Creative Writing - The Second Half

So after a break we got to do creative tasks that were based around Burroughs' cut up technique; which is basically text cut up to produce new texts. It shows that 'language is a virus programmed into the human biological machine for the current purpose of control'.
What happened was we were all in pairs and given a newspaper, a piece of paper, scissors and some glue. We were then told to make a new piece of text out of words and sentences in the newspaper in front of us; the following was the final product:
"What this country really needs is a Nazi monster taking multivitamins and the curse of Bieber but Brit star can escape those energy saving lightbulbs hallelujah! Shadow Cabinet splits as Balls deflates like a souffle with birthday boy to ambush for Pope's death of a loved one made out of cake! The behaviour is deeply disturbing. I'm surprised they forces a twin to be tested for a miscarriage."

We were then told to open our newspapers to a random page, close our eyes and point at a word on the page. Then the three words either side of that word needed to be written down with the word making a seven word starting point. After that we need to write for 5 minutes without thinking and see what we got. So all I could come up with was:

"Sub, Magaye Grueye, wriggled clear in the open spaces of porta ventura. He adventured to the top of the land cursing and shouting on his way. No-one had any clue what he was saying in fact no-one cared. All he cared about was his climb to reach the top of the slope. After six hours he made it, that's right all 5 metres of hill. Not sure why it took his so long we were waiting there for a heck of a long time at the top, even managed to have a cuppa. I guess he got distracted on the way, there were plenty of things to look at over that short amount of walking I guess. Ok I lie theres like one post that tells you which way to go. I reckon we should have left him and done something"
