good. It's not censorship, it's simply common sense.

It is good that you are supervising what your child accesses on the internets. Bully for you as a good parent.

The answer to the other two is No and No.
 
2005-12-30 12:42:03 PM

As I look back at the year in news, it's clear I should have focused more on people having sex with horses.



Horsesecks?
