    It's quite a funny satire site I think but none of the articles ever seem to be credited. Anyone know?

    I must be the only person who doesn't find it funny.

    Its very good site.
    It also does a good job highlighting how brain dead some people are. Hilarious reading the comments from people thinking its real.

    Don't even need Google OP, just read their "about us" page.

    It's funny enough but I'm sick of people sending me links to it. One lad I know is always sending me their articles and ****e from joe.ie or ladsbible. Bit sad tbh, come up with something to talk about, you loser.

    My horoscope reads.... "Smearing butter on your naked self will only keep them at bay for so long."

    So you're telling me I've been doing this for weeks for nothing? :(

    Yes, you're special.

    Of course lots of people don't, you'll rarely find a style of comedy that is universally enjoyed.

    I like it myself. Well, the headlines are nearly always gold, but sometimes the accompanying articles can lag behind a bit.

    I think it's actually got better in recent times. I think a lot of people that don't find nothing funny whatsoever about it might well be the kind of people that are featured in the stories.

    Sometimes I skip straight down to the comments section to find people who don't understand what satire is, writing big paragraphs arguing about the article.

    It's written by a team of people, no?

    I love it, it's consistently brilliant. The Twitter account commentary on the ploughing championships was absolute gold!

    It can be hit or miss, but that's to be expected considering it's just 2 lads doing 3 or 4 stories a day. Some of the stuff is gold, some goes beyond simple humour.

    Cake, and grief counseling, will be available at the conclusion of the test

    When they wrote a story about Kanye west and his missus saying Ireland was a shithole, an American friend of mine shared the story on her FB page abusing them into the ground for not loving Ireland and all her friends joined in slating them as well.

    The Daily Mash is a lot funnier. None of the WWN articles even raised a chuckle. I suspect it's because they're too close to the typical Independant article. Actually, at least I can get a laugh out of the Independent.

    It's the Irish version of The Onion.

    In light of the 100's of spiders found in Carlow recently,

    "Deadly Carlow Family removed from Spider's home"

    One gave me a right chuckle recently.
