The
moon is to be sued after it cheekily rose through Tower Bridge’s Olympic rings,
briefly forming a unique sixth ring on the London skyline, it has emerged.
A
rosy full moon made the audacious move on Friday evening, creating the last
gold medal of the day. Watched by millions of lycra fans revelling after yet another
day of sporting superlatives at Hackney Marshes, the event was captured by
thousands of mobile phone cameras and was uploaded to twitter within seconds. It became the most retweeted item on the
social networking site ever, breaking its own Personal Best for the most spectacular
moon rise in history, a record which had stood since 1066.
Whilst
the majority of commentators and spectators alike were awestruck by yet another
gold medal triumph, the games organiser Moron held an emergency meeting to
discuss the blatant breach of the Olympic logo copyright laws. One official blustered ‘this is an outrage!
Who does that damned Mr. Moon think he is, coming out of nowhere like
that! We cannot tolerate this kind of
piss-taking. Of course, it goes without
saying that the gold medal will be confiscated – we can’t have one rule for the
Olympic cafe down the road and another for the Lunar planet now, can we?’
The
moon last hit the headlines in May 2012 when it was briefly dubbed ‘supermoon’ in
what turned out to be an overblown piece of propaganda by lunatics.
