Duffel Blog readers confused, angered by non-humorous article

Filed · 1546

THE INTERNET - A group of Duffel Blog readers voiced their confusion and anger today over the Duffel Blog's latest article, "My Dick Is So Big And My CO's A Fag."

The article, written by new contributor "Awesomus Maxiumus 69", appeared on the Duffel Blog's Facebook page around 0900 this morning, and within two hours had generated over 314 angry responses.

"OK, I know you guys can't bat .1000, but seriously, don't just publish everything you find," complained reader Rich Adams.

"When the article said how the CO held a formation to inform his troops that he was 'a cock-gobbling ass pirate' I wasn't laughing. I was cringing. A real CO would never do that. A real CO would delegate that kind of announcement to his Executive Officer. It's little mistakes like that which just ruin the piece."
