From Pee Review[edit source]
I've always wondered what people would say about some of my UnNews on here. I guess it's time to find out. --Composure1 20:43, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
Humour: | 5 | Not bad. Political (as all satire is), and somewhat of a one-trick pony (but that's true of most/all UnNewses). |
Concept: | 7 | Cute idea. It's a rather clever play on the minimum wage hike that reverses the roles of the two political parties well. |
Prose and formatting: | 10 | Terrific formatting, perfect for UnNews. The writing is very well done, and I can think of nothing that would improve it. |
Images: | 7 | Solid picture. Good caption. |
Miscellaneous: | 5 | True satire, but without the punch that's needed to have lasting effect. This article is trying to be cute, and is, and is thus harmless fun. |
Final Score: | 34 | This article is somewhat disjointed in that it's a political satirical article, yet fun and rather harmless. Satire is best with an edge, and political humor almost always needs that to really be effective. This article also suffers from the "one article, one joke" syndrome, which is common with UnNews. That being said, the joke is pretty funny, and the writing carries the article enough so that it is a solid addition to the UnNews family. Not VFH certainly, but improves the average quality of UnNews, just the same. |
