The writer has clearly suffered a sudden and terrible loss of vowel control.
No need to get my coat, I didn't bother taking it off.
Aliens seize control of Daily Telegraph
Oh great #

Oh great, first the threat of the Lizard Army taking over and now this...
Maybe the aliens and the Lizard Army will fight it out for control of the Earth.
I wonder if the first contact was amanfromMars?
Alien icon because I can't find the 'amanfromMars' icon.

time to get my tinfoil hat and coat out, looks like govt are trying to hide the real truth behind the massive debt they're putting us in - I'm sure the article's author is currently in a safe house in cairo being tortured for the truth as we speak....

"Maybe the aliens and the Lizard Army will fight it out for control of the Earth." .... By Rob Beard Posted Thursday 21st February 2008 09:50 GMT
A Coalition of the Willing was the last siginificant Vogue, Rob. MeThinks LA would do Beta 42Entertain that Vow All Movement ......... http://www.42entertainment.com/default.html.
And that may be something the esteemed Andrew Orlowski may be cruising the West Coast with, as he considers a reply to "So who'll pay for Internet 3.0, then? Any ideas?. " .... http://www.theregister.co.uk/2008/02/20/iplayer_isps_broke/
And considering how simple it is to render simple text to a web page, the fact that it still remains encoded/unintelligible may suggest that the Barclay Brothers want to Play Great Virtual Games.... which would be XXXXCellent news.
Bravo, Gents, and Welcome to Magical Mystery Turing with ITs AIMs for Capitalising Captured Markets and Releasing Treasured/Buried/Vaulted Equity ...... Stolen/Purloined/Allocated/Resting/Distressed Wealth from the XXXXCess Pools.
And if that is "Jumping" too far ahead in One Small Step for a Man Territory, at least now they know what is ahead if they want to make AI Quantum Leap into ITControlLed Fields of CyberIntelAIgent Play.

I think they infringed at least 12 Nintendo trademarks there!
It's the straight jacket and the hat with the propeller.
That was quick #

That was quick! Afterall, they only landed yesterday - in a large exclusion zone in the Pacific under the guise of 'shooting down' a satellite and while half the world was busy looking the other way at the lunar eclipse.
What are we supposed to think #
Posted Thursday 21st February 2008 11:10 GMT
When they mention milk and honey, a form of Nu Labour, silly, soldiers, bodyguards and riacin.
Some conspiracy nutcase in the Torygraph having a laugh with some silly attempt at subliminal messaging or perhaps somebody in the Torygraph having a laugh at tin foil hat nutcases.
Whatever - it is a practical joke.
Hmmm #

As good as what was intended #

Thank you, the Reg -- hugely enjoyable. Aliens at the Daily Telegraph: that could explain a lot.
Unfortunately, they've corrected it now. I suppose they generate the markup and something went wrong with their transformation.
The writer's words disappeared into the ether. Did it matter? He thought what he had to say mattered -- at least he did at the time. Will he even remember what he wrote in a year's time? In the scheme of things newspaper content is just temporary scribbling, and total gibberish is as good as what was intended.
Reminds me of a Two Ronnies sketch... #

In a surprising move, people at the Telegraph don't actually worship Thatcher, but are actually Cthulu followers who admire his small-government, low-tax and death to mankind policies.

Look at the now-corrected version. That text is a lift of blog traffic from "Guido Fawkes" at the end of the full article. Not a windup, but padding.
Off to prepare for the iiiiiiiinvasiiiiiiion.
