Not satire. But funny nonetheless.

I wanted to believe that it was satire also, but the source of the article suggests otherwise.
If it were satire, the question would be "who is it satirizing?"

Hilarious. It's like the OP doesn't think we're capable of scrolling back up to read his first post of the thread. The stupid just keeps on rolling along...


The fact that you feel the need to post 2 paragraphs about someone who simply posted a link to an article and you came to this conclusion says more about you than anything else.

Even if it isn't, so what? If it's OK for Alex Jones to throw emotional fits in public over human/animal hybrids, then it is surely OK for the author of this piece to think that "bud sex" (I like the phrase, thanks to the previous poster) should be OK within gender lines as well as across them. Friends-with-benefits has been a thing since about forever.

And I'm reading other articles like this one, which don't appear to be satire.

The fact that you posted this at all, starting out all offended and then pretending you're not, says everything that we need to know about you.

Why the attacks on me for literally no reason? Trying to make yourself feel better about yourself?
I'm pointing out your back pedaling. Did you not realize we can see your OP? You keep telling yourself you didn't take it seriously, lol. We know better, which is why we're laughing at you. Fail.

Satire or not it's pretty disgusting nonetheless.

Where was I offended? LOL. Where did I say I believed this? LOL.

You're digging yourself a deeper hole, here, not me. Keep going though.

Show me where I backpeddled and said I believed this article, then you'd have a legit argument. But I never said that. Go ahead, I'll wait.

Only fail I see is someone being so triggered by a fluff piece article.

Says the guy who thought this was worthy of a thread to begin with. Your continued efforts to explain yourself are making this thread funnier than your initial backtracking. Carry on. We're all enjoying your futile protests to the contrary. Funny stuff!
