Bring Back the Newspaper!
« on: September 02, 2009, 10:28:46 PM »

Okay, so I get that you guys may not like the added labour/cost/whatever other reasonable excuses you may come up with, but I have come up with a splendid list of reasons as to which you should bring the damned thing back into circulation. Are we allowed to say 'damn' on this forum?

1. After the WOE is over, you obviously have a lot of cooped up frustrations, angers and other menopausal-man emotions rushing through your system. I feel that a satirical newspaper is probably the best format for releasing these negative energies. I hear creative expression is more effective than yoga for releasing such energies. (Okay, I can't lie to you guys. I didn't hear it anywhere. I made it up. I'm sorry.)

2. When Harry Potter ended, most teenagers stopped reading, which is a massive shame/national crisis/big massive event worthy of attention and all the rest of it. But you lot alone (okay, alice conceded, maybe not alone) have the power to thwart it- since all Chaser products have been a smash hit with teens, they'd obviously love to have a newspaper to read of which you guys made for them.

3.Television is an all-too-convenient medium for fake fans to jump on the bandwagon. See, my theory is that television shows are a bit like the football comp: you support certain teams, and you set aside time to watch these teams, but there's a Great Dividing Range between the fake supporters, who are just tagging along because the team's winning, and the real supporters, who have backed their team forever and have taken the marriage vow 'till death do us part'(or something to that effect; never having been married, I'm relying on movies and sitcoms for my primary research here) to a whole new level. Don't let the team down, my dear Chasers: fight on with your newspaper, fight until the last drop of ink has struggled its way from your charming little printing press.

Convinced? I know I am.

Hi Maj.

Good effort.

I doubt they've got enough in them to do a newspaper again... going by how often they update the website.

Exhibit A: http://www.chaser.com.au/

They can't be bothered writing it and noone would buy it.
End of story.

Well, I agree they don't have it in them to do another newspaper. I'd be shocked if they had it in them to make up another headline. I know about the website, hey!! Disastrous. It makes me cry at night. But it's not true that no-one would buy it-- i know i would!

Do you cry before, after or while you dream about Chas?

Before it's a cry of frustration, during it's a cry of fulfillment and after is a cry of longing.

I refuse to comment...except that I agree: Chas wouldn't disappoint. But I feel this conversation might be corrupting my chances of another newspaper.

What chances? They never existed except in your poor deluded mind. :D

I never actually read the paper. It disappeared just as I was discovering these fuckers...

Correction, he's an Italian man. Bound to disapoint.
