Engadget, Gizmodo Users To Stage Throwdown At Flagpole
Engadget, Gizmodo Users To Stage Throwdown At Flagpole

NEW YORK (CAP) - Members of the popular tech websites Engadget and Gizmodo are planning to meet at the flagpole at 3pm tomorrow to determine once and for all which site reigns supreme, according to emails surreptitiously obtained by CAP News. Both sites stopped short of confirming such an event is in the works.

"Alexa numbers, ad dollars, none of that matters right now," said Gizmodo's Brian Lam in an exclusive sit-down with CAP News. "All that matters is that we put the smackdown on Rojas and his cronies and just be done with it."

Lam then smashed a SCSI card on the edge of a table and waved its jagged edges in the air at an imaginary foe. He winced as one of the edges pricked his finger, and then excused himself to go find a band-aid.

"Listen, if it's a fight Lam wants, it's a fight Lam gets," Engadget founder Pete Rojas said as he curled his hand around a roll of quarters. "I will go iPod on his Zune ass and not even think twice."

Rojas and Lam have both accused the other of playing dirty leading up to the big fight, with Rojas claiming that Lam plans to bring in ringers from the streetgangs.com message board because "Gizmodo users don't even know how to make a fist."

Lam has in turn accused Engadget users of illegal mods and overclocking, a practice typically frowned upon in tech gang fights. Lam said he was surprised to hear they're taking such an approach because "sucker punches and pulling hair is more their style."

Bloggers around the internet are abuzz with the news, with some saying they plan to Twitter live from the event as it's happening. A number of SEO's have already approached both sites with promises to make them #1 in search rankings for the term cat fight.

Some emails read by CAP News staffers indicated that if the cops get wind of the event, the venue may be changed from the flagpole to that little grassy area behind the high school near the gymnasium.

Amazon has successfully cracked the Chinese market with an app that helps government leaders keep track of forced labor camps via smartphones. "If the way into a man's heart is through his stomach, then the way into China is through their human rights abuses," officials said. "Can you say goldmine?" «» Researchers at Johns Hopkins University say they have isolated the hormone Honkytonkin, found predominantly in white males from Southern states. The protein is one of a new group of complex redneck carbohydrates similar genetically to white trash peptides and has the same molecular structure as cheap beer. «» Google has released an update to its new Google AfterLife® service which allows users to automatically delete their porn search history after they die. The new feature covers those instances when a user might die after watching porn but before clearing their browser history in order to prevent post-death embarrassment. «» In the wake of stellar ratings for this year's NHL playoffs, Commissioner Gary Bettman has announced plans to kick off next season with another lockout. "We clearly created some sort of artificial demand last time," said Bettman. "So let's do it again. But next year, I'm thinking Finals in July!" «» Kanye West has canceled the release of his new album and pulled all existing copies in the wake of the birth of his daughter. "Oh my God, have you heard those lyrics I wrote?" he said. "I'm a dad now. I can't be all rapping about breasts 'n shit anymore." «» President Obama has announced that Hispanics will be the next ethnic group unfairly targeted with racial profiling by federal law enforcement agencies. "We've done a pretty good number on Muslims over the past decade," Obama said. "I think it's time America took on a new challenge and broadened our horizons." «» With the recent flight of its fifth manned space mission, China is poised to become the first nation to successfully launch a fully operational orbiting forced labor camp. Astronauts on board the country's space station module will spend two years testing the effects of weightlessness on human rights abuses. «» New data released from the leaked NSA telephone surveillance tapes reveals that Americans are ordering out for pizza at an alarming rate yet not calling their mothers nearly as much as they should. However, hour-long conversations with fathers explaining how to open a Word document remain at an all-time high. «» A new study finds that teenagers who regularly use a baby pacifier are 95% less likely to become bullies than those who don't. The positive results come on the heels of Michelle Obama's new Binkies For Bullies program that aims to reduce incidents of bullying by turning perpetrators into targets. «» The Pentagon is accusing Chinese cyberspies of hacking the Twitter accounts of thousands of teenage girls after a flurry of mean, vindictive tweets surfaced. "We knew no one would ever purposefully post such awful things about their own friends," said one official. "So we figured it had to be China." «»
