I've always thought readers of Internet spanking forums to be the most gullible group on Earth but I've changed my mind.

When the first wave of missiles had demolished Saddam's house and that ridiculous 'looky-likey' person (10 years older, 40lbs heavier, several shades greyer) appeared on Iraqi TV, I thought the world would join me in laughter at the attempt to con us into thinking it was the real Saddam.

But, no - the world's news media reported it as being the real Saddam!

Mercifully, the media are now reporting that it's very possible that the tyrant was killed in that first strike.

Let's hope he was!

The most gullible people in this country are readers of the Daily Mail. Some of our readers may be just as gullible, but we can always rely upon our clique to question in a most rigorous fashion the fantasists who have sought to undermine the important sociological research that is being undertaken here.

Consequently, many writers have come and gone. At the moment the guns are loaded against Darwinian Man.

Examples of the gullibility of readers of Internet spanking fora can be seen in the responses to a story recently posted to spankingmemories.com entitled, ‘Spanked on my brother’s wedding day’.

I am sure I have seen other stories by the writer of the original piece elsewhere on the Internet. The style is familiar: I just can’t place it.

When I read "This is really a true story" on a spanking board it's a bit like Donald Rumsfeld or Saddam Hussein starting out a speech by saying "now I'm telling you the truth".

As for the ol' maddas himself, isn't he 61 or 62? I thought the podgy chap on TV yesterday morning looked younger, if anything. Rumour has it that it was actually filmed in the storeroom of a Tesco's in Scotland.

Emily_Rose of Woking who wrote ‘Spanked on my brother’s wedding day’ has also contributed to the same site, under a different name, ‘MY EMBARRASSING PUBLIC SPANKING’. This piece contains some deliberate spelling mistakes and thus the mainly Colonial readership has failed to realise that Emily_Rose of Woking and jennyw are one and the same.

The same person has posted a poem entitled, ‘The Happiest Days?’ on Brutish Spanking using the name ‘Beggan’.

I wonder who he/she could possibly be?
