ATTACK OF THE FASHION ZOMBIES

-How to prevent your child from becoming a suicidal creature of the night in 5 easy steps-

It can happen to the best of us - one day your teenager is a nice, normal human being who sees no problem with wearing bright colours and Nike trainers, then the next minute they’ve begun to resemble a black-clad bloodsucking monster. It’s inevitable that soon they’ll be lying in a drug den slitting their wrists, or maybe even (horror of horrors) writing emotional poetry. So how is a parent to prevent this kind of trouble, I hear you cry? This easy step-by-step guide will show you how to prevent this kind of sickening habit from taking hold.

Recognition - How do you spot if your child is on the verge of becoming a suicidal ‘gothic’? There are many telltale signs to look out for, such as a wardrobe that becomes increasingly more full of black spiky things or a bizarre haircut (any hairstyle over four inches long on a boy is a sure sign), but one of the main things to listen out for is the music. That’s right folks; unfortunately anything other than a bit of classical Beethoven is sure to lead to trouble. I recommend banning any music in your home that a) features electric guitars, b) features drums of any sort or b) is performed by anyone wearing a mask, unless it’s an Andrew Lloyd Webber.

Environment - Everyone knows that anyone who goes around wearing nothing but black must be suffering greatly from depression. Going around with a cheery smile on your face is likely to rectify this, but if you find this unsuccessful I suggest investing in a few motivational posters. Any picture of a cute animal with an encouraging slogan underneath is guaranteed to brighten up anyone’s day, although a few coats of Sunshine Yellow on every wall in your house might help. If all else fails, there’s nothing that can’t be solved by a whole team of a psychiatrists, doctors and counsellors… in the mean time, you might want to lock up your medicine cabinet.

Peers - It is likely that your child will have been encouraged into this crazy fad by their friendship group. If you’re worried, try hiring a Private Investigator to follow your child and check that they’re not ‘hanging out’ anywhere unsavoury. If your child is found with a mile of a bar, music club, graveyard or desecrated church it is definitely cause for panic. Make sure you know the phone numbers of all their friends’ parents so that you can check up every hour, and it is also handy to have the police run a background check. Any friend with a nickname like ‘Spike’, ‘Jimbo’ or ‘Crazy Dave’ is going to be a bad influence and should be removed. You can hire people to do that, too.

Rules - Introducing new rules in your home is a sure-fire way to get your child to conform. This ‘night obsession’ is easily fixed with a curfew - simple ban them from going out after five. A few bars on the windows, and maybe a Rottweiler or two, will ensure this is obeyed. The internet is of course a danger zone, filled with paedophiles, wrist slitters and pirate videos, so it should be the first to go, followed by the TV, radio, microwave, any other electrical appliance and the bathtub (it’s a suicide cocktail waiting to happen). All posters, except for the aforementioned motivational kind, should be removed and burnt, especially any of Kurt Cobain or in fact anyone who doesn’t look savoury enough to meet your Grandmother. You can also ban any dark clothing, and if your child refuses this is easily fixed by dying their entire wardrobe hot pink. And buying more Nike trainers.

Active Restraint - If your son/daughter is too far gone in the ways of ‘gothicism’ or the ‘death cult’ as I like to call it, you may be forced to resort to violence. Now this may sound harsh, but it can be the only way. If they will persist in attempting to go to that Marilyn Manson concert, some chloroform and a length of rope is sure to prevent them. If you don’t have any chloroform handy, try a long plank of wood or a hammer. Remember this is in your child’s best interests - any further listening of this ‘rock’ music is sure to do them harm. If the worst comes to the worst, a straight jacket and a padded cell will sort them out for good.

So there you have it - follow this guide and your children are certain to turn out as normal, respected adults with office jobs. Isn’t that great?

BUSH DECLARES WAR ON SELF

"I HAD IT COMING" SAYS PRESIDENT

Yes, this is what it has finally come to.

After fighting against Afghanistan, Iraq, Iran, Bosnia, Uzbekistan, Syria, Germany, Algeria, Tunisia, Czechslovakia, Poland, Iceland, Antarctica, Canada, The Trekkie Society and America's Fishmongers United; George W. has now turned on himself in the war against terrorism.

"I am dangerous, and I need to be stopped. If we send in the weapons inspectors, I am 100% sure that they will find me in possesion of illegal weapons of mass destruction in the near future."

When asked why he had decided that he was indeed a terrorist, Bush replied:

"Well, it's obvious. I have killed loads of people, therefore I am a terrorist. I must be destroyed - someone has to foil this regime, and that someone is America. I consider my brains, or lack of them, to be an extremely dangerous weapon of mass dest... de... damaging stuff."

Unfortunately for Bush, no-one has shown any disagreement so far.

President Bush is now plotting to blow up the Whitehouse, with himself and everyone else inside.

"This is a top secret plan, and I will not know about it until it's too late. I will be blown to pieces in an explosion the size of Texas. Ha! I don't stand a chance against myself! I am so great."

Members of the Whitehouse have been retiring at an astonishing rate, meaning that now Bush is the only member of the senate, not to mention that all his staff have reported sick for the twentieth of January, the day the attack is scheduled. Bush's wife and kids have run away to New Zealand. Bush comments:

"Americanaliens, listen to me. I can't do this on my own. Luckily, my two invisiblised friends, Nigel P and Angelica have agreed to assist me in annihilating myself. But I will succeed!"

No news is available as yet on whether or not George Bush really is going to blow himself up or not, because nobody really cares. However, Tony Blair is joining in on the attack and has declared himself a terrorist as well. Unfortunately for Blair, no-one cares about him either. Oh well.

In other news soon to follow: Dale Winton Could Be Messiah, Man Revealed To Be Coathanger With Extra Penguins and Elvis Found To Be Alive and Female.

Please comment on this news, we welcome all comments from giant sock-eating monkeys.

Bush Says...
