Trump Voter Feels Betrayed By President
Best guess?....it's a compound word.....Russian-nesting-malapropistic-satire.
Hmmm, what's a big word that describes a person making joke within a joke by seemingly
and innocently mistaking the obvious?
Alabama Abortion Law
Love the satire and fuck religion altogether. I'd love to see all the RW assholes deported to Trumps buddy MBS's country...
New Math vs Old Math
The satire is strong with this one.
6-Year-Old Explains How Her Entire Life Has Been Put On FB
Report your parents for spreading kiddy porn.
No.
Really.
I get this is satire....but posting naked pictures of children is illegal, and done by thousands of parents. Get a grip, you might think your baby's little popo is just adorable...sharing photos of it makes you a child abuser.
We explain "Nordic Socialism" to Trump
Janteloven is fictional, from a satire piece. Successful Scandinavians are celebrated, not put down.
Side note: The law was not written by Aksel Sandemose - it was found and twisted. The original laws were taken verbatim from the sobriety movement, where the list of laws was hung up on the wall. Although Sandemose did one change - each law ended with "...when you drink". And then the laws suddenly make quite a bit of sense.
Sandemose's contribution was to remove this crucial point of the laws, that it fit mentality he had seen elsewhere. Like all good satire, it has a grain of truth, but it is by no means a defining description of Scandinavians - it works just as well in a lot of hickwille towns all over the world.
The New York Times Just Hired a Racist
You say it is OK when Trump and his supporters do it.
Who said Satire? Anyone who looked at context.
"Jeong’s episode has also raised complicated questions about the stubborn nature of harassment that women of color face online. In a statement she posted to Twitter on Thursday, Jeong said she regretted the tweets and that they had been made as a satirical response to people who had harassed her because of her race and gender online. She included an image of the racial slurs directed at her and said she had used language that “mimicked” that of her harassers."
So racism is OK?

Good on her. White males are fucking awful, especially the kind of idiots like this fucking moron who doesn't understand context or satire.
As the right are so fond of saying "fuck 'em if they can't take a joke".
The New York Times Just Hired a Racist
To be fair, if she was not female or even if she was white, this would be crazy.
Obviously I have to take it with a grain of salt given the source and because she was posting these to 'anti-troll' people trolling her, but if I did the same thing I would be castigated. Even if I later pointed out I was just responding in a satirical fashion.
She is sorry about it and probably didn't mean it, but she was still wrong. The fact that we excuse it is partially a symptom of how pissed we are at Trump, which isn't a good reason to overlook this kind of thing.

Wicked heat wave in New York
Remember when The Onion was satire?
Pepperidge Farms remembers.
Facebook Employees Explain Struggling To Care ...
More like reality has become indistinguishable from their satire.
the satire they're usually known for has now become indistinguishable from reality.
Facebook Employees Explain Struggling To Care ...
Yup, but they're going for a slightly different angle since the satire they're usually known for has now become indistinguishable from reality.
They could literaly switch to just straight covering the news and nobody would notice.
Good comment from YT:
Plot twist: Onion is no longer a fake news channel
The WKRP in Cincinnati closing theme lyrics are gibberish
"The closing theme, "WKRP In Cincinnati End Credits," was a hard rock number composed and performed by Jim Ellis, an Atlanta musician who recorded some of the incidental music for the show. According to people who attended the recording sessions, Ellis didn't yet have lyrics for the closing theme, so he improvised a semi-comprehensible story about a bartender to give an idea of how the finished theme would sound. Wilson decided to use the words anyway, since he felt that it would be funny to use lyrics that were deliberate gibberish, as a satire on the incomprehensibility of many rock songs.[21] Because CBS always had an announcer talking over the closing credits, Wilson knew that no one would hear the closing theme lyrics."

Honest Election Ad - Batman by-election
Pretty sure it's pronounced "bate-man" rather than like the superhero. Odd that an Australian satire mob would get that wrong.
