Mayo Echo keeps up with the times

Grandad June 5th, 2008

The Mayo Echo has bowed to public pressure.

Having succeeded in closing down Castlebar.ie they have decided to revamp their own site.

In a statement yesterday, their editor commented that “if you can’t beat ‘em - join ‘em”.

A preview of their new site can be seen here.

The editor couldn’t be contacted today as it is believed that having discovered homosexuality, he is off cruising the local lakeside car parks in the hope of a bit of perversion.

    That’s fucking unbelievably fucking good.

    Thank you, Mr Geraghty.

    This concept of “copyright fucking” intrigues me. It has also given me the idea of registering hundreds of drooling trademarks.

    Dammit, you’re making me think of things again.

    Emordino - If you could copyright fucking, just think of the royalties?! Sorry… Just made you think again. :(

    I love the google ad (not a spoof) which points to TripAdvisor:

    “County Mayo
    Get the Scoop from Travelers Who Know County Mayo!”

    Just looked at bocks site , the Mayo Echo view is reminiscent of Mc Carthyism

    Caro - Invariably Google advertise the opposite to whatever I’m writing about. Whenever I write a pro-pipe smoking piece, I get all the ‘Give up smoking’ ads! :)

    Thanks Roy. :|

    The whole story is the stuff of a badly written comedy…..

    Nick - Don’t let me detain you. Thanks for stopping long enough!!

    I couldn’t do it, I’m a married man after all. I told him he’d have better luck at Lough Lannagh. That’s the hot spot, I hear.

    The story is outrageous and the damage done by these lecherous reports is dreadful. The idea of a website being shut down is awful!

    Nick - I’m glad to hear it. Lough Lannagh? Where did you hear that?

    Walls - I am just hoping that at least one, if not all the car owners sue! It is gutter press at its worst.
