Press Conference

ACTIVE IMMEDIATELY: for-humors-sake.blogspot.com is now under government control. Read article below for further information.

The U.S. government seized control of for-humors-sake.blogspot.com in a move that signaled the intensity of its concerns about the danger a collapse could pose to the blogosphere and the interweb as a whole. This intervention hopes to prevent the blog from falling into humor-bankruptcy.

The "writers" of the blog were downtrodden and held a press conference late Sunday night.

"We are sad to announce that our blog can no longer sustain itself due to the lack of hits and comments. A lack of consistent posting has also contributed to our doom. As a result, since we accepted government bailout money and we couldn't come up with a plan to rescue ourselves, the government will be taking over our blog as of today. We are sorry to our loyal reader and thank her for her support during this difficult blogonomic recession. The meatloaf sandwich you made me for lunch was delicious... I love you, mom."

This quote was followed by 20 minutes of crying and then 10 minutes of sobbing. They finalized the press conference with a Q and/or A session.

"How long do you think it will take for you to get your blog back?" - NY Times Reporter

"We really don't know... we're just trying to do our best right now. A part of the agreement would be that we cannot blog together any longer. We feel really lost right now. We didn't want it to come to this. We cannot reclaim the blog until we've proven we have gotten over our writer's block and athlete's foot. That could take 6-8 weeks ... maybe longer according to the box."

"What caused this takeover to be necessary?"

"Well to be honest, we squandered the government money. We didn't understand that this wasn't a handout to be used on anything. We saw the check and thought, we hit the AIG lottery, bonuses and vacations for everyone! It was not prudent on our part to burn the contract we signed... and we bought a lot of bubble wrap... A lot..."

A government representative came on to explain that blogging duties on for-humors-sake.blogspot.com would be taken over by "blog-bot 2000", or "bb2k." bb2k is a government-created computer program, programmed in the year 2000, hence the name. It will compile previous for humor's sake posts and will define a style and post in that style with events circa 1990-1999. Jared and Calvin had no comment on bb2k.
