There is a danger in posting this type of humor without first making sure everyone understands up front it is humor.
I almost fell for it myself (as good satire should there is some element of truth with just a hint of exaggeration).
The problem is many do not read to the end of the article and many will go away thinking this is the truth and they will go about sharing this truth until it is easily shot down.
The situation in New Orleans was (is) serious enough without making up (even humorous) stories that will come back to haunt us later.
Post these type of stories all you want, but clearly label them as satire or humor.
I remember back when the Clintons were in office and so many fake (or humorous) stories were posted I was beginning to think the White House had a staff doing the posting.
Each of these stories dilute the real horror that New Orleans had become. If we float too many humor stories many will begin to think there is nothing to the stories (or blame a vast right wing conspiracy) for the them.
Again, post as you will, just marked them up front - humor
They are marked as humor & the "Semi-News" ought to be a dead givaway.
