Consumption Malfunction - the original sin.

Accused arsonist 'lit fires monthly'

February 14th 2009 23:01
The accused arsonist who allegedly lit a deadly blaze that claimed the lives of 21 had a blog on Australia's most popular blogging website Orble called "Lighting Fires Monthly".

Detectives are unclear whether there is a link between anti-social behaviour, such as blogging and more social activities, such as having barbecues in the backyard.

Chief Executive Officer of Orble, Tom Cruise, had this to say about the presence on Australia's most popular blogging site of someone engaged in outdoor activities:

Hi -- I've sent you an email already but sometimes they don't get through. Would you like a domain for this blog? If so send an email to charles -at- orble.com (change the -at- into a @) and he will be able to set one up for you.

You may also need to add the email address admin -at- orblemail.com to your address book in order to receive Orble admin emails in the future.

Thanks,
Tom.

(Orble Admin)

The response accompanied by some hopping on the couch, variously known as analysis or an expresson of love, has met with widespread commendation from the community.

"The votes for the accused's first post entitled "Welcome to Lighting Fires Monthly" have reached unprecedented levels. It just goes to show you the value of lighting fires monthly," Tom said.

"It's worth noting that doing it on a regular basis will attract the attention of the wider community. If you're looking for someone to blame, don't blame me," the accused writes.

The thing about "Lighting Fires Monthly" is that it is a very specific topic like "Z Cars" is about cars or 20/20 Filmight" is about movies and since I have started blogging I have learned that sites that are very specific get the most traffic.

Probably after the last week's events, the site is even more popular. Narrowing down the subject, widens the audience it seems.

That's some pretty opportunistic blogging. Reminds me of the Orble blogger who set up "9/11 Victims Unite", two weeks after the 9/11 tragedy. The site was basically a homage to terrorism, yet he did get an enviable amount of "hits".

JC, Christ, that's so true. I love it. I think our community has to take responsibility for its worst. We don't have any problem taking responsibility for our best.

Davo, I reckon. Even worse was that I think they set it up in late August. Of course, they only crashed those planes to justify their blog. By the way, yesterday saw the arrival of a new blog called "Michael Slater Talk Under Wet Cement". I hope it sets.

Morgy, it's a case of chicken and egg. Farmer's Union are releasing a new product. The chickens are so free range they run amok in the supermarket. It was Tom's idea.
