Fisking can sometimes make you look a little childish

February 12th, 2009 by Ian

So I’m a total dick on the internet. All my pals know it. I engage in fisking sometimes, arguably one of the most dickish activities one can take part in. Even so I can never reach the dizzy hights of dickishness of Tory blogger Donal Blaney. He may quite possibly a very clever parody (much like a British Stephen Colbert). I don’t know. Claire Hazelgrove is politically a nobody. She’s only 20 and who has heard of her? Why would anyone go out to shoot her down? But on Blaneys blog he decides to rip into her posting a little bit of internet fluff. You know that ‘tell us 25 things few people know about you’ thing that’s going round facebook / twitter? Well Blaney fisks the hell out of her answers. The result is embarrassing. I remember when my little sister talked like he does. She grew out of it when she was about 14. When Ms. Hazelgrove says;

I’m utterly useless before 10am, although I do quite often have to get up before then.

Blaney wittily retorts;

Judging by your contribution to political life thus far, you’re not much better after 10am either, you idle sheet-presser.

Meow! Is this guy for real? The rest of the thread is pure gold in my opinion. Including a perhaps slightly unfair comparison to Hitler and I think every comment should be prefixed with a *cat noise* What a pissy little bitch he is! He’s got to be a nu-labour plant. Check out the rest of the blog for more chortles, including some really weak attacks on Obama. Didn’t Donal get Dave’s memo? We’re supposed to all love Obama now!
