FOTW Absolutely zero effort

You ought to be ashamed of yourself

Dixons' PC builder talks to the Reg.

It's normally the Vulture Central footsoldiers - the hacks - who are on the receiving end of flame abuse. Rarely does our beloved news editor, Rob 'The Pond' Blincoe, cop some. After all, he merely edits the poorly-researched and semi-illiterate drivel that we punt out.

It is with great pleasure, therefore, that we print the following, courtesy of Andy West:

Perhaps better titled 'Reg regurgitates Centerprise handout. No evidence of actual visit to factory in story.' Absolutely zero effort went into this article and as 'News Editor' you ought to be ashamed of that. Just so you know people notice.

Rob is on gardening leave for the rest of the day.
