The Daily Novel

I was somewhat irritated the other day when I had decided to try and attract youth to my site. My students often rely on free hatmail and put up blogs free on the Microsoft live.spaces site. I decided to learn from them so opened up a site there and copied my Power from shit story posted her the day before.

The Bill Gates lot deemed it unacceptable, so I had to change the wording to Power from manure which does not quite have the same ring to it. But I wanted to get the story out because it is about sustainable energy from municipal waste and manure unearthed in Florida by one of my ex-students worknig for the St Petersburg Times lot. David Adams.

Tonight I thought I would do a little research and find out just how Microsoft was controlling our world. Just how is the biggest ever monopoly in the history of capitalism controlling the world in which we live.

In summary I found that I could use all the four letter words in the text but not in the headline. The headline allowed me to say that Bill Gates had a crap every day but not that he had a shit every day. That is American imperialism invading the English language.

But then I went on. Headlines can say that Christ was gay, that Bill Gates has sex with all and sundry. But I cannot say that anyone fucks anyone.

As we say in the journo’s trade you could not make it up.
