Rotters, as its name suggests, is really a spoof of international newswire Reuters. While Reuters articles are 100% factual and have been proof-read, Rotters is better known for its twisting of news stories and also the conjuring of incredible tales.
The company was started by two bored writers in January 2006, and has since expanded to a formidable team of 100 Oompa-Loompas. The two founders Osiris and Da Vinci still run the company and continue to contribute articles, mainly because the Oompa-Loompas are still very noobish with computers.
2007 was a disappointing year for the company as less than 6 articles were published. Following the resignation of Stalin who was previously the chief editor, Rotters International has since undergone a major company revamp under the direction of President George W Bush. Osiris and Da Vinci will remain as Rotters presidents, but Tony Blair, who has found himself feeling very lonely after resigning as the Queen’s butler early this year, will be supervising the Oompa-Loompa workforce and ensure that the company keeps up to the standards it had set in 2006.
With a revised workforce, Rotters International looks forward to a more nonsensical 2008.
