It's An Outrage!

clip_image002

Do you - only too often - see news stories where people stridently claim 'It's an outrage!' about something you've never even noticed, let alone thought about before? Do you feel outraged by your inability to find something to get outraged about? Do you need that sense of outraged self-justification that will give shape, definition, and - maybe - even meaning to YOUR otherwise drab and meaningless existence?

Yes?

Then you need People Who Need To Feel Outraged About Something (PWNTFOAS).

PWNTFOAS is the new umbrella group for people who feel outraged that they are missing out by not being outraged by something.

These days it seems that hardly a day can go by without some item appearing on the news featuring someone, or some group, claiming to be outraged by something or other. It can be a trivial little petty thing like some celebrity, or other citizen of medialand saying, doing, wearing, taking, eating, something that one of these people can find 'offensive', through being offended by something in the media itself, right up to the vital issue of feeling outraged that what they have to say is far too important to their own overriding sense of self-esteem to be ignored, no matter how trivial the actual subject matter.

PWNTFOAS has been formed for those people who feel their feelings of self-justifying outrage have not yet found a subject, people who feel they are not getting the attention they feel they deserve from an ungrateful and indifferent world.

PWNTFOAS is for those people who feel the need to be a part of the 21st Century's update of Descartes' famous dictum: I am on the telly, therefore I am.

PWNTFOAS will scour the news TV, radio, internet and the press looking for any item, no matter how small or insignificant that it feels one, or more, of its members can work up at least some mild indignation about.

Not only that, PWNTFOAS will draft and announce a press release for those outraged members to read out in front of journalists - and - hopefully - those all-important TV cameras.
