Why is this stuff allowed to be posted??? Should have HOAX written next to the title instead of pi$$ing people off.

I rather like a humorous, satirical post now and then. As a matter of fact, a few of the satirical ones have taught me a valuable lesson. Always read, very carefully, all articles and posts, and give them your full consideration before posting a comment. teehee Laugh a little, it's good for your health. ;)

You ain't the only one. When I got to the "sniffing smokestacks" part, well, I had to look at the source. But how sweet it is. Right on the mark.

LOL! I can understand how someone might have a hard time not believing the TITLE of the story, but not the story itself. The story is filled with hysterically funny comments. A good satire usually has a title that captures the audience in what appears to be a very serious matter and then the fun begins.

After the tsunami and Katrina... well, just about anyting is possible. That's why I didn't read very far.

The read does make it clear what was going on.

Thanks for the comments.

I enjoy funny articles too...but at least put (Satire) next to the title so the blood pressure doesn't have to put to the test. Then I would enjoy the story instead of resenting it...

I really have to start checking the source more often.

How embarassing?

I understand where you're coming from, Fawn. I think it would kind of take the fun out of satire, but I'm all for lowering someone's blood pressure too. ;)

Gee, I though everyone knew what Scrappleface.com is all about. It's called satire. I always read their daily articles. The generally make manure out of RAT statements to the MSM.

"I admire President Clinton's passion about reducing greenhouse gasses," said Mr. Bush in making the appointment. "He gets out in front of the facts and leads with his heart, undeterred by questionable research. Even though when he was in the White House he never submitted the Kyoto Protocol to the Senate for a vote, history will remember that he felt strongly about it. That's what makes him the kind of leader that he is."

Heh heh. Scrappleface has Billy Boy figured out. It's not that he did anything about global warming, it's that he cared. And now that he doesn't have the responsibility, by gosh Kyoto oughtta be done.

Idiot.

After you've read FR awhile and run across a few of these, you'll begin developing a sense of when your leg is being pulled. Then you'll start noticing "Scrappleface" right away. Anytime you see something outrageous, you should be on alert. A healthy skepticism will serve you well here.
