Hi all -- just saw this link on Fark: The story last week about the 'Shrek'-fixated lonely guy who took his donkey, a latex bodysuit, and handcuffs to a hotel room for some quality time? It was a fake story -- it originally ran in their satirical Galway Worst section, though it didn't run online as such, and many news outlets went with it as a "strange but true" story.
All the attention brought down their Web site -- they had to put up a temporary page directing people to the donkey story.
I blogged about it, of course -- it was too good of a story to pass up. Though I will point out that I noted my reservations about the story.
Anyway, I just wanted to share the truth, no matter how much it hurts .
Also, I assume this means that there is no "Unlawful Accomodation of Donkeys Act" -- but there should be. Won't anyone please think of the children!
Thanks -- Joe

A sick joke, inspired no doubt, by Clerks II.

I'm actually relieved to hear it was fake. I was feeling sorry for the guy. It was weird as all heck, but, someone that desperate for attention...... okay, glad the ick factor was all a hoax. And, you let us know that when you knew.
That means that someone had to make up the "apparently the donkey had swallowed the key" line, which is pretty disturbing in itself.

Hmm, as an Irish lawyer, the Unlawful Accommodation of Donkeys Act 1837 set off a little "hmm" sign in my head ... that, and if you've ever tried, you'll know just how difficult it is to get a donkey into a hotel lift!
lol... it was a cool story!
be well,
