(Seattle): Huge financial penalties were looming today after various social networking sites sued and counter-sued each other over the poaching of their hottest talent.

The crisis began when highly viewed MySpacer VapidHotChick received an email invite from opposition site Bebo.

Her post on it in her MySpace blog prompted the company to file a lawsuit against Bebo through Social Networking lawyers Bloggit, Stumble 'n' Digg.

"It's a clear case of tapping up," said Eustace F. Bloggit, partner at the firm.

"VapidHotChick is a serial inviter who insists on anyone she meets joining MySpace where they can look at her 'artistic' profile photo.

"This attempt by Bebo is nothing short of a malicious theft of revenue from my esteemed customer."

Bebo have counter sued MySpace over what they say is an equal charge of tapping up after a 'concerted push' by MySpace to attract virginal computer nerds, a Bebo staple, with their users' scantily clad images.

This has caused a stunning tit-for-tat fight between the various networking sites and a sudden cease-fire of all mass-marketing spam from all sites pending a legal review.

Potentially one of the most stunning moves was the potential move of BCUK founder member Juzzzy to Blogspot, a move that only fell through when neither side could agree on who was supposed to pay who.

(Cambridge): There were waves of shock running through the magical otherworlds today when writs were served against one of it's most popular charitable philanthropists.

According to official court records Mr E. Bunny of 12, the Burrows, Fairy Forest has been named Defendant in a class action lawsuit featuring approximately 9 million cases of supplying an addictive substance knowingly.

Mr Bunny has been distributing rich chocolate snacks around the world for many decades now but is now becoming the rather big butt of the obese's problems.

"He knew he'd get me hooked," said Mrs Zelda Fremington of Chicago, Illinois.

"Once I had one... I knew there was no chance of me ever giving up."

His goods, known on the street as 'brown', 'yummy' and 'nom nom', have gone so far around the world to be recogniseable to most of the civilised population.

"It's all his fault I'm like this," said Fremington, a mother of one who's trailer is the largest in the park of 4,000.

"Some day's I eat so much of his gear I can barely finish an entire Bargain Bucket from KFC..."

Mr Bunny has so far been unavailable for comment but the prosecuting lawyers, Robbem, Filchem and Nabbit, have released the following statement.

"This is just the first case where a so-called "imaginary" character will be brought to task for problems they themselves recklessly create."

One more class action suit is currently being prepared by Robbem, Filchem and Nabbit.

Reportedly it is against a Mr Patrick Saint, prosecuting against various regretted sexual encounters due to the partaking of Guinness as promoted by his Holy self in March.

(Washington): The UN today were forced into an emergency seating after George Bush announced the United States of America had invaded yet another facist dictatorship in hope of freeing it's downtrodden masses, Iowa.

The attack, codenamed Operation Buckwheat, began with a sudden surge of armed forces from across America and many of it's Allies.

In a worrying development there were reports that many US soldiers were already placed in the largely farming country known in American as Iowa, also known in the native tongue as Iowa.

After a drive that moved forces deep into the heart the invasion stalled for a short time when all enemies appeared to be under deep cover, meaning a complete lack of resistance and a disturbingly easy entrance.

The seemingly peaceful invasion however took a turn for the worse when, in the middle of an advance into capital Des Moines, Corporal Hank Callaghan was given a rather nasty slap by Iowan resident Edith Prickleton after he trampled the hydrangeas in her front garden.

From that point the invasion was stepped up from Condition Taupe to Condition A-Sort-Of-Greenish-Blue and Martial Law declared.

"I can't wait to visit a free Iowa," exclaimed President Bush in a national address.

"I feel we've struck a... a... a strike against the enemy in the War on Terror."

However a short press conference was called by deposed Iowa Governer Chet Culver.

"With full respect to the Commander in Chief I make the following statement... You don't have to invade everywhere with a four letter name beginning with an I you inbred hick.

"Thank you for coming."
