I hope no one believed this joke news item. By the time you read the part of the story quoted below you just had to believe it was pure fiction.

"According to Wal-Mart, America’s largest retailer, the company admits that more than 5,000 shoppers will be killed at their stores this holiday season."

I'd kill three for a new Amiga. Classic that is.

The question of whether anyone believed it isn't the issue. The fact that you posted it as news is.

This wasn't posted as news, it's in the other operating systems section. It's satire on the ridiculous consumerism of American culture.

You posted it in exactly the same manner as you post all your other irrelevant bullshït "news" items. Nowhere did you indicate that this was any kind of a joke.

Anyone that read a few paragraphs of it would soon realize what it is. Lighten up and relax, I don't want Amiga.org to be a humorless void. It's not posted in the news section it's in other operating systems. I also posted several MorphOS news items around the same time.

If your goal isn't to comment the link you are posting in some way, why am I reading this instead of dailycurrant.com?

I sort of liked the post. I also do not see the problem, looking at the section this was posted in. I also dont understand why everyone is complaining so much. this is a free website. sysadmin is not your employee. stop bitching. you dont like it? you dont read it. not that difficult. I do this all the time with topics that dont interest me.

Even though you're now claiming that this was not actual news at all?

It's not a news item, it was posted to one of the offtopic threads. There is not a lot of Amiga news to post right now. This is not your site, if you are going to criticize every post I make its time for you to get to work and post Amiga news. I'll be expecting at least one news item from you per day. Get to work please.

Uh, no, I won't be doing that, because: when I have no news to report, I opt to not report news. Instead of, y'know, posting any random crap that I think will boost a site's Google ranking or whatever.

@commodorejohn

That's not it, I consider Amiga.org a tech site. I report around 99% Amiga news and around 1% tech news that's of interest to most members. Please ignore threads that are not interesting to you.
