WWBN-NY Radio Personality set to Run for Office?
Sat Jan 21, 2012 6:52 amBenjamin Jefferson
The Magical world today woke to a flurry of Werks and stories after last night's broadcast of Dunena Reid's Weird Weird World hinted, quite strongly that recently crowned Houglass Magazine's Person of the Year Dunena Reid, was set to enter the race for the 2012 American Magical Elections with no lesser sight then the Minister's position currently held by Ronald Frump.

Speaking to the Ministry this morning reporters where told that while some paperwork may have been received it was after the weekend cut-off and would not be looked at until the subsequent week at the earliest.. unless it had fallen on the desk of one F. Blake in which one just had to hope that it would be filed at all.

Considered a possible hoax a interview with Producer and year long associate of Mr Reid Benjamin Jefferson led to the following statement "The hell I know? Trust me man I'm usually the last to find out these things"

W! News : Fifi LaRoux Unexpected Australian Visit
Fri Sep 02, 2011 10:23 amFifi LaRoux
Yes ladies the roamers where true that none other then high flung socialite and darling of the European Ministry Fifi LaRoux has been sighted in Melbourne, Australia which has recently been named the worlds most livable city for a second time.

While none have stated what brought on the arrival of Miss LaRoux there's been no question that the world famous Hit Witch has made no secret of her visit with roamers of a behind closed doors meeting with the Minister for Magic himself before dining out at the exclusive Vue de Monde for drinks. Seemingly at home in the city Fifi underwent a tour of the Auror department before attending the midwinter launch of the Matacore 'Enchantment' line of fashion robes. Speaking exclusively to WWBN Fifi states that she was very pleased to be in Australia and would not commit to any return dates nor roamers that her visit had anything to do with attempts to influence the Australian Ministry to re-think it's ties to Ronald Frump's ministry.

Witch Weekly's exclusive Interview with the well known Hit Witch hits store shelves Monday.
WWBN Number 1 Reporter Takes Aim at Pottermore
Sun Jun 26, 2011 12:56 pmM
It seems that exposing the Minister of Magic's secret love shack was not enough to keep the host of WWBN's Top Rating News and Current Affairs show Dunena's Mad Mad World set for long. Now with the reveal of Pottermore the controversial host has moved to point fingers at not only the American Minister for Magic but that of a number of major Magical Ministries around the world accusing them of taking bribes to allow unfettered access to the Magical World. Outrage from the claims have lead to a call for a full investigation into Mr Reid's accusations. All Eyes are now on the Various Ministers and how they will respond to the latest revelations from the Man himself, Dunena Reid of Mad Mad World.

After the break WWBN-UK Continues it's round the clock coverage of the 2011 Glastonbury Festival, taking place at Worthy Farm in the UK where our own Cherry Clinger is keeping abreast of the top stories and gossip at iconic music festival with interviews with big names and newcomers alike in the Wrock scene including a exclusive with DJ Noiseworks and former one time Weird Sister Nathan Wright.
WWBN World News : Pottermore to go head to head with Woozle?
Fri Jun 24, 2011 5:51 pmM
"In Global News today many Muggles the world over logged on to the unveiling of 'Pottermore' last night, a new co-production between 'JK', Warner Brothers and Muggle Game Man..Man..Manufacturer Sony. Promising to give Muggles and Wizards alike a whole new experience many prominent figures in the magical world have come out damning what they see as yet another crass profit making exercise at the expense of the magical community.

One Hogwarts teacher has stated that since this 'Pottermore thing' started they have been inundated with well over one thousand owls from worried parents, former students and others wishing to know if it would mean Muggles would be allowed to study at Hogwarts or.. worse the school was to give up it's long held stance amongst the only schools to not have it's own interweb network.

While many in the Wizarding World are concerned Woozle today speaking to WWBN-Japan was quoted as "Not at all Worried" while reminding Wizards and Muggles alike that "whatever Pottermore promises to be there is no doubt that with Sony it will only be a matter of time before hackers get it".

In other news the Australian Ministry of Magic has moved to deny any connection to a self-declaired witch jailed for recklessly causing serious injury and dangerous driving. The Australian Minister for Magic was quoted as calling the woman a 'Bloody Idiot' while reminding that no matter what world one thinks they belong to, the laws of Australia still apply.

"WWBN Today officially announced that it has apologized to American Minister for Magic Ronald Frump for allegations made about him on flagship nightly talk show Dunena's Mad Mad World hosted on WWBN. While the Minister was brought into a furor over recent alligations surrounding his private life it was the revelation of his secret Tuscan Villa that has lead to red faces and claims to 'Sue WWBN for every knurd it has'. Amid the turmoil ratings for WWBN's radio talk show have skyrocketed making it more popular then 'Clives Charms Hour'. Speaking to the head of WWBN it was quoted that 'Whoever Dunena is they're on to a good thing, and might just be the Wizarding Worlds answer to the Muggle World's 'Julian Assange'"

20111102

Wow it's been hard to keep up with the calendar when such big events have been happening on board! I'm going to try really hard to keep this short and to the point as much as possible (and will no doubt fail as usual)

Recently we saw the end of the Fight the Darkness Protest, a thread that has gone down in history for bringing forward some of the biggest players in the Magical World face to face for a showdown that I don't think anyone was expecting!

What started as a off-the-cuff idea broadcast on Dunena Reid's radio show quickly spiraled into the biggest thread we've yet to have on Wizards Without Boundaries. Furthermore it seems that the outcome of the protest is still lingering on, it will be interesting to see what will happen to each of the players in time as history decides what, who and how to treat those who where to blame.

So congratulations are in order to Julie and all those who took part, and thank you for really sticking it to the man and bringing the world of wizarding politics, combined with the spirit of the Occupy Wall Street movement to life as never seen before!

It's also worth having a quick run over and introduction of some of the 'big players' in the Magical World. Most of which you will find in the Character Database of all the known faces of Wizards Without Boundaries.

Ronald Frump is of course the American Minister for Magic and is usually roleplayed by Dunena Reid, Cherry Clinger and Greta Greenwich

Dominic Benolt is the French Minister for Magic, the opposite of Ronald Frump he is usually roleplayed by Fifi LaRoux.

and introducing Daniel Davenport the fab. head of WWBN..yep.. all you WWBNers.. it's time to meet your boss! he's usually roleplayed by Cherry Clinger and Greta Greenwich.

You can get a glimpse of all of them at the Wizards Without Boundaries Polyvore account which keeps together all the 'visual' guide to the site and it's characters/people.

Speaking of WWBN, I hear the combined Global Voice and WWBN Halloween Party is 'the place to be' right now. With tensions still high from the protest, some rather interesting guests and costumes aplenty I'm sure it's going to be a interesting night.

Finally, after many months of being 'relaxed' about activity we are starting to ramp up to requiring people take a bit more effort in keeping up with events. Because we know it's tough to balance life and roleplay but it's also important to check in lest you get behind. We try to keep things fair and help out wherever possible, so if you feel lost in events it's simple to read back on the blog, or even just ask and we can give a full update of what's happened since you where here last.

Heads of School's have now been put up for adoption and messages will be getting sent out to the few members who have registered but not taken part in roleplaying for a number of months where they are tying up high level positions. For the majority this will not affect you at all as you've all been brilliant at staying in touch and letting us know what's going on. To the others we ask why not? There's plenty of opportunities for roleplay all over the world with events and open threads just waiting for you to jump in and give it a go.

See.. I knew this would get long.

Lotsa Love, and see you in threadage soon!

- M
