You See, the Onion Has This Website Called Clickhole………

It's a parody of click bait sites (Buzzfeed, etc.), and they just published an article titled, "I’m Sick Of Busting My Ass Doing Neo-Nazi Stuff Only To Have Some Masked Antifa Dweebs Get Credit As The Real Fascists."

It mocks so many things on so many levels so very ably.

Unfortunately, it's parody, but with a little bit of work, we could turn it into a religion.

It's Parody………

But I wish that this was reality:

Once again, reality is insufficient.

Billy West Should Get a Nobel Prize

The voice actor, known for Doug and Ren and Stimpy, as well as the voice of Fry, among others, in Fututama.

One of the voices that he did on the latter show was that of Zapp Branigan, the egotistical, incompetent, and misogynist ship commander who once had a fling with Turanga Leela, much to Leela's chagrin.

Mr. West decided to read Donald Trump quotes as if they were spoken by Zapp Branigan and posted it to Twitter (#MakeAmericaBrannigan), and it is brilliant and amazing.

Donald Trump IS Zapp Branigan.:

Why Is This News? Isn't There One in Every Walmart?

It isn't often that you read a story about a, "homeless couple found living in Walmart attic with hot plate, meth lab, and 42" LED TV," but when you think about it, it is a juxtaposition that seems to fit that retail establishment.

Of course, the link is a parody site, Now8News, but it is the sort of story that should be true.

In a word this story is dripping with truthiness, even if it isn't true:

Being homeless has to be very difficult, especially in the colder times of the year. But not for this Tennessee couple who had been “living in the lap of luxury” above a Tennessee Walmart store. The ‘homeless’ man, 48-year-old Wilbert Thomas, admitted to police that he and his girlfriend 54-year-old Ingrid Malone, had been living above the store for over two years. What they did to the attic, baffled police and store employees.

It's a brilliant bit of parody, because it sounds so true.

This is Satire, and it Sucks to Have to Say It

No, the Pentagon is now requesting a budget authorization to purchase gold plated F-35s, it is parody from Duffelblog:

The Pentagon released a report today requesting Congressional authorization for 500 gold-plated F-35 fighter planes.

The F-35 Lightning II is a fifth-generation multirole stealth fighter intended to replace numerous aging aircraft, including the A-10 Thunderbolt II and the F-16 Fighting Falcon. The F-35 program has been fraught with problems, including numerous delays, cost overruns, and failure to deliver on promised operational performance.

The new variant, dubbed the F-35G, is proposed as an upgrade over existing F-35 models. In addition to 24K gold plating encasing its exterior, its cockpit is trimmed with wood grain paneling harvested from the endangered African blackwood tree and leather upholstery from the hide of the northern white rhinoceros. Its GAU-12/A 25mm rotary cannon is able to fire solid platinum rounds at a rate of 3300 per minute. Each round is handcrafted by a Swiss jeweler.

“In an ever-evolving battlefield, it is imperative to have a military equipped with tactical vehicles that offer versatility, adaptability, and mother of pearl ice buckets to keep champagne bottles cold during missions,” reads the Pentagon report. “Our service men and women deserve to fly in only the finest combat aircraft.”

Each F-35G unit is projected to cost 8.2 billion dollars, approximately twice the average annual GDP of some of the countries it is expected to bomb. The total cost, including development, procurement, operation, and sustainment, will top $15 trillion over the life of the program.

I will note that this is not that far from the truth.

Each B-2 bomber, for example, costs about $2.1 billion dollars.

With an empty weight of 158,000 lbs, and the current price of gold being $1,147.00/ troy ounce, it costs almost as much as if it were made of gold. (158,000 lbs of gold would cost $2,642,878,402.00)

Us weapons procurement is well and truly broken.

This Is a New Social Networking Service That I Approve Wholeheartedly

It requires no computer, though it does require a functioning elbow. It is called pub:

A middle-aged visionary has launched an offline service called ‘pub’, which allows friends to interact in a building.

Overweight, balding 46-year-old Martin Bishop sees ‘pub’, known locally as The Woodcutter’s Arms, as a place where people can verbally communicate while drinking beer.

He said: “There’s Steak Night on Tuesdays and a ska band every third Friday. Hopefully we’re getting the toilets done next month because they’re a bit grim at the moment.”

24-year old blogger Nikki Hollis commented: “I love going to the pub because it’s so interactive and exciting. For example, my friend will say something about her life, and then I comment, and then she comments back, and then I comment, and so on.

………

However police have warned about the potential dangers of ‘pub’: “People in the pub aren’t always who they seem to be. A middle-aged man could claim to be a small girl. Stay alert, use your eyes.”

I'm wondering if they could come up with a sports themed version of this.

I think that "Sports Pub" could be a real winner.
