I’m sure journalists would love to raise funds to place a memorial in Germany for Hitler and another one for Saddam Hussein, their hero.

The ‘other’ stuff isn’t fit to carry the trash generated by the Onion or Scrappleface authors.

The other stuff just shows how talented the Onion and Scrappleface writers really are.

Some people are satisfied with imitations. Some aren’t.

"other stuff"

If the other fellow's, AZConservative, stuff is so bad, why are so many Freepers fooled by them?

That is one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen. (Yes, the tears are flowing.)

I've witnessed the Patriot Guard and it was a sight to behold. But I've never heard of The Liberty Bell man. God bless him.

How appropriate for today.

“Psst...it’s satire. I can see why you would think it is real though given how our media in this country behaves....lol.’

The scariest thing about this is that it could be true with the way the MSM is sold out to the P.C. agenda. Don't feel too bad Humble.

Ahhh....there it is....some people think satire is supposed to be a good counterfeit of the real thing and that isn’t it at all.

The point of good satire isn’t simply to fool the audience. Otherwise Dan Rather would have been satire.

Satire has to make a point by poking fun at the target by parody, silliness, humor, irony, etc.

Counterfieting a news story doesn’t neccessarily accomplish that.

Don’t feel alone, I fell for it,and at the same time wondered what scrappleface meant. I just knew it had to be satire, but after some research we were doing about reporters at the pentagon, and I got pinged to the thread...I thought it was legit and an ongoing research thingy.

(Ya got me 444 and pen)

I have no idea, just that scrappleface = good satire.

In fact, on their page now is satire of parody with their Real Mr. Congressman stuff.

(yes, it is satire on the Budwieser “Real Men of Genious” ads)

That is one of the most thoughtful things I’ve ever seen done for our KIA and their families. I’m tearing up again...

If you don’t like AZConservative’s satires, don’t read them. I like his more than Ott’s.... whose satires are pretty good too.
