Annual event Burning The Clocks is in turmoil as it has emerged their graphic work had been tampered with, reading a disturbing and inflammatory statement.

They ended up printing 10,000 flyers and many banners with the words ‘Bumming The Cocks’ which was picked up by international news organisations and caused pressure for the event to be banned completely.

The organisers had no idea and had failed to read it correctly before the printing process. The typo was only finally spotted after the banners had been placed in major areas such as Churchill square and a children’s nursery.

An outraged local spoke. “In honesty I love burning things but even though my love of fire usually supersedes my hatred of sexual intolerance in this case I have to make an exception”.

The event was due to go on as usual however in light of recent events main headliners The Prodigy have pulled out early. We caught up with Liam Howlett main producer of the super group.

“Ok, we’ve released a single called Smack My Bitch up but that was a social commentary on the way that females are perceived not just a cash-in club classic. Who ever thought that we would get involved in such childish antics has no clue. We were set to play a 3 hour set of Fire Starter on repeat. Your loss.”

Organisers are blaming a extra-employee who had an unreasonable vendetta. Their last task was to send the posters to print and had completely overlooked the fact that they intended to sabotage the whole situation.

A counter protest group has been set up called ‘It’s OK To Bum A Cock’ who will be armed with Supersokas and are predicted to amass in numbers to almost 10,000 footsoldiers to face off with the clock burners.

Whether you enjoy being soaked or burnt to beyond all recognition get yourself down to Burning The Clocks to witness a battle of biblical proportions.
