PressBot, the ever busy delegate ofa wretched hive of scum and villainy that place where the rejects go, has been spotted prowling the outskirts of TNP in recent weeks, with at least 4 confirmed sightings from traumatised members of the public. PressBot was outlawed in TNP following a series of foot-in-mouth outbreaks some time ago and since then, the terrible affliction has only been observed in isolated cases, although the authorities remain vigilant.
The PressBot has approached government officials past and present, ranging from former speakers to current ministers and even to former delegates, every time met with firm rebuttals. The Ministry of Communications has issued a handy guide to avoid contact with PressBot's highly infectious propaganda, urging all sightings of the blue and white menace to be reported to relevant authorities.
The PressWatch team has come up with their Top 3 Ways to Avoid PressBot:
1. Don't Engage: If PressBot attempts to engage you, avoid eye contact, movement and all sound. Look elsewhere. Walk in the opposite direction.
2. Refer to Higher Authority: If 1. fails, then your next best option is to continually refer PressBot to the person directly above you in the chain of authority. Don't skip rungs, that denies your superior a chance to refer it up or down.
3. Fake Your Death or Something Similarly Extreme: In emergencies, this can work. Disappear (for added amusement tell any number of friends 'we are discovered, flee immediately' and see who has something to hide). Canoe into the sunset only to turn up years later in Central Pacifica. Claim mutism or other condition that will make PressBot perhaps one day feel something akin to guilt (presumably following an adventure with a mid-western girl, her dog, a lion, a scarecrow and a wizard).
For further updates on PressBot and Foot-In-Mouth Syndrome, be sure to look out for further stories from PressWatch.
