Hey Fox News, Is This More Of That Satire We’ve Been Hearing About?

by Jim Newell  

What is dumb Fox News doing now, hmm? It appears they aired a segment over the weekend called “Will High Gas Prices Cost Your Kids Their Education?” This, presumably, was to explain this secret classified report: If you have to spend more money on one thing, there is less money to spend on another thing. Fox News illegally leaked this homeland security information and, in doing so, spelled “education” as “eductaion.” We hope that this was not meant as satire — which the New Yorker magazine invented only last week and now look, IT’S EVERYWHERE — because a child’s education is no laughing matter. The thought of children being so illiterate that they cannot spell a common, phonetic word… well, just imagine living in a country of adult retards! [YouTube via Think Progress]

“You are educated stupid!” is a fine internet tradition of which John McCain is probably not aware.

I’ve used this before but I had no idea I was misspelling: “Fuck’s News.’

it means kids with two working parents will have to go to community college. They will alos have to ride public transportation to get to their sub standard college courses.

[re=40679]Dairy Queen[/re]: And that is different from now…. how?

The only actual cause for concern here is that the kids who are walking might actually loose some weight. And that, my friends, lessens the weight america can throw around the world.

The question is, is our children learning?

FOX NEWS:

We report on Eductian sources, you decide on these Eductian sources.

FreshCliches July 21, 2008 at 7:58 pm

So, we’ve established that the Fox chyron editors will no longer patronize McDonalds, correct?

Serolf Divad July 21, 2008 at 9:13 pm

How many more children will have to DIE from over-walking before America wakes up and takes notice?!

sanantonerose July 21, 2008 at 9:27 pm

Too. Easy.

Jim Newell July 22, 2008 at 12:02 am

[re=40730]Not_So_Much[/re]: Exactly! I was using more of that New Yorker-style “satire”!

That news reader sure looks smart. I’m naturally suspicious about people who are too smart, if you know what I mean.
