FamouspersonITIS...a real threat.

It has recently come to the attention of the Big News at Twelvty that a strange, infectious, potentially deadly disease is sweeping the nation. You may laugh but this illness is no joking matter: Famouspersonitis.

Famouspersonitis was first identified 3 weeks ago in the capital of Drunkendancesstan, which is also, conincidentally, the HQ of the Big News at Twelvty. Three unsuspecting young persons became the first patients to be infected by the many forms of the disease. Of course we have photos.

1. Hitleritis

The most common and most deadly of the famouspersonitissss. The victim's appearance begins to resemble that of Hitler, the meanest dictator of all time. While the personality of the patient is not altered in the slightest it is very very hard to look past the exterior.

Here Roisin begins to display the first signs of Hitleritis and tries to cover her symptoms up. Note the black hair, sleeked back and parted to the side and the unmistakable moustache.

Here Juanine appears to be in the late stages of Hitleritis.

In this picture, Tonto, no less, is completely subdued to the virus. Well, scientists think its a virus...they're still investigating. She is joined by Roisin, again, who made a complete recovery from Hitleritis only to become infected by Gregitis. This is a much less harmful disease. Symptoms include looking like a legoman and abusing celebrities.

2. Chaplinitis

Very very similar to Hitleritis but a lot less evil, borderline comical in fact, although not of course to the patient, whose vision can become affected. The patient may loose all colour in their vision and may only be able to see in black and white. The reason for this is yet unknown

Greg exhibits a full blown Chaplinitis which seems to make him think he can sing. He was orginally diagnosed with Hitleritis but when he didn't manifest any of the Hitleritis symptoms such as trying to speak German, his condition was reclassified. (as yet no picture)

3. Licolnitis

Still fairly uncommon in these here parts but as you can see Roisin just cannot escape the wrath of any of the famouspersonitisisss.

There is still no known cure but scientists maintain they are close to achieving one. Prevention is better than cure so the best advice upon sight of a potentially infected person...do not approach them and alert the authorities. Stay at a safe distance and laugh from there.
