Obama Declares NCAA Football Forum a Federal Disaster Area

The Onion: OS
Earlier this morning, President Barack Obama officially declared the NCAA Football section of the Operation Sports forums a federal disaster area, clearing the way for significant aid for the much-maligned message board.
"I pledge to help the OS NCAA community in any way possible during its time of great need," President Obama said.
The boards have been hit by a salvo of crushing blows recently, as waves of bad news have left the community in shambles.
It began with the revelation that the rosters that will ship with the game are likely completely inaccurate, as some teams may not have any freshman.
The community was hit hard again when gameplay videos revealed NCAA Football 10 would essentially play the same problem-plagued way it has since 2007.
The early rebuilding efforts were setback when the news came that Teambuilder slots will only be provided to players who bought the game new, leaving gamers who rent the game or buy it used out in the cold.
The most recent – and most significant – blow came when it was learned that one of the "New Features" of the game was the ability to purchase dynasty boosts with real money, destroying all sense of hope that the community may have had left about the direction the development team was taking.
"We've lost everything," OS member Moostache said. "Our whole community lays in waste."
Obama is scheduled to tour the devastation by helicopter on Monday.

It is a good summarization of the bullshit that we have encountered the past few weeks.
