This morning 15 diaries about Iranians rounding up 15 UK soldiers at gun point were rounded up at gun point.
soK, a blogistan spokespersona, was quoted saying "This could be the start of the war we've been waiting for."
The diaries, which apparently were unaware of each other, initially appeared to be congregating suspiciously on the New Diary list. A plot to take over the Recommended Diaries list was suspected, but so far no evidence has been found to suggest that this was ever likely.
It's not yet clear if the diaries will be released. Crisis talks have failed to reach international agreement about their precise legal and diplomatic status.
A White House spokespersona (no relation) said no options would be taken off the table. He added "We want the American people to know how proud we are that we have a table big enough to hold all of these options without any of them rolling off and - you know - getting lost on the floor, or something."
Prices of bandwidth, snark bombs, ironic t-shirts, and sig lines immediately drifted upwards in heavy trading. Meta futures also showed violent price fluctuations, with evidence of profit taking by pundits, front pagers, and newbies failing to dampen enthusiasm for meta contracts, which closed 113 points higher on the day.
The incident seems to be the mirror image of a similar clash from 2004. Boundary lines between Left Blogistan and Wingnutania remain hotly disputed and diplomatic relations continue to be a powder keg that requires a spark to launch the starting pistol of an apocalyptic catastrophe.
Elsewhere some other stuff happened. But it wasn't very interesting, so hardly anyone took any notice.
