This site is not listed as humor or satire. Why is it here too?

You do realize that this is a joke right? There is no suit, this is an attempt at satire. Please tell me you realized this.

Hahahah oh my god...You can't be serious. That article is lifted straight from the web site the original poster got it from, it even says at the top "*Red Square * 4/12/2010, 5:27 pm"

Good thing db1025 bumped this back up the top or I'd never have had the chance to read it. I hope you won't try to claim that the story was easy to believe because it's so close to reality, because obviously several of you can't even differentiate between ham-fisted satire and a news story.

Seriously, I love this thread.

Either the site owner didn't recognize satire, or he expected his readers to do so. You're not helping your case, either way.

First law of holes: When you're in one, stop digging.

I've never thought of myself as a genius. Smarter than the average bear, but not a genius. That was until I read the posts on here.

Some of the stuff on that site is reasonably well written. Have we struck upon right-wing humor that's actually funny?

First of all, I like how the communist party is using a concept typically reserved for private entities to preserve intellectual property rights. Second, well need I tell you?
This is not true! The Reich like to make their own truths, each seeing how they can outdo the other. Pure dung.

I wonder how many people on here realize that the Onion is satire.
