Unfortunately we get ignored by City Hall and DeKalb Co many times. It's purgatory.

Well it looks like this joke was the final nail in the coffin. Facebook shutdown the page today due to complaints.

If you haven't already seen his videos, Ben Palmer is the comedian responsible for the City of Atlanta FB page and a ton of other fake pages. His trolling is off the charts.

I love satire as much as anybody (and maybe way too much).

However, in this era of rampant bogosity it's probably better not to use a local government's Official Seal.

That was such a good prank. I'm still laughing over it. The fact that Facebook shut it down just makes it that much funnier for me.

They don't use the official seal. They've given the bird a top hat, and that's enough for it to be considered satire.

Okay. For some reason I'm not seeing the top hat.

The waronxmas post you responded to linked to the real page. The satire page has a top hat.
