I think the title of "Proudly Disseminating Sensationalised Rubbish for over a Century" gives part of the game away

...but my long suffering wife would probably agree with the "article"

LBA does eventually stabilise. Generally when you've bought all the lenses that fit into the desirable/affordable equation!

Although you will of course then spot something that you thought was so rare you'd never be able to afford one for sensible money...

"The Toad" appears to be an online version of "The Onion". The article is really quite a hoot, and as with all really good satire contains more than a grain of truth.

Good find Stefan!

I would argue that this

http://www.theonion.com/

is the online version of The Onion. Actually, I didn't know there was an Offline version!

I miss SatireWire.

I badly worded my comment, sorry. I meant it was like The Onion, not that is The Onion. The Onion is available in good old paper format in NY.

I would hope we Pentaxians would be out and about taking excellent photos while the others argued about the relative merits of the Super Speedo Gadgi-Wotsit v. the Ultra Nifty Thingamagig (both available at $10,000 from all good branches of Jessops)...
