Ok so reading through the hilarious site (in my opinion) Newsbiscuit (http://www.newsbiscuit.com/) I decided to quickly submit a story of my own. It was quickly typed up and probably with bad grammer, i'm not that great at writing either so don't expect much, anyway here it is:

Leading holocaust awareness organisation denies existence of the Iranian holocaust denial conference
In light of the recent controversial holocaust conference hosted in Iran, an organisation named SLHDS (Skeptical Look at Holocaust Denial Society) has had one of it's leading members make the statement denying the existence of the holocaust denial conference, claiming it to be disgusting that it's existence is accepted around the world by most people, later adding that it's based on only a small amount of questionable evidence.

The Society itself is planning to hold it's own conference somewhere in Israel, though in the face of criticism, the organisation insists that it is only "an objective critical look and in depth analysis of the evidence of the holocaust denial conference in Iran", and pleads with people not to look at it so harshly. "It shouldn't be a taboo to question the existence of this conference, it is the twenty first century for Gods sake, we have the right to difference of opinion" said Mr Levy, president of the organisation.

SLHDS views it as unlikely that the conference took place, stating that it would be "statistically impossible to have such a large number of people that actually deny the holocaust assemble in one place".




*awaits criticism*

Edit: Oh and I think it gets around 100 submissions a day, and is not written only by a select few

the title made me laugh but i think you left a word or 2 out of the first paragraph. it seems to deny the holocaust not deny the holocaust deniers.

I also thought the title was pretty good. The conclusion could be a bit more crisp, but you have a good start, I think! :)

Great idea! And it totally fits in with the normal humour of the site (I read it regularly). Perhaps could be a bit longer though, another paragraph maybe?

Well from what I understand, the editors at that site edit the story anyway, you don't have to have your submission perfect. But thanks for your compliments.
