Utah Bob #35998 Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 Not all. But way too many. They see satire sites and re-post them, where other folks see it and flip out in a snowball effect of ignorance. And then when you point out it’s FAKE, some dumba** will say “Well, if it ain’t true, it should be”. Don’t be a dumba**. Here’s the latest one. And it says right at the top of the page it’s SATIRE!! https://thegloriousamerican.com/sports/wnba-players-issue-ultimatum-to-american-people-its-either-us-or-the-flag/?fbclid=IwAR2yx0AhDJJhpOM4MfYQdWx68fBW9IvqEdh3GSxn_zz7p0MJpJtR5aXVW-Y Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat Riot Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 Most people wouldn't read the part under the site title where it says it's satire. Personally I have never understood the attraction to online satire. I guess I am too literal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badger Mountain Charlie SASS #43172 Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 You assume that all people understand the meaning of satire. Some of us have a problem with big words. I am still working on See Dick and Jane run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Capt. R. Hugh Kidnme Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 If you find anyone, who reads anything in print (newspaper, on-line articles, emails, snail mail, contracts, memos, texts, bill of sales, billboards.......) completely in today's day and age, introduce them to me. I really want to shake their hand. Wait, I can't do that because of something I read about called Wu- flu, CO-19, or The Vid or........Damn! I should have read that piece to the end.

In Alistair Maclean's Satan Bug, the bad guy is escaping in a turquoise car. The hero tells the cop to broadcast on the radio to the other cops to be on the lookout for a turquoise Fiat. The boss cop says no don't do that. "You tell most of these guys turquoise, and they will think you're talking about their Christmas dinner. Say greenish-blue." Ever since then I think of that rock as turkey. Yeah I know. I'm strange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
