[kj] Sex Pistols singer faces race attack claims

[The Exorcist]

Aye! You'll rip the super market National Enquirer from my cold dead hands!

(Elvis is alive! He is organizing a fleet of UFO's to take over the 
earth and do experiments on
Angelina Jolies babies while studying Kaballah with Madonna!)

Competition is a barbaric, insensitive ritual that reeks of social Darwinism.
We cannot allow the fittest to survive on our pages. Your loss is someone
else's gain, and your gain is someone else's loss. Therefore, losers contribute
to the society and winners take away from it. Being a winner is 
unethical, while
a society of losers is happy and striving as a collective. In the 
spirit of diversity,
inclusiveness, and collectivism our contests shall have no winners.
Everyone is declared a loser, which in our book means an ethical team player.
