What the h*** is this???
Is this website a joke type thing like The Onion, a product of the Alabama Public schools or what??? Grammar Nazi you might not want to look as I think it may cause you to have a fatal seizure due to all the spelling mistakes & such

Alabama Sentinal

It would appear to be slightly racist translations of real news articles.

It's obviously a satire website.



I hope.

Garbage. Interestingly, it lists Spring Creek, Nevada (the idiot spells it "Spryng Craak, NV) as its place of origin. Spring Creek is a community up in the remote northeastern part of Nevada (actually everywhere is pretty remote once you get outside of Vegas or Reno). I imagine you would find a few of society's fringe element types living out there. This thing (I won't call it a news site or paper) certainly seems to suggest as much.

...um... it says Pleasant Grove on mine, although quite grammatically incorrect... appears to be dialing in the 'locale' of whomever pulls the site up... strange, indeed...

That this is not obviously satire and a joke to everyone is kind of depressing

RE: What the h*** is this???
Look up UAB articles on gizoogle.net and you will get the same effect. I hope the Alabama Sentinal is auto-generated. If someone is sitting there typing that stuff out, s/he is wasting a lot of time and energy.

EDIT: gizoogle.net results may not adhere to the PG rating criterion of this board.
