The town of Radstock has unfriended neighbour Midsomer Norton on popular social website Facebook, it has emerged.
The news broke after Radstock claimed they were fed up with Midsomer Norton constantly posting optimistic updates that “have no place on Facebook.”
“They’re far too happy. ‘Oh, look at our bustling highstreet, look at our lively pubs, look at the flowers in our beautiful public gardens, where unicorns roam freely atop of rainbows. Oh and did we mention we have a murder mystery show named after us?'”
“And what have we got eh? An overpowering feeling of bleakness and futility, a controversial flagpole and a museum that no one ever visits.
Well… fuck them.”
“Facebook is the place where pessimism, negativity and suspicion manifest themselves. There is no place for optimism here. Bugger it, we’re upgrading Peasedown from ‘Acquaintances” to ‘Close Friends’.”
“All they post is slightly odd pictures of last night’s dinner and rhetorical questions about why nobody likes them.”
When asked about the news, Midsomer Norton shrugged,
“Honestly, we didn’t even know Radstock were on Facebook.”
