Email Blast Kills Two, Wounds Eight

Email Blast Kills Two, Wounds Eight

RALEIGH, N.C. (CAP) - A targeted email blast ripped through the downtown offices of a small legal firm in this city yesterday, killing two employees instantly and sending eight others to the emergency room.

The origin of the blast has been traced back to an insurgent internet marketing company in Arlington, Va. Reports indicate that the blast was set to go off at 10am since many marketers believe office employees are more vulnerable to weapons of mass email during the early morning hours.

"The audacity of these rogue organizations is beyond comprehension," Raleigh's chief of police told reporters at the scene. "Their growing desperation in today's economy has made them resort to increasingly harsh and brutal promotional tactics."

The message of the email blast has not yet been released by officials, but it is believed to be related to increasing company search engine rankings, and may have also included an invitation to attend a free webinar.

Twitter Assholes Take Full Credit For Bomber's Capture
Twitter Assholes Take Full Credit For Bomber's Capture

BOSTON (CAP) - Twitter's vast network of assholes is taking credit this week for the location and capture of Boston Marathon bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, noting that without their constant uninformed speculation, it's highly doubtful he would have been found.

"We were tweeting literally 24 hours a day all week about this," noted a Twitter asshole known as @sux4uu. "We had some really good ideas, like that it was fundamentalist Muslim clerics, or renegade priests, or Whitey Bulger."

Though not a single suggestion on Twitter wound up yielding anything close to reality, @sux4uu noted that without their contributions, the investigation would have been "wicked boring."

The assholes also heralded their ongoing transcription and regurgitation of myriad sources, both legitimate and specious - including Tweeting out information from police scanners that officials said could have tipped off the suspect to their strategy.

"We were like doing the media's job for them," said Twitter asshole @PantsHockey, whose scanner Tweets as authorities approached the suspect in Watertown prompted an official response from the Boston Police Department: "Knock it off, asshole!"

"Whatevs. #bostonstrong!," tweeted @PantsHockey in response.
