The best of Julian Ass (the fake Julian Assange)

The WikiLeaks founder gets the Twitter spoof treatment.

By Tony Hudson

It was only a matter of time before the WikiLeaks affair became a source for internet comedy. Someone is posing as the WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, under the name Julian_Ass, on Twitter.

Here are our top five funniest tweets from the page:

1. On the bus, old man in front of me was playing ‘got yer nose’ with his grandson. ‘IT’S HIS THUMB!’ I screamed. The truth must be told.

2. Round a friend’s, just started playing Cluedo. I’ve told everyone it was Rev Green in the Lounge with the rope. They had the right to know.

3. Chilly out, I’d wear a hat, but I don’t have one. What’s the point? I never keep anything under it.

4. Helping Mum make dinner. Spilled the beans. As per.

5. Wrapping Christmas presents with Mum. She’s wrapping, I’m writing what it is on the outside. People WANT to know!
