G8 Agrees to Debt Relief for Poor Nations
Kenneth Stapp of Wheeling, WV wants HIS debt forgiven, too.
LONDON - Finance ministers from the Group of Eight industrialized nations agreed Saturday to an historic deal canceling at least $40 billion worth of debt owed by the world's poorest nations.
"It's not like it is REAL money or anything. Just a pile of paper and promises. No one will even notice $40 billion from the world's coffers just vanishing forever into some dictator or drug lord's pocket," said Lord Farnsworthy, a representative from the United Kingdom.
Meanwhile, back in the USA, Kenneth Stapp of Wheeling, WV, was inspired by today's events. "I asked VISA to forgive my $3,800 credit card debt. The most they were willing to do was lower my interest rate one percent," he said.

"BloodyHell- I've pissed myself!" Emily Littleton-Thorne, 22, of Upper Wapping
after a night of celebrating the Queen's 79th Birthday.
BRITONS NATIONWIDE partied hardy in celebration of the Queen's 79th birthday. While London put on an extravaganza of epic proportions, other Brits chose a more laid-back approach.
"I fuckin' hate the fuckin' Royals. But since I am unemployed and don't have anything better to do, I went to the party at the Stag and Pigeon Pub. Not bad, could've had a few more appetizers, though," said Daniel Foote of Redcar.
"Can't believe the stiff old bird is still kicking, with her family problems and all. Wonder she hasn't had a heart attack by now, what with Charles and Camilla and young Harry smoking cannabis and such," commented Paul Stevenson, who hosted the Redcar soiree.
