With the rise of social media news outlet satire, there are some big players in the game. The Onion, that one with the red logo that everyone knows, Amazing Facts with EB, and of course, The Obiter.

These pages jostle and jockey for position like the horsies that go run run on the day that everyone doesn’t work for a while in the country. But like these horses, a true sign of victory is being asked to stop.

Some satirical outlets have received a few Cease-and-Desist letters from the big players in the game of life, proving at the very least a) these outlets have some impact and b) those big players have the same sense of fun as the big mean guy who wants to wreck UQ’s House of Fun, the Schonell, because he hates the arts and having fun and probably drinks beer with a curly straw.*

*If that guy takes offence, please please send us a C&D (we’d just fucking love one at this point).

It transpires that Obiter Editors are now really hankering for that joy of getting the knock on their electronic doors telling them to stop tugging on the heartstrings of the nation through the careful acupuncture of topically sensitive nerves.

As one Editor stated to anyone who would listen, ‘It’s the sign of ultimate respect! Imagine posting that up - the likes! The charisma! Oh shit is it really 10 minutes past 8, my first-year tourism exam just started!’

Inspiring stuff. So far all the Obiter has received are three letters from the Deputy President to be: U and UP?.Alright, ya sex pest.

Fingers crossed for more.
