Hmmm, this is Farkworthy?

This is a typical news article...

Police say the white Bonneville hit the red van spinning that van completely around and a third car narrowly missed.

Good job, writer and/or editor.

With a headline like that, I was expecting a drunk snowboarder faceplanting in a snowbank. The reality of the article wasn't all that funny.

headline + article - beer = subby fails

gregory311: No mention of alcohol in article + ordinary story = subby fails.

FTFA: "We have reports that one car was all over the roadway, we don't necessarily know what that means at this point, but that's why we're investigating," says Eric Tamashasky, with the fatal alcohol crash team.

Snow is excellent for chilling your beers in a hurry. Driving all over the roadway (or dying) is Not. Cool.

Begoggle		2007-12-19 10:25:34 AM

Fail.

Also, zero mention of snow as a cause or aggravating influence.

Subby=retard

chitownmike		2007-12-19 10:27:31 AM

OK read TFA
"It's too early right now for factors involved in the accident. We have reports that one car was all over the roadway, we don't necessarily know what that means at this point, but that's why we're investigating," says Eric Tamashasky, with the fatal alcohol crash team.

Subby is a retard

This article is proof that I have pissed off the greenlighting gods since the funny, interesting things I submit never make the cut.

Precisely. I'm not saying that the very few things I submit are uproariously funny, but the absolute tripe that does get green-lit is proof that there's got to be some inside shiat going on.

A$$man		2007-12-19 10:30:32 AM

Did I submit this story?

Alcohol investigators ALWAYS investigate fatal traffic accidents, whether alcohol was involved or not. The article made no mention whatsoever that alcohol was involved. You fail too. Go sit in the corner with subby.

This confirms my belief that greenlights are randomly chosen by a team of monkeys.

I don't get it? A random news story, do you want a medal?

no fark here. just some funny pictures promoting pilsners.

Pujols		2007-12-19 10:51:51 AM

Well, it reads like it is a straight transcript of whatever they read on the air that night--thus the one line paragraphs. Seems like a lot of these stations don't realize that copy for your TV reporters reads at about a third-grade level in print.

Seven people were taken to the hospital tonight because of a head-on crash in Granger.

People had to be cut out of two of the cars involved.

The crash happened about seven-thirty ~~tonight~~ last night on State Road 23 near Filbert Road, which is between Fir and Gumwood.

~~That is between Fir and Gumwood.~~

Police say the white Bonneville hit the red van, spinning that van completely around ~~and a third car~~ with the van narrowly ~~missed~~ missing a third car.

Everyone was taken to the hospital with injuries ranging from the critical to simple bumps and bruises.

~~However t~~The driver in the white Bonneville has been confirmed dead.

"It's too early right now ~~for~~ to know the factors involved in the accident. We have reports that one car was all over the roadway, we don't necessarily know what that means at this point, but that's why we're investigating," says Eric Tamashasky, with the fatal alcohol crash team.

State Road 23 was closed but re-opened Tuesday evening between Cleveland and Fir after police investigated and cleaned up the crash.

The only problem with that beer is that its name is somewhat difficult to pronounce correctly. Really good stuff.

Buuuuurp.

I posted this. The news said that he had 7 times the legal limit in him and that he was all over the road. i do not know why it made it to the front page. But this shows that people are idiots. People who dink and drive need to die but not take others with them.

I knew there was something missing from that equation. Snow+Beer=FUN. Snow+Beer+Driving=OUCH.

Having known many dinks, I agree.

I noticed the article had a FARKit button - I reckon the Mods are rewarding their use to encourage take-up.
