You can now buy the book - Amused by the World - a compilation of 2009’s top stories, edited and updated, from Newsarse.com - the UK’s fastest growing satirical news website.

“Successful Earth Hour delays inevitable global catastrophe, by an hour”
“World pig population shows signs of man-flu pandemic”
“New MPs Code of Conduct to include every possible definition of the word ‘thievery’”
“Ryanair to charge customers for breathable air”
“Americans protest for the right to make insurance companies richer”
