WEEKLY WHINE

The latest on the elections that matter

As you know, humans are constantly voting on things. We vote on whether our nations should leave sui generis politicoeconomic unions with one another. We vote on who should receive – and subsequently decline – invitations to participate in exhibition sporting events. We vote on who should sing other people’s songs for albums that are released in December and forgotten the following December. We vote on whether flammable keyboards are worthy of a thumbs up or a thumbs down. We even vote on the outcomes of sporting events, even though we need only wait a few hours to find out the actual outcomes.

So what are people currently voting on? And how do the results matter to you? The GoobNet Satellite Programming Live Using Television network, as always, is perfectly positioned to answer these questions.

That perfect position, of course, is slightly to the left of your elbow. Go ahead. Take a look. See that little fly slightly to the left of your elbow? That’s not a fly. That is the GoobNet Satellite Programming Live Using Television network’s very own Mobile Observation Station that Quietly Undermines International Treaty Organisations. It is collecting data at this very moment for transmission back to our global headquarters. That data will then be thoroughly analysed by our team of experts before it is transmitted back to you, live, via satellite, using television.

So please do not use your Fairly Long and Youthful Stick With Auxiliary Tracking Tool for Energy Release on our Mobile Observation Station that Quietly Undermines International Treaty Organisations. It may affect your ability to receive live programming via satellite using your television. It may also void our warranty.
