I wasn't saying there was anything wrong with it. Just that it's disturbingly funny. Thus, I put it in this thread.

Fuzzy, is that site some sort of Onion-esque thing? There is a big controversy going on about Spelling right now, but it has nothing to do with Vt., it's because the Buster Bunny cartoon had a lesbian couple in it. (And if I'm being naive again, tell me, because I'm just not quite awake yet.)

yeah, it's at least partially satire, which always has a basis in reality. note the comment about the bottom that says that says "One of the quotes in this post is real and Not Made Up At All"

Yes, it's satire, though it wounds me to have to clarify that.

I dunno, I'm just very literal the last couple of days. Dang sinus infection. It's been over a month now. I think it's rotting my brain.

I'm starting to think that satire is the medium of the logically crippled.  I mean, honestly, I haven't read any clever satire in years.  I've heard nothing but mindless "everybody knows that gays are people too" invective over that buster bunny/lesbian couple thing.  

If one wants to show that mainstreaming the homosexual lifestyle would be good for our society rather than bad, one should come up with a line of reasoning that carries more weight than, "you're mean and stupid if you don't agree"

Instead of writeing a review today, I was looking around the Lazlo site and eventualy (after going through other links) came upon these series of photos.

http://www.gennet.org/facts/nessie.html

Now I don't care if they're a rotting shark, the real thing or photoshoped (which many say they are), I just think they look cool.

I have this in disturbing because, well they're pictures of a rotteing corpse, one said to be a plesiosaur.

This makes me think of Gemm.  He could write things like this.

Who couldn't have predicted the outcome?

I sure hope those midgets heal up fast. I want to see video footage of their regular bouts.

Sorry, SE.  I'm not buying it.  (I'm not sure if you were serious about that link or not.)

First, the story is ridiculous.

Second, it uses BBC logos--but it's not on the BBC news site.  It's hosted somewhere else.

Prank.
