Introspective blog causes outward anger


Monday, Subang - Large crowds gathered in Subang Jaya today to protest the lack of activity on Introspection, the blog of renowned online plagiariser Athalia Kim Lee. Crowds numbering up to 3000 gathered near the Lee household from as early as 10am, when morning surfers logged-on to find no significant new updates in the last six days. The angry mob was eventually forced to disperse after the Fifth Royal Malaysian Guards sprayed tear gas into the crowds.

One furious protester, who requested to remain unidentified, said: "This is ridiculous! We work very hard and when we log on to Introspection, we expect to have something new. My children are lost without her". Two other protestors suffered crush injuries while a bystander was reportedly treated at a nearby clinic for respiratory difficulties. Introspection has been undergoing some changes of late, most notably, a url change that sparked a mild panic among ardent fans late last week. Disgruntled fans, however, were pacified when Athalia's new url was leaked by sources close to the blogger, and hits on her blog peaked on Saturday night, when many were expecting Miss Lee's maiden post at her new address.

Professor of Philosophy of Blogism, Steve McKenzie, said late yesterday that "when a high-demand blogger tries to hide from her readership, this usually results in anger. And when this trend is met with a distinct lack of new posts, such anger has been known to turn violent". Professor McKenzie's words were fulfilled this morning when at least one fan attempted to chuck stones at Athalia's dog, whom at press time, remains unnamed. -Reliyabelsauce

This story was reported on 14 May this year by F. Ong. I'm digging it out and publishing it here because [fill in the blanks yourself]. For the record, I am not an online plagariser! This is enough to sue the reporter.

To the rest of the world, hello once again and welcome new readers!

Here's to many more posts.
