"Rare" Angry Since 1967 articles "Saved for The Nation"

Following a long campaign, rare Angry Since 1967 articles have been saved for the nation. This follows fears the collection, containing drafts and unpublished blog posts, would pass into foreign ownership. The campaign, which raised several pence, announced it had secured the documents for posterity. Speaking to the press, AS1967 said "this is fantastic news. Foreign ownership could have meant these posts never seeing the light of day. Now, while they will still never see the light of day, at least the light of day they won't be seeing is in the UK"

On the news "We Have Explosive" by 90s Ambient giants "Future Sound of London", re-entered the singles chart at number 195.

AS1967 to be delivered by Drone


AS1967 announced to a shocked media, that it will be the World's first blog delivered by Drone. Speaking at the annual AS1967 Conference, Angry Since 1967 claimed "we've always been at the forefront of bandwagons. We tweeted, twerked, prinked, happy-slapped, memed, viralled, kickstarted, crowd sourced, flash-mobbed, You-Tubed, Liked and even Woollarded, before any of our competitors even knew what these were. Now, as the globe stands poised on the cusp of next media circle fuck, we at Angry Since 1967 make the paradigm shift real. This blog will be the first delivered by Drone. "Droning" will redefine the social media ecosystem and render everything else obsolete."

Following the announcement speculation mounted as to how this would be actually delivered or what the precise mechanics of this would entail. Would, for example Drone's despatch copies of the blog directly to subscribers? If so, how would that work exactly? Will they need a licence to fly these Drones? Does the CAA need to be informed? And what happens if there is a catastrophic failure? Wouldn't they need to have a single person allocated to fly each Drone? Will they be controlled from line of sight or remotely? And if remotely, again how would that work? Will they be flown from central control room? Will the deliveries be any quicker? Won't the Drone only be able to deliver one thing at a time before it has to fly back to base - where ever that base may be located? Are they allowed to fly these Drone's during the hours of darkness? Isn't likely to be more expensive to build an entirely new and (frankly) unnecessary infrastructure to support this mechanism when a very efficient delivery system already exists? Won't the public end up paying more for delivery? Why not just use the Post Office?  And a whole host of other questions which no-one has bothered asking, let alone answering. Dismissing these queries as "old media, obstructionist thinking" AS1967 said "trust me, it will just work"

Controversial TV Show FAILS to Trigger Social Media STORM!

Broadcasters are reeling today after last night's deeply controversial TV programme didn't generate a single indignant tweet, complaining email or the much anticipated social media furore. The show which claimed CENSORED had REDACTED over the past year. It also featured REMOVED FOR LEGAL REASONS showing WITHHELD and SUBJECT OF A SUPER INJUNCTION engaged in EXPUNGED. The photograph's accompanying the documentary were indescribably graphic, featuring scenes of vile depravity. 

The programme makers claimed "we'd gone out of our way to be offensive. Tastelessly so. And what do we get? Nothing. Not a single, solitary, frigging word. Our hashtag #deliberatelyoffensiveanddesignedpurelytoprovokeanangryaresponse is the first, on record, to get minus retweets. The bastards"

Leading Social Media commentator Foe O'Utrage, who last week was quoted as an expert on something entirely unrelated, claimed "Something vaguely plausible, dropping in some "on trend" buzzwords which leave you ultimately none the wiser" 

On the news, not much changed.
