PRESIDENT KEV's FAVORITIST GAFFE INCITES PELLAKEN BAY RESIDENTS!
AP. Pellaken Bay. A small but unruly crowd of demonstrators made their way down Main Street today, in protest against what they call "blatant favoritism" on the part of the President. This was started, they say, by comments made by the president to one of his close friends and political allies, Mr. Leowind. President Kev is alleged, by several reliable sources, to have told Mr. Leowind that he was being saved a choice location for his namesake city, because--as one source who wishes to remain nameless is quoted as saying--"Kev simply likes him better."
In fact, this reporter has secured the contents of a leaked memo written by the President himself to Citizen Leowind, which seems to corroborate these allegations. It states, partly:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
...The only reason I've not named a city after you yet is that I wanted to give your namesake a very nice location. The most recent ones have been more "filler" cities and will overlap with others and have limited growth...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mr. R. Weimar, long-time resident of Pellaken Bay and one of the chief protesters, replies: "We are very upset that the President seems to be implying that some cities of the realm, such as Pellaken Bay, Thunder Falls, etc, are somehow less important--"fillers" if you will--in the Empire."
"Perhaps," another angry-looking protestor quickly chimed in, "we would be considered more important to the Chinese!" Although police were called to the scene, demonstrators remained defiant. They are demanding an immediate apology and full retraction of the statement. Some bystanders were heard to comment that perhaps President Kev had begun to outlive his usefulness. The President's office was unavailable for comment.
