The Wibble has just confirmed that it will be expanding further afield and opening a new office in Algeria. This news has, unsurprisingly, sent shockwaves throughout the world, as people wonder just what this satirical news website will be getting up to next.
Rumors have been rife that The Wibble is planning to use its new Algerian base to develop weapons of mass destruction, including the infamous "rods from God." For those not familiar with this devastating weapon, it is actually a long, cylindrical object made from tungsten and can be dropped from orbit to create a massive amount of destruction upon impact. The Wibble has, so far, declined to comment about these rumors, but some sources suggest that there could be some truth in them.
According to anonymous sources who have allegedly seen the plans for the new Algerian office, The Wibble has big plans for their new location. The sources claim that The Wibble's creative team will be tasked with thinking up even more outrageous storylines, while the editorial team will oversee all stories before publication.
But it's not just their output that is rumored to be a threat to global peace; some sources have suggested that they may also be using Algeria as a base to experiment with new technologies. Again, The Wibble has refused to comment on these allegations, but some industry insiders are already speculating that they could be working on the kind of advanced artificial intelligence that could change the face of warfare forever.
One thing that is certain is that if The Wibble does produce any new weapons of mass destruction, they will be satirical in nature. Only last month, the website published an article detailing how they had developed a giant pea shooter capable of sending a man hurtling into the stratosphere. Of course, this was all a joke, but some people have already expressed concern that The Wibble's new Algerian base could lead to some more worrying developments.
When asked about the new base, The Wibble's CEO, Jennifer Smithers, had this to say: "We're very excited about our new office in Algeria. We see this as an opportunity to extend our audience and come up with even more outlandish storylines. There is no limit to what we can achieve."
It remains to be seen just what The Wibble has planned for their new location, and whether they really are developing any new weapons of mass destruction. But one thing is for sure: the world will be watching with bated breath to see what they come up with next.
