thank you kindly

Really liked the Gaga piece and the Evel Knieval headline.
As with all of these spoof news sites though, I worry about the amount of competition you're letting yourselves in for. No matter how well written, there's just so much of this stuff out there it's hard to tell one brand from another.
thank you..fair comment..better make sure we're good then...
That's the thing though, I don't think it's enough just to be good. There are lots of good spoof websites out there - the trouble is that the jokes are pretty much interchangeable from one to the next. For a site like this to stand out it really needs to forge it's own identity in the way The Onion has.
totally agree - that's the challenge!
Really liked it, very funny set of headlines and ideas. Hope to see it develop and do well. What are your plans for it?
thanks very much Chopz..we'll be doing daily updates (mon-fri) and hope to be bringing in more photoshopped stuff..have already had some sponsorship interest so that will help us expand the writing team and be more ambitious..please follow us on Twitter..if you want...@pokehq
Cheers!
Tragedy Horse.
Very good.
cheers Matthew!
I totally agree with Bussell - there's some good stuff on there but if I read one of your stories on it's own, I wouldn't be able to tell which of a dozen or so spoof websites it came from
You need something different from the crowd, not just the same stuff done slightly better. I'd make some suggestions but then I'd have nothing if I decided to do a spoof news site 
I do want to be clear that of all the spoof sites I've seen that have been volunteered on this site this is by far the best. You're obviously a talented writer. My concern is that you'll be drowned out by the hundred other sites that are doing exactly the same as you (only not as well).
awww thanks
