For. Well written, "newsy"-looking UnNews, very funny, topical, accompanied by an awesome, deadpan UnNews audio by the same author... if this doesn't get featured, I swear to God , I'll start writing Jesus articles again.

- Against. Don't think it's strong enough as a feature. Sorry Spike.

Non-silent weak abstain. I usually silently abstain, but I really like the concept for this article a lot and wanted to say so, and the writing is fine. It just feels a little under-developed. It doesn't need to be article-I-wrote-long, but if I saw this in a newspaper, I would be cursing the journalist for lack of details and trying to find a fuller article or at least a transcript of the talk. In thickness, it's more like those local TV news sites that publish transcripts of their broadcasts with bylines added and formatted to look like a newspaper article on the internet, rather than, say, a BBC article or a Washington Post article. I really hope Spike might consider extending it, even though audio has already been recorded. --monika 03:56, June 1, 2010 (UTC)
- Monika, thanks for the detailed review. But my idea of UnNews is as the "drive-by media"--Screech up to the victim, fire a few rounds, roll up the window, and drive away. The illustration of the absurdity of Calderón going to Congress to lecture us on domestic policy could surely have been done in more detail but the joke would not have been any funnier, and far better to instead use the time to hit 8 other topics so far. It's not an in-depth medium; but, as you say, it's not the only one. Sadly, most UnNewses cease to be topical long before they accumulate 15 VFH votes. Spıke ¬ 20:05 2-Jun-10
- OK, you bastards. Buckle up, because I'm going on a jesus-article writing rampage! AAAAAAIIIIIIIIIII!!!!!! (urp)
