Getting Caught

HAVE YOU ever wondered what it looks like when cheating mother fuckers get caught cheating like mother fuckers?

No?

Ok then...

"PWC Blozone Gonzo 2M" versus "Air Turkey Blozone Gonzo 2M"

Pie in the Sky. Telling it like it is... because no-one else will.

Beans Are Beans

WE WOULD like to print a retraction and would like to apologise unreservedly to the hard-working, moral, diligent, trustworthy, incorruptible journalists at "Pie in the Sky PLC".

And one day we might.

It would seem those hard-working, moral, diligent, trustworthy, incorruptible hacks over at the Pie offices don't give a flying fuck about beans after all. Well played!


If we had a back page, this article would be on it.
It would be down near the bottom.
And it would be in really small print.
Just below an apology to Elton John.
And just above the news of our impending donation of 50K to a charity of Elton's choice.
It would be just to the left of an advert for a "barely used" Blozone Gonzo 2M.
But above a really glossy advert for the impending release of the new Gonzo 3.0.

Our front page, on the other hand, would have a huge banner headline saying "Handz off our vings, Fritz" with some photos of semi-naked women. That were semi-naked.


Good call !  [ although we'll believe it when we see it - Ed ]

Yours sincerely,
Chief Editor
[ We reserve the right to retract any retraction that may need retracting at any time and without prior notice - Ed ]

The Best Beans

IT IS with deep shame that we write to inform all subscribers that from this moment onwards the professional journalists here at "Pie in the Sky PLC" will be unable to fully report any story that negatively impacts our advertisers. "Heinz beans are great!"

For many years now the hacks here at Pie have only been able to afford our slack-arsed, jet-setting, fuck-off-round-the-world-when-we-feel-like-it life styles thanks to the glossy adverts on the inside front and back covers of our XC Rag. "Heinz beans are simply the best!"

It's thanks to these payments of 10 grand a page that we can afford to fly our lovely new "demo" gliders at the best sites world-wide, whenever the hell we want. "Heinz beans! Great beans!"

Of course, there are only a few manufacturers who can afford the really big shiny ads and, as you might expect, we must keep these chaps happy. If, for example, one of our great friends were to slip up and be caught lying their ass off in public, you can be sure we would be too busy reporting on something entirely different. Or nothing at all. "Heinz beans, great for the kids!"

Up to now, you may have accidentally come to the conclusion that we Pie journalists were here to write interesting free-flying articles and that we would cover all angles of our sport in depth. How wrong you were, you misguided fools. "Heinz beans are the best beans!"

We have only ever been in it for the money, the lifestyle and the free time we get between throwing together 750 words for page 23, re-wording the articles submitted to us by underpaid "staff writers" and reformatting the articles submitted by our friendly advertisers themselves. "Heinz beans. Only the best!"

Unfortunately, or so it would seem, our lack of commitment to you readers may now be too obvious to hide, so we thought we'd take this opportunity to write to each and every one of you individually to let you know why. "Heinz beans are the best-tasting beans!"

It's the cash. It always has been and it always will be.

The writing always came second. Couldn't you tell?

Yours sincerely,

Chief Editor
