Absolutely engineered at the Something Awful forums. I was reading about it
there as it unfolded. Great stuff.

Something Awful isn't too popular here because of SA's past SPEWS
commentaries (and the forumites' brief venture into this newsgroup), so
don't expect very many regulars to find the humor in this.

Actually the story has appeared here already and in general full
credit was given to the way it was done. Very well done infact.
Almost of the regulars loved it.
