Melbourne or Mekong?

Oh dear. April Fools Day again. This story from the Herald-Sun in Melbourne is so funny – not for the story itself, but for the cleverly constructed group of comments.

Some I am sure are from real people – but plenty I am equally sure have been cleverly crafted to try and put doubt in people’s minds as to whether it’s a real April Fool’s joke or not.

This one takes the cake though:

what matter. we chinese better you you know. football is soccer. we soccer very good. we beat you any day, ha ha. anyway mcg only going ten year in fact. china going one million year. cricket, nobody ever heard. too bad. mekong best melbourne worsed. we name stadium now. name anything we like tomorrow. sweet and sour grapes you lose. go cry in stinking yara river. china strong. astralier weak like little girl. you see. we win. haha
