You’d think they would have caught on when the 1st word in the 4 paragraph is “Imperial”. FR now has drive-by readers ...

Satire has to be flagged in the title.

“Satire has to be flagged in the title”

In an article about fictional cartoon characters? You’re kidding. I am concerned for you if you live in a world in which any of the characters in the piece are real.

Would I need to flag this one as satire as well?

And what about General Tso?

No mention of the “crime” he committed that resulted in life-long KP duties.

Probably never getting a date with anyone, if you cannot discern a joke or satire. Maybe there are other Disney characters that will find you appealing but given the trend in character development at Disney Studios, I’d be very cautious.

Heck, compared my Navy Boot camp, DI, your Air Force TI, was a gentleman.

Yes, Jim Robinson has requested that it be labled - A word about posting satire:
No, FR is not trying to quash satire. However, it should be clearly labeled as such in the title. Some people seem to think it's great trickling our readers into falling for satire. It's not. A lot of people come to FR and scan the headlines clicking on articles of interest. If they're not familiar with the author or source, they may be misled and may even pass it on to others. No thanks.

If you post satire, please label it as "satire' in the title.

It highlights P.T. Barnum’s saying about a fool being born every minute.

And yes we all have been fooled at one time or another, it’s just the ease with which, in this case, you were able to fool people that’s surprising, especially freepers, who you’d think are less gullible.

The reason given i.e. the excuse does not relate to the reason for the disciplinary action. It was provided by Chinese perception that that term would be useful for the American press.

No, a Disney movie. He did a good job, considering what he had to work with

If you ladies leave my island, if you survive recruit training... you will be a weapon, you will be a minister of death, praying for war. But until that day you are pukes! You're the lowest form of life on Earth. You are not even human ****ing beings! You are nothing but unorganized grabasstic pieces of amphibian sh@#! Because I am hard, you will not like me. But the more you hate me, the more you will learn. I am hard, but I am fair! There is no racial bigotry here! I do not look down on ****s, kikes, wops, or greasers. Here you are all equally worthless! And my orders are to weed out all non-hackers who do not pack the gear to serve in my beloved Corps! Do you maggots understand that?
