Was sad to hear that one of my favourite sites for the past couple of years has come to a close.

SatireWire has officialy closed for business according to creater and sole site-manager Andrew Marlatt.

In true satirewire style, he cites creative differences between him and himself as the reason. While many people will view this as a reword of 'burn-out', i'm sure Andrew will continue to inform us of the goings on in the Marlatt universe at (ir)regular intervals peppered with the great comedy that brings his website the kudos it so richly deserves.

Below i've included a few links to my favourite SW 'stories' which have brought me a little comedy during those dark, lonely nights ;)

Good luck with your future endeavours Andrew, and Haste Ye Back!
