My Attempt at Journalism - Fake News!
#Article1Kingfisher decides to get its jobless air hostesses marriedIrate by repeated calls to his office over non-payment of dues to the flight attendants, a senior management official of the King Fisher group has created an online portal to get all the girls married.‘Under the program, all suitable suitors shall be required to pay the unpaid-wages of the girl they are marrying as indirect-dowry’, the terms-and-conditions on the website state.The website called inse-karlo-shaadi.com classifies the air hostesses in three categories- first class (for the rich and elite), business class (for the people pretending to be rich) and economy class (for the middle class).‘We have tried and tested the air hostesses with vague flying hours and at random altitudes’, the website continues to say, ‘so most of them have no problem staying active late at night.’The above statement has caught the eye of many IIT-ians and it has been reported by a computer engineering faculty member that most of the students have an extra tab open on their practical-lab browsers linking to the site. He said he was quite relieved that the extra tabs weren’t linking to what he had thought of earlier.‘The service is terribly disappointing. I married a first class girl and now the site, through its tiny-print terms-and-conditions, is forcing me to marry an economy class girl, too! It says first class girls are too lazy to do stuff on their own’, a customer complained. ‘Where am I going to get dowry for another marriage?’ he rued.The idea, however, didn’t go too well with the air hostesses. A senior air hostess, not very appreciative of marriage, fumed, ‘earlier we used to offer drinks for fun; now we’ll give men a reason to drink!’ A King Fisher official felt very happy to know this, and said that forcing men to drink may actually stabilise his company.

A cop popped out from his hiding place behind an old tree and rushed towards the biker. The cop scanned the area, and accepted a bribe of Rs. 100. As soon as he did that, a guy popped out of another tree and rushed to the scene. He claimed to have clicked pictures of the cop accepting the bribe, and threatened the cop that he’d have to shell out Rs. 500 if he did not want the photos to be published. No big deal this far, but what happened next astounded everyone. Members of the recently formed Anti-Corruption Party of India showed up the scene, and demanded Rs. 1000 from all the people involved if they did not want to be arrested. The cop refused to pay further, following which the police were called and they decided to arrest everyone present in the matter except the cop considering it was too boring to investigate.The issue of corruption has been strenuous for long, and not much action has been taken since the Chairman of The Anti-Corruption Committee was arrested for bribing court officials to register his organization first, before registering the Bharat Corruption Forum.A cop on the condition of anonymity has said, ‘we incur a lot of losses due to corrupt people. Many of these people come from good families and demand higher bribes. We end up losing about Rs. 500 each time we are photographed while we get only Rs. 100 from traffic violators.’
