2037-26: Talons Media Director Fired After Using Internet Essay Generator for Team News Posts. EDIT: Wikipedia, too.

Phoenix, AZ--

Reports have surfaced that the Talons front office have sacked their Director of Media and Message Board Posts, effective immediately.

Over the past 24 hours, a number of posts have been made to the BBA website in the forum titled Phoenix Talons that have not met team standards for quality content. The posts, still available on www.montybrewster.net, appear to be a mashup of sentences from numerous previous posts about the team, referencing a confusing array of topics, players, and events. These sentences, which appear in no particular order, fall well short of making any coherent point. What's worse, according to team officials, the posts have confused and dismayed members of the Talons Team News Fan Club.

According to persons knowledgeable about the matter, when the media director was called into the Talons front office, he was told of his dismissal in no uncertain terms. According to the source, the now former media director simply smiled, pulled out his phone, pressed one button, and walked out. Quickly, team officials scrambled to see what he had done. Checking the BBA forum website, to their shock they discovered yet another Team News post that was merely a copy of two Wikipedia articles. The damage had been done.

"I gotta give it to the guy, he got the last laugh," Talons GM Sean Marko said. "I guess we should have locked out his forum access before we fired him.... Yeah that would have been a good idea."

"Anyway," the GM continued, "Talons fans can rest assured that our posts will return to normal. And, additionally, we will be making psychological professionals available to any members of the Talons Team News Fan Club that have been traumatized by these recent events."

Go Talons!

I usually just copy and paste Rons articles and change the names to make it look legit. I guess wikipedia works too.
