In some light, non-news for the day, a beautician from Blackpool took something of a cyber beating after an attempt to comment on current affairs backfired in quite a beautiful way. [QUOTE][img]http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2014/03/07/article-2575436-1C195AC000000578-941_306x450.jpg[/img][img]http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2014/03/07/article-2575436-1C195B4C00000578-654_634x538.jpg[/img][/QUOTE] Naturally, the rest of the Internet was soon to pick up on the (admittedly ridiculous) mistake and of course - both [url=http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2014/03/07/article-2575436-1C1A1F5200000578-615_634x428.jpg]Barraco Barner[/url] and [url=http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2014/03/07/article-2575436-1C1A1F9800000578-309_634x419.jpg]Michello Barner[/url] had their new Twitter accounts rapidly set up for them. The mistake is now being reported around the world - along with many of the responses she has received - some more appropriate than others.

[quote]a beautician from Blackpool[/quote] That explains everything.
Was it a joke?
Actually took me way longer than it should have to understand what she said. My first thought was, [i]"who the fuck is Barraco Barner?"[/i]
[QUOTE=mdeceiver79;44158425]Was it a joke?[/QUOTE] Perhaps she could have saved it if she said so... [QUOTE]Gemma, who admits politics isn't her strong point, insists the tweet was a spelling error[/QUOTE] Barraco Barner aside, how do you misspell 'our President' :v:
Yeah, assuming she is trying to spell Barack Obama, I'm a lot more concerned with her not knowing that he's not the president of England. Let's just skim over the part where England has a PM and not a president.
Frankly, I'm more amazed that they have the internet in [I]Blackpool[/I].

Blackpool, the only place where you can catch AIDS from a fish & chips. It truly is the asshole of the north.
[QUOTE=Nightsure;44158984]Blackpool, the only place where you can catch AIDS from a fish & chips. It truly is the asshole of the north.[/QUOTE] More like the asshole of the world. They asked the soldiers stationed at the Do Lung Bridge if they'd rather be stationed at Blackpool and they said no.
I went on holiday to blackpool once, it was like spending a week in Beirut. Shitehole.
Go to Brighton instead.
[QUOTE=Scotty.;44159236]I went on holiday to blackpool once, it was like spending a week in Beirut. Shitehole.[/QUOTE] why would you go on holiday to blackpool
Beats Grimsby that's for sure.
Go to Margate if you want good beaches. that was the original sea-side town.
[QUOTE=Cone;44159603]why would you go on holiday to blackpool[/QUOTE] Come for the roller coasters stay because your tyres got slashed.
Too bad they didn't mistake David Cameronbot for the American President down in the USA. :v:
[QUOTE=_Maverick_;44159898]Go to Margate if you want good beaches. that was the original sea-side town.[/QUOTE] Yes Margate was one of Rough Guides top 10 world destinations. [url]http://www.roughguides.com/gallery/the-top-ten-places-to-visit-in-2013/#/1[/url] Fuck knows why.
let's be honest the majority of the UK's seaside towns are shit holes, blackpool and southport are the closest to me and fuck me they're awful
[QUOTE=Gustafa;44159279]Go to Brighton instead.[/QUOTE] As someone who lives unnervingly close to Brighton I can safely say I fucking hate it. But then again, I fucking hate London, so I'm probably just biased by small-town manners. People literally have sideways conical vision like horses in Brighton, I swear. They literally plough right through you without any regard for your personal space.

[QUOTE=Cone;44159603]why would you go on holiday to blackpool[/QUOTE] This reminds of the fact that a woman was denied a tourist visa to the UK because she made the mistake of telling immigration officials that she wanted to spend a week on holiday in Gateshead.

[QUOTE=Scotty.;44159236]I went on holiday to blackpool once, it was like spending a week in Beirut. Shitehole.[/QUOTE] Being both half Lebanese and half English from the north, I take double offense to this statement.
[QUOTE=agentalexandre;44162081]Being both half Lebanese and half English from the north, I take double offense to this statement.[/QUOTE] Yeah but is it an accurate statement? That is what we all want to know!
[QUOTE=Jsm;44162181]Yeah but is it an accurate statement? That is what we all want to know![/QUOTE] No, a week in Beirut would be better than a week in Blackpool.
Well we can all agree, Hull is pretty terrible.
