It gets better.
Yesterday, in comes a report from reader Roguewrld that, contrary to Funny’s report, students at Emory University did NOT fall into a terrified faint at the mere glimpse pro-Trump graffiti scribbled on sidewalks and stair risers. Hilariously, Roguewrld found confirmation of this claim at Snopes.com, the bottomless well of de-hoaxification.
Pretty amazing: that tale was found in the good gray pages of the Washington Post, a national publication of record whose seriousness verges on the staid.
Nice catch, Roguewrld!
Traveling deeper into Monty Python territory, we explore the current state of Snopes.com. As it develops, Alabama legislators have NOT proposed to bar people who own cars from receiving public assistance. FALSE. But that one actually was floated, with a straight face, in my august state.
The image of the four Trump-loving women displaying T-shirts that spelled out, a word at a time, MAKE AMERICA WHITE AGAIN turns out to have been Photoshopped. Drat! It was so believable!
Walnuts are not drugs. Even the FDA has not declared walnuts to be drugs.
Mason Wells, the young Mormon missionary injured in the recent Brussels attacks, is not a “survivor” of two prior attacks. He was among 500,000 other people present at the Boston Marathon, nowhere near the bombings, and was two hours out of Paris at the time of the Bataclan attacks.
Even in Mississippi, you can’t drown in a carwash.
Nutella, with sugar its lead ingredient, is probably not very good for you. On the other hand, it’s not immediately toxic.
Cadbury has not, in a superfluity of political correctness, banned the word “Easter” from its packaging for chocolate eggs.
Well, darn. You just can’t have any fun anymore…
