It's Party Time!

FNN  banner

Faux News Network Spokesman:  It is my great pleasure to announce that Faux News Network in association with Strange Worlds Online presents the official launch party for Hank Quense's new novel, Zaftan Miscreants: Book 2 of the Zaftan Trilogy.
Ms. Marcia Hammerhead will be the Mistress of Ceremonies for the party.  You can watch her ZaftanMiscreantFront2arecent interview with Mr. Quense on YouTube.
And now, here is Ms Hammerhead.
Ms. Hammerhead:  I don't know why I have to do this stuff.  I hate genre fiction. Especially Quense's fiction.  Unfortunately, I need the money, so here goes.
This launch party is a virtual scavenger hunt.  If you go to various websites and find the correct pages, you can accumulate prizes that aren't virtual, they're real stuff.  However, if you're looking for true literature, you're out of luck.  The prizes are all trashy genre stuff.
First off, go the website http://strangeworldsonline.com. This is the home page.  Your job is to find the Zaftan Miscreants main page.  On that page you'll see what you won.
Next, go to Facebook, find the Strange Worlds Online page and click on "like". (Why you would 'like' this escapes me.) This entitles you to win one, possibly two ebooks filled with genre garbage. If you're unlucky, you may even win an ebook copy of Tales From Gundalrland, more of Quense's  drivel.
Personally, I think you should skip this scavenger hunt, get a copy of Moby Dick or Shakespeare's plays and read some true literature.
But, what do I know?  By the way, don't bother to watch the interview.  It's terrible.

Faux News Network: Readers ask


FNN receives many emails from our readers asking us questions about the perplexing modern world.  Periodically from now on, we will print several of these questions so that other readers can offer answers or suggestions.

* Is it true that Steve Jobs' brain has been transplanted to a computer hard drive and he'll continue to design new products?

* Do you think Perry and Romney will settle the settle the Republican nomination with a gunfight in a small town? Will the NRA sponsor the duel?

* I saw an app on Facebook that offers to file my 1040 Tax form if I send them the info including my social security number.  Is this safe to use?

* Why don't the Wall Street demonstrators go out and get jobs instead of hanging out and bothering working people?
