George Speight Announces the Release of New Social Network

It’s A Total Game Changer

George Speight, the principle instigator of the 2000 coup has announced the release of a new social network called Prison Mates which he believes will leave Facebook, Twitter and MySpace in a cloud of dust.

The announcement was made in a special press conference held at Naboro Maximum Prison where George Speight appeared with two other co founders of the new social network.

According to Mr. Speight, he had read about the other social networks like Facebook and Myspace and developed PrisonMates in his cell block with two of his fellow inmates based on what he thought was lacking in those social networks.

“PrisonMates is even better. It’s a total game changer. We have added many features to it. Like we have walls where we can write our thoughts, send messages to fellow inmates by writing it on a piece of paper and having it delivered through prison guards. We have also requested fellow inmates to develop applications for our social network and currently we are reviewing what could become an instant hit and it’s called Meet My Match.”

Mr. Speight also gave an insight to the most popular application of PrisonMates. “Right now we have this thing called Poke Lite and Super Poke which is proving to be very popular among inmates. The beauty of it is that it’s done in real-time and 3-D. At the moment Super Poke is only available in Naboro Maximum.”

“And we have also added loads of games and one of the most popular one is Farm. In this game everyone works on actual farm and raise crops and livestocks ,” Mr. Speight proudly announced.

On being asked about future plans for his social network, Mr. Speight told reporters that like Facebook which was initially available only to University and College students, he would limit the membership to prison inmates around Fiji before venturing it to offshore prisons.
