"How does she get in that wee box?" : Virtual Newsreader flummoxes MSPs
The cream of the nation’s political talent were bambed and indeed boozled this week following the launch of the Scottish Executive’s new virtual newsreader, cyber-strumpet Seonaid.

The new service, streaming from the SE website, will feature the electronic animatronic reporting news from the Scottish Parliament and conducting interviews with government ministers.

But already the innovation is causing consternation among our political leaders. A sposessql for the software developers told the JT: "The average MSP makes a cheese plant look intelligent. Let’s face it, electric light is a mystery beyond knowing for most of them. You can just imagine what they make of cutting edge technology."

Already, male MSPs have been hunting the corridors of power, looking for the TV studio

featured on the website, and at the official launch of the service, several attending MSPs made tits of themselves by running to the back of the presentation plasma screen and shouting "Ah Ha! Got Ye!" before falling back, disappointment etched deep in their faces and their visibly aroused trousers the subject of cruel jibes.

First Minister Jack McConnell expressed chagrin at the line taken by the JT in search of a cheap gag.

"To suggest that the nation’s decision makers are not au fait with the latest digital developments is patently untrue." he said before settling down in front of his PC, with a bottle of champagne and two glasses.

"She’ll have to come out sometime" he insisted lasciviously.

Inside: And what does the oh so clever JT editor use to run his PC then? Windows 1898 of course.
