    It's a travesty. Make sure you contact Joe Duffy in the morning.

    People interest stories like this are what the public want to hear. Fight the man.

    He's lucky to only get five years. What if a St.Bernanrd needed some Brandy for a passed out citizen?

    Loved the judge's comment:
    Judge Redmond also stated “your mouth, Mr. Lafferty, is where the truth goes to die and now it is where sperm will go to die, enjoy prison and I hope you rot in jail for your crimes”.

    Shocking stuff OP - almost as bad as the Garda jailed for 12 months with the last 6 suspended for refusing to have penalty points quashed for his Uncle. The country has gone to the dogs.

    It's not fake, it's satire. And hilarious.
    Did this not make you think?
    The 9.55pm rush is a strange phenomenon similar to the Bermuda triangle whereby off licences have a magnetic pull on alcohol consumers which sees them descend in large number on a premises despite their only being five minutes of available time to pick, choose and queue to pay for their alcohol.

    “It was getting to the stage where I had over five hundred people coming in at that time and I just couldn’t cope with the crowds,” Mr. Lafferty added before being told to ‘shut up’ by Judge Redmond.

    Judge Redmond, added that despite it being entirely illegal he would permit the public to throw any objects in the direction of Mr. Lafferty as he exited the courtroom. Judge Redmond also stated “your mouth, Mr. Lafferty, is where the truth goes to die and now it is where sperm will go to die, enjoy prison and I hope you rot in jail for your crimes”.

    No.

    So it is fake. May also be satire, but regardless, it is fake.

    So, say, Animal Farm is also "fake"?

    So we are now both answering a question with a question?

    ...both are fiction, so yes.

    the problem is using the word "fake"

    satire, spoof, "not a true story" etc are more accurate

    "fake" to me is when someone is trying to mislead you by portraying something untrue as true - lying basically. Satire is not about doing that.

    I'm glad the thread has gone down the "fake" vs. "satire" route. Should make for fascinating reading over the next 10 pages or so. Much more interesting than the OP.

    Guess there is still gullible people who believe everything they read.

    Had thought that people who peruse the internet were aware WW was a satire site.

    Our country can not move forward until all the Off-Licence owners realise that the 9:59pm dash to get cans is an intregral part of our society!! I think he should be given life without parole! :P:D:pac:
