Yeah, link is dead so I deleted the post.
Pretty fucking stupid April fools joke if it was one because it was a very believable story (unlike the frog cake stadium for e.g.) and might have influenced the vote of whoever got a chance to read it and whoever then got the news second hand.
I hope some editor/journo gets their arse kicked for this. The Advertiser's getting worse by the day.

Nah I wrote it. I thought I was a subtle as a fart in an elevator.
In related news, apparently my job is being relocated to Christmas Island.

Well you almost killed my Friday but I think I can forgive you...you have an obvious talent for writing tabloid articles - perhaps you should sign up to our favourite paper as a journalist

Haha, much less subtle! Completely believable given what's gone on with this project.

Or that time when Shuz (or one of his aliases) wrote that fake article on the Currie Street tower. That wasn't even April's Fools!
