"Field Hockey Website Gaffe Damages Game's Reputation"
by Oscar McPhee

Web surfers are usually delighted by the wealth and quality of information found on fieldhockey.com. It is not overstating things to say that it is the first site that comes up on a google search for "field hockey news".

Yet visitors today were treated to a horse of a different color, and it wasn't a color that most of them liked. "Bizarre look to the site", today's top story, explained that the site uses Cascading Style Sheets (CSS), a thingy on which there are International standards on how to deal with it.

But Apparently, Bill Gates didn't get that memo in his CASTLE! "Microsoft don't believe they have to follow International Standards and just do their own thing," claims fieldhockey.com. The site appears normal to all browsers that are not "rubbish" like Microsoft.

"This should surprise no one," said renowned field hockey hooligan Mierto Jovanovich. "Leave it to the Imperialist Fatcats at Microsoft to put the muzzle of improper CSS reading on an underground upstart like international field hockey news."

Microsoft responded to requests for a statement with that video they made a couple years ago with Ricky Gervais and Steve Merchant. Fieldhockey.com shot back with amused chuckles and guffaws.

Laughter is always the best medicine.
