That ad was really stupid in the way that you know had the white wine libs applauding and thinking “We’re so CLEVER! Take THAT FAUX!”

One thing that cracks me up about left wingers is that they think they are so clever when they are really idiots. This whole "Faux News" jibe that they like to repeat over and over, then giggle, is a prime example. The word "faux" is not pronounced even close to the same as the word "fox", so the "clever" play on words totally fails, but rather than realize that and leave that lame attempt at wit behind, they hold onto it like its a Shakespearian gem.

It’s funny you mention that because as I was typing that post I was thinking “Don’t these idiots realize you don’t pronounce that ‘fox’...?”

They think it’s just so coooool that they use a FRENCH word—shows how sophisticated they are—and yet the way they use it doesn’t even make sense in a joking way because it’s not a homonym for the one they’re mocking.
