i faked this news

And i thought i am not that great at faking things. Here is my first attempt at faking news. I posted this article on the forum which got 39 hits as of now and still running.

In an interesting development today which is going to change the face of Indian democracy, the election commission decided to get rid of electronic voting machines for the elections to be held in 2014. The commission has come up with a proposal to use 'Like' feature of Facebook instead. The process will be simple, the candidate will have to create a FB profile and the counting of vote will be online with the number of 'likes' reflected for the candidate on FB. Although, candidates can use only their own pictures as profile pics; use of bollywood hotties as profile picture is strictly prohibited. Allegedly, this move has been made to involve the youth of today more in to the democratic processes and procedures. Also, since the roll-out of UID has been marred by internal politics, the election commission feels that Facebook ID can very well be used in place of UID. To ensure that there is no duplication in the facebook id creation, a sophisticated software is being developed by none other than Vishw Bandhu Gupta ( Former IAS, has excellent understanding of computers specially cloud computing; for un-initiated, please check you tube). On basis of the updates, profile pics, frequency of lol'z and ROFL's used this software will create a unique profile for each user. With super cheap tabloids in the market, access shouldn't be a problem, said an official. The government is all set to subsidize already subsidized USD 35 tabloid to Rs. 32 tabloid so that at least people above the poverty line can exercise the power to vote and later the right to be socially active. Facebook has its apprehensions on the long term impact on its brand. Analysts are of view that this might lead in to serious 'seriousization' of Facebook and would put it in bad boring light.
