Michael Atkinson has taken Prime Ministership

[Zing]

Ahh good job.

 

[Insanum]

You lost me at "prime ministership".

Ive got a really bad feeling one of these threads will catch me out.

 

[ma55ter_fett]

you win this round of april fools.

 

[EmeraldGreen]

This isn't a very good April Fools from an Australian point of view since it wouldn't even make an actual Australian hesitate for a second. I'm looking for this year's round of game developer April Fools gags now actually.

really? I thought Aussie gamers hated this guy, and him becoming the top dog would be like someone stepping on your nuts while wearing stiletto heels...

I think what DkLnBr means is that no Australian would believe it for a moment. We haven't had a Federal election since 2007. And Michael Atkinson isn't even in Federal Parliament; he's a member of the South Australian State Parliament.

Oh god.


You're a tricky one.

 

[Doctor What]

OH wise future man, tell me more of this future speak you bring with you. Oh...wait...that's just Australian. Never mind. Oh. and I was worried for a second, my brain exploded.

(By the way Australia is one day ahead of the world due to the International Date Line)

Thanks for reminding me it's already April 1st in most of the world - I'd forgotten that.

My least favorite day of the year. Time to drop off the news sites for 24 hours and let the inane fake posts pass.

*Phew*

Had me worried for a second. Good job!

Yeah, Stephen Conroy would have worked though.

 

[Xpwn3ntial]

Very nice joke, very nice.

 

[Awexsome]

Damn first April Fools joke I've seen already almost got me.

 

[silver wolf009]

OH you jerk! you made my heart stop. Seriously, i needed defibulators... not cool man.

 

[Wardnath]

Saw it coming.

Also, since I've got you all breathing and blinking manually, aware of the Game, and the Offended article in your heads:

Michael Atkinson, former South Australian Attorney-General, has taken Prime Ministership in Australia. He won the national election last night by a landslide due to backing from most of the major political parties in Australia including; Labour, Greens, Family First, Liberal and National Party. Here is a list of his Cabinet, which includes the politicians' positions; Edward Teach (Treasurer), Dennis Ferguson (Childcare), Se7en and Mikl (Environment, Heritage and the Arts), Saddam Hussein (Tourism), Ronald MacDonald (Agriculture, Health and Trade) and Adolf Hitler (Defence, Immigration, Citizenship, Foreign Affairs and Education)

Without hesitation he executed operation Kill-Joy where by all games with M15+ ratings, or above, must be removed from all households and stores.

Fixed that for you.

I just pee'd myself you asshole.

 

[ThePostalGamer]

You actually had me going for a second there until I saw all of the dots leading to the link.

Damn you. XD

 

[Georgie_Leech]

You had me going until I actually read his "ministers."

 

[DarkRyter]

You sneaky bastard.

 

[Not G. Ivingname]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO-

Oh, it is a joke, haha. Nice one.

Pull it again and you will-
