I admire him actually. For foreigners benefit, he refused to wear a remembrance poppy whilst reading the news. The rest is mostly fiction. The Channel 4 newsreader Jon Snow has been found dead.
Police have revealed that the silver haired frontman, who complained this week of “poppy fascism”, was found skewered with a javelin, which formed the “pin” of a giant remembrance poppy. There was a note found attached to his body which simply read “That should prick your conscience”. The coroner swiftly returned a verdict of “death by misadventure”.
Snow is the third celebrity to be found dead in similar circumstances, Crimewatch presenter Jill Dando was found shot dead in 1999, after failing to wear a shamrock on St. Patricks Day. In 2004 Terry Wogan, Irish Eurovision presenter, was crushed to death, when a giant red nose destroyed his Essex home.

Some marvellous images here, Oli... did you submit your evidence to Chief Inspector Hamish McTavish re: Ms Dando?

Written by Phil (8763 comments posted) 12th November 2006 | I wondered what was coming when I spotted the title. Funny piece - but still a little disturbing as the idea of Snow being skewered on a javelin by some mad, twisted thought-vigilante is quite believable.
What a world.
Enjoyed.
All the best,
Phil. |

You had a good idea but I don't think your heart was really in it.
cheers

I thought I was an acerbic reviewer! Here's ElliP laughing uncontrollably, and you can't even see the gag!!!
Its only a bloody newsflash. How long should that be?
I love you really, I do. My nemesis.

Written by kitten_princess (31 comments posted) 13th November 2006 | Well, I absolutely adore Jon Snow and Terry Wogan, so to see then finished off like this was, er, interesting... but I liked it a lot!
"Death by misadventure" though... I just loved the idea!
Yay for another good 'un! :D

Nice one!
