How many times do you need to be told this is not a news article? It's Lajawab's way of showing us that celebrating Basant will lead to whores taking over the world.
I've edited his original article to make it clearer that this piece is not a news article for those of you have difficulty in grasping satire.

well said:D and also I think people took it personally too ;-)

Why would anyone take it personally AQ? Maybe they were just a bit disgusted at mullahs salivating at the prospect of rundi melas?
HAHA! 
lol Xtreme…At least the guys who were believing the satire to be true were meant to think that the satire was true…It wasn’t their fault, it was meant to be read as a news story and it wasn’t their stupidity or anything…But you are way beyond that distinction…
Thanks to you and your practical nature the satire is lost…Good job…:k:
Satire is fine by me but it's only satire if people are capable of grasping that. When you get repeated comments like

i think its an indication of degrading morals when a news article is posted about a serious subject, like Randi Mela....
This Randi Mela thing for instance.. anyone got links yet?

So in the absence of any attempt by yourself to clear the confusion I did it myself rather than pull the whole thread for attempting to mislead the public which I'm sure you appreciated.
In the absence of you failing to grasp the concept of a satire and failing to grasp the sarcasm in Ravage’s last post who knew from the start that it was a satire, I think you did right thing according to your own understanding and concepts…
Again, may I congratulate on a moderator’s job well done…:clapclap:…
P.S. You can edit this post too as this too is a satire so that people don;t get the wrong idea…
Lajawab when people start describing your piece as "a news article....posted about a serious subject, like Randi Mela"
then it's fair enough to make a clarification. if you want to discuss it as a serious article then why complain about the satire being lost?

That is the purpose of satires...They seem real but in reality are not, but convey a message of some sort...And even if people did think that it was real, isn't that the idea behind a satire?

It's not fair to make a clarification, especially by you...It was written specifically to look like the real thing, like an illusion if you will...And even if people were thinking it to be real, isn't that what fictional writing is all about?
And why are you so miffed and angry that you put a disclaimer in my post because others were finding it real? At least the people were just finding it real...You actually went ahead and made it real...:D

I am not miffed and angry at all just clarifying for people who MIGHT be confused. Why are you miffed and angry about it?
Cause you ruined my satire…
But I forgive you, for I know you…If you understood what a joke is you wouldn’t have done it…
I must admit that it was very well written.
Lajwab: once in a blue moon you show your literary skill very well :biggthumb
It was hilarious to see Mr. Xtreem all furious
Code_Red it’s even more hilarious to see you coyly joining hands with the ban Basant brigade after posting your own celebration pics

you really are unfamiliar with the notion of satire Mr Xtreme.
Lajo is a genius in comparison to you.

Faisal's latest Reply:
The thread was started as a satire on a serious subject. **Whats disturbing is that so many people were not able to figure it out. **It either means that the first post was written too well, or that there are more idiots in this world than we give credit for. The second possibility seems more plausible. Its disturbing really. It almost seems as if our collective IQ is getting lower, with every passing day.
[/QUOTE]
Now who's IQ is getting lower?
dun worry yaar, he was personally disgusted cuz it was very disgusting :-p
No ravage my friend what you fail to understand is that my remarks were also made in the spirit of satire just like Lajjo's and yours were it's just that you didn't quite get the depth of it. Ok looks like we are now all talking from the same page then...great.
Its just lajjo's fantasies playing tricks with him. For a guy infinitely obsessed with women, this piece of writing is just what is expected of him.

Sure its not yours? I figured it out to be a satire the moment I read it... and just asked Lajawab if he wrote it himself or copied it from some other online publication.

exit strategy?
anyhow. i'll take your word for it. :)
Just to clarify, some people did think there was an actual Rundi Mela (maybe not yourself) due to the EP addition and I think if you look at some of replies you can see that. Obviously if I didn't see it was satire I wouldn't have waited for 130+ posts to put in a disclaimer.
Anyway I looked on the whole thing in it's context which was linked to the Basant business. You can see my take on it in my first post.
^as I analyzed it, it was a Freudian dream of Lajo's that came out in this 'hidden' form
