Canadian Song Writer Terry Jacks Dies

VANCOUVER, BRITSH COLUMBIA (AIP) – In a spontaneous uprising unheard of in this normally peaceful city, citizens of Vancouver stormed the home of singer/song writer Terry Jacks, composer of the hit song Seasons in the Sun and tore him limb from limb using only their bare hands.

“It was stunning,” said Vancouver Mayor Jim Leavitt. “I’ve had reports from police that even young children were gouging at his eyeballs. There is some evidence that up to 2000 people were involved in this act of violence. ”

According to witnesses the crowd, which formed in the early morning hours, appeared to have had no real leader. Witnesses say that those involved seemed to be driven by the desire to destroy the writer of what may be the most depressing and maudlin song in the English language.

“I fucking hated that fucking song,” said one unnamed participant in the brutal killing. “We all did. We broke down his door and grabbed him out of his easy chair and literally ripped him apart. Some women were actually drinking his blood. I only wish we could kill him again.”

Seasons in the Sun, inspired by a French song and reworked by Jacks to commemorate a friend of his who was dying of leukemia was released in 1973 and went on to sell more than 10 million copies worldwide. The lyrics were written by poet Rod McKuen.

“Police officers were called when it became apparent that the crowd wouldn’t be content with just verbally castigating Jacks,” said Vancouver Police Chief Jacques Bell. “When we realized what they planned to do to the poor bastard we turned our phones and radios off and headed to the donut shop on the other side of town. Some of my men arrived at the scene roughly six hours later. There was nothing we could have done.”

Jacks limbless torso was hung from a light post in central Vancouver but witnesses say the head, with the tongue ripped out, was burned and the ashes scattered.

“I had almost been able to forget that damn song,” said one 53-year old participant in the killing. “But then that faggot boy band Westlife covered the song in 1999 and that brought it all back. Westlife better watch their asses.”

The Vancouver Medical examiner has record the cause of death as “accidental” and police chief Bell said he expects to make no arrests in the case.

Samsung Sued In Federal Court

SEATTLE (AIP) – Lawyers for plaintiff Carl Kaiser today made oral arguments in the Western District of Washington Federal Court claiming that cell phone manufacturer Samsung was negligent by including an ‘off’ button in the design of their Galaxy s5 phone, cause irreparable damage to Kaiser.

“Samsung knew or should have known that my client would always want to be just seven digits away from being called, texted, tweeted, Facebooked, Kik’ed or LinkedIn,” said lead attorney Mark Stories. “By engineering in the ability for a user to actually turn the phone off they’ve created a device with an ‘attractive nuisance’ that damaged Mr. Kaiser.”

According to court pleadings, Kaiser became distraught following the death of his father. In a time of depression he posted to Facebook that he was ‘turning off my phone for a while because I just want to be alone’. Alarmed friends contacted local police who eventually made a well being check on Kaiser and persuaded him to turn his phone back on.

“During the three hours that his phone off my client missed 158 attempted texts, tweets and Facebook posts,” said Stories. “Imagine the damage that has inflicted on him. When he finally saw the photo of the yummy lasagna that his friend Mitzi had served for dinner it was way too late to add a ‘like’”.

According to legal scholars, Court have generally held that most individuals are fairly stupid and therefore manufacturers have a legal duty to make sure the products they sell disallow users to make any choices which aren’t for their own good, even if at the time the choice seems best to the individual.

“That’s why that top step on the ladder has a ‘this is not a step’ sticker on it,” said Story. "Let's face it, what balanced person wouldn't want to be contactable 24/7?"

Lawyers for Samsung, citing ongoing litigation, declined comment.

NAMBLA member Steven St. Croix said he was packing his car and heading to the border.

Adam's Relationship Ends

CAIRO, IL (AIP)- Nelson Adams, a 21-year old employee at the Kalob Avenue WAWA convenience store has officially broken up with Tiffany Waller citing "irreconcilable differences".

"Every time I act in a way she doesn't expect or understand she thinks something is 'going on' with me", said Adams, soon to receive his GED. "Tiff doesn't understand chaos theory or randomness. She thinks I'm fucking around on her when all I'm really doing is watching Iron Man 2 with my homeboys.

"I mean if I get a little depressed or down contemplating the human condition or or upset about events in the Middle East and become a tad distant Tiff thinks I'm screwing Brittany. "

Brittany confirmed that she and Nick were not, in fact, fucking.

"Nada," said Brittany.

"If I read something stunning like T.S Elliott's 'I should have been a pair of ragged claws, crawling across the floors of silent seas' and it kinda blows my mind then I might seem slightly distant," said Adams. "The Middle East is exploding and the Russians are in the Ukraine and Tiff thinks she's the fucking center of the universe and I'm cheating on her. Its stunning."

Waller, contacted by reporters, has her own view of Nelson's occasional emotional withdrawal.

"He's liar," Waller said."He isn't that deep. He's cheating and I can feel it. He's banging that slut Brittany."

Adams disagrees.

"If occasionally Tiff would just watch Housewives-of-some-fucking-suburb or work the crossword puzzle and let me deal with the bigger questions in life we'd get along so much better," said Adams. "I love Tiff but her attempts to shackle my mind disturb and offend me.

"How the hell am I supposed to advance String Theory or finish the aria for the central character in the opera I'm working on with Tiff constantly thinking I'm just banging Brittany?"

Pope Declares War

THE VATICAN (AIP) – Pope Francis, speaking to a record crowd assembled in St. Peter’s Square, today declared a holy crusade against Muslims everywhere, vowing to “destroy every one of those fucking rag heads we can locate”.

“For too long we have been a religion of peace,” said Francis, wearing a special camouflage vestment with a .44 Glock in a shoulder holster. “I, for one, am about damn tired of the car bombs, the child kidnappings, the crucifixions, planes ramming buildings, whining Palestinians and the fact that one can’t get a good scotch and soda anywhere east of Greece.”

Papal Nuncio to the United Nations Cardinal Karl Josef Vecchio, in a speech to the United Nations Security Council just hours after the Pope’s Vatican announcement detailed the Holy See’s offensive plans for a Middle Eastern offensive.

“The Holy Father has decided to put some red Prada’s on the ground near Tikrit,” said Vecchio. “The Holy Catholic Church has plans to deploy 17 divisions, including 3 heavy amour divisions, to that region to finally put the arm on these ISIS shits.

“As the Pope has stated, we plan to put our collective Allie Ackbars up their asses.”

Thomas T. Manson, spokesman for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, speaking from Salt Lake City, UT, vowed his support.

“The Catholic Church and us Latter-day Saints might disagree on dogma and ritual, but we’re both pretty sure God is a white guy who probably likes to see women in shorts and tight shirts,” said Manson. “We’ve committed 22 divisions of our boys in white shirts and ties, including 14 bicycle divisions, to this fight. We’re going to Richard the Lionheart those fucks.”

Pearlman Passes, An Era Ends

NEW YORK (AIP) – Robert Pearlman, 87, the last man to use the word “groovy” in a cogent sentence passed away Thursday at his home on Long Island.

“He will be missed,” said Marty Kowalski, lead lexicographer for the Merriam-Webster Dictionay company. “With his passing our company will move the word ‘groovy’ into archaic status and remove it from all but our most compreshensive dictonary. We had only kept it in this long knowing that Pearlman was still alive and might inadvertantly use the word once more.”

Legend has it that sometime in the spring of 1979 Pearlman was asked how his day was going by the waiter at Max’s Deli on the east side where he stopped to get coffee on his way to work.

“I’m feeling groovy,” Pearlman famously responded.

Officials with the United Nations Office of Phraseology have certified that “Groovy” has not be used in spoken language on any of the seven continents since that day.

“Groovy” was a popular slang colloquialism for “feeling good” during the 1960, but has fallen into disuse and become discredited as a valid expression of happiness.

Adult Film Industry In Peril

CHATSWORTH, CA (AIP) – In a move that is sending shivers of terror down the spines of pornographic film production companies and actors, Martin Littleman of Valdosta, GA, has announced that he intends to cancel his subscriptions to the roughly 289 internet porn sites he has paid memberships to because he has “finally met a girl that doesn’t think sex is ‘icky’”.

“I met Candice and we hit it off really well,” said Littleman. “She’s a great girl. We have sex three or four times a week now and then actually talk afterward. Since I met her the hand towels in the bathroom are no longer stiff.”

Porn industry investor Marvin Banisoffsky said the Littleman move could be devastating to the adult film industry.

“This guy has been our bread and butter,” said Banisoffsky, speaking from his production facility in Chatsworth. “His exit from the scene could cause many companies to simply shut down because they can’t pay the bills. A lot of the talent is going to be looking for work outside the industry.”

Littleman said that string of adult actors have come to visit him since he decided to stop singlehandedly supporting the business.

“Candy Cummings, Betty Boobs, Little Oral Annie. They’ve all stopped by my apartment,” said Littleman. “It’s hard to tell them goodbye but since I’ve had actual, physical contact with a real live woman who enjoys me sexually and emotionally I really don’t need them anymore.”

Adult actor Little Oral Annie is afraid for the future.

“I can't believe he's leaving like this," said Annie. "He's been squeezing off knuckle children and watching me perform demeaning and souless acts with complete strangers for years. I thought I was important to Martin.

"I guess I could try straight acting, but my voice is squeaky and my ability to actually project emotion is about nil. I’ve got to find some kind of work. I’m still paying for these damn boobs.”

In a related move that is causing energy drink industry executives to lose sleep, Littleman is also rumored to be contemplating cutting back on his consumption of Red Bull and Rockstar.

“I’m tired of shaking all the time,” said Littleman.
