This is a link post I'm in the news today, oh boy
seems that someone used my now-defunct BBC News Generator to fake a story about rapper Lil' Wayne being killed.

Consequently I got hits from all over the world and the site got suspended for going over the bandwidth limits.

At least I got the phrase "Gilgamesh BBC tool is 'dogs bollocks'" onto the Guardian's website AND Lil' Wayne made an announcement on his myspace that he was still alive.

And the NME

And a lot more news sites

They said "The site allows you to type in any old nonsense, including words like 'penis'". I think I actually love you!

This is a normal post You're a fake, baby, and I'm disgusted
"False reports on a known fake website Kinetic North surfaced a few hours ago saying Lil Wayne had been fatally shot.The fake site gave fake detailed info about a murder that never happened. The fake site is known for making up false celebrity death reports. A ridiculous amount of traffic shut the site down for a while right after the fake story was posted"

The game is through and girl you're busted, you're a fake!

Happy Christmas you mentalist :)
