Journalists Risk Life and Limb To Bring You Latest Floating Reptile News

by Riley Waggaman  3:09 pm November 24, 2010

We thought CNN was 'reinventing' itself?Wonkette operative Jon writes: “Journalism. This is it.” C’mon, Jon. That is so insulting to the crackerjack reporters at the Wall Street Journal, who just released a fine piece of muckraking journalism with the earth-shattering headline, “So, Did Spam Ever Leave the Cans? A Meaty Mystery Is Making Waves — Cruise Line Says It Served None; Passengers Winced Over ‘Pink Chunks’.” See?

Speaking ill of flying snakes is pretty legit journalism, all things considered.

Flying snakes, the new white meat. And better than Spam.

GOPCrusher November 24, 2010 at 3:56 pm

Are you insinuating that Spam is meat?

Negropolis November 25, 2010 at 1:07 am

And, why does it have to be the new white meat? Why can't it be the new dark meat? And, what's the deal with airplane food? Amirite?

If the people of TV would have us believe that Bristol Palin can "dance"…then I see no reason not to believe that snakes can "fly". And pigs, too. Also.

Monsieur_Grumpe November 24, 2010 at 3:19 pm

Wasn't Meaty Pink Chunks Levi's nickname for Bristol?

ManchuCandidate November 24, 2010 at 3:28 pm

No. The Situation's.

Lascauxcaveman November 24, 2010 at 3:32 pm

Either way, it's the name of my next band.

Monsieur_Grumpe November 24, 2010 at 3:49 pm

Was Vagina Blood Farts already taken?

Lascauxcaveman November 24, 2010 at 4:07 pm

No, that was AIDS Toilet Seat & The Vaginal Blood Farts. I was briefly with them in the mid 80s when their regular bassist was in jail. We actually opened for a couple of (locally) well known bands at the Gorilla Gardens back in the day. And some great house parties. It was a lot of fun for me, being the only Buddy Holly lookalike in a sea of ripped punk denim and black.

ManchuCandidate November 24, 2010 at 3:21 pm

Enough is enough! I have had it with these motherfucking snakes flying off this motherfucking tower!

JoshuaNorton November 24, 2010 at 3:21 pm

In keeping with the culinary holiday theme, Spam makes a lovely turkey stuffing. Also.

I'll take their word for it.

A little goes a long way, I eat Spam Musubi about twice a year.

I love Riley like I love my own penis, but I gotta beg to differ here.

To be fair, those snakes are for real, though they are more like "floating on air" than flying, so to be balanced, they did not use "OMG" in vain.

YA WHATEVER

horsedreamer_1 November 24, 2010 at 3:23 pm

Snakes!? Why did it have to be snakes?

Weenus299 November 24, 2010 at 3:25 pm

They missed a chance to load up a scaffolding full of snakes and have them whip up on John Roberts' face and neck.

Ratings would've snaked up over Joe SSSSscarboroughsss little program.

COBRAAAAA!

DoktorZoom November 24, 2010 at 3:33 pm

Obligatory McSweeney's link.

freakishlywrong November 24, 2010 at 3:26 pm

Today, we are all muthafuckin' snakes on a muthefuckin' plane.

Oblios_Cap November 24, 2010 at 3:26 pm

Spam, Spam, Spam!

Spam Oven Roasted Turkey (yes, they do make that flavor) is people!

bagofmice November 24, 2010 at 3:26 pm

Snake. SNAKE? SNAAAAAAAAAAAKE!!!!!!!!!!!

DashboardBuddha November 24, 2010 at 4:24 pm

Badger badger badger…

GOPCrusher November 24, 2010 at 4:33 pm

Badgers? Badgers? We don't need no steekin badgers!

DoktorZoom November 24, 2010 at 3:31 pm

FoxNews: OMG LYING FAKES!

weejee November 24, 2010 at 3:31 pm

There's a movie in the works on the voyage: Silence of the Spams

DahBoner November 24, 2010 at 3:32 pm

This show was just like "The Sound of Music".

But without the Nazis.

Or the music.

bumfug November 24, 2010 at 3:33 pm

Turns out they're just long, skinny bats.

mrblifil November 24, 2010 at 3:38 pm

What a bunch of asp holes.

slappypaddy November 24, 2010 at 3:38 pm

fucking pampered denizens of the decrepit empire. they're pissing and moaning over being fed something, anything, in an emergency. several cruise liners could be filled with the corpses of the people who starve to death every day and who would have been more than thankful to have anything at all to eat if it could have kept death away a little longer.

sorry. not much in the way of snark. just something to think about while we cram ourselves full of food tomorrow.

jim89048 November 24, 2010 at 3:42 pm

True, snakes is good eatin'. Rattlesnakes, anyway, don't know about these flying snakes.

DashboardBuddha November 24, 2010 at 4:23 pm

It would be kinda cool if they were flying rattlesnakes. We can train them to attack terrorists! We can get Snake Plisskin to lead them.

GOPCrusher November 24, 2010 at 4:34 pm

I heard he was dead.

Rarian Rakista November 25, 2010 at 8:16 pm

Well as long as it is not Baoht Z'uqqa-Mogg, the flying scorpion old god from the Cthulu mythos.

EdFlintstone November 24, 2010 at 3:45 pm

Well I dont care if the fuckers fly, but they're going through TSA screening just like everybody else.

nounverb911 November 24, 2010 at 4:02 pm

Good luck getting John Boehner through TSA screening.

sherriawilson November 24, 2010 at 4:35 pm

I hope all of the flying snakes refuse to enter the Porno-Cancer Scanners and opt for the molestation.

Mort_Sinclair November 24, 2010 at 3:50 pm

Articles about Spam are probably the Journal's attempt to attract teabaggers. There aren't a lot of good reasons for the reasonably informed to read the Wall Street Journal on the best of days, so trying to snag their constituency-in-waiting with some Spam might not be a bad way for Murdoch's rag to go. Watch for the article on Bristol Palin's shopping trip to Fashion Bug.

chascates November 24, 2010 at 4:59 pm

The people who read the Journal or watch Fox and Friends can't process complex story lines about the economy or world affairs. Listen to people discussing these stories in a cafe or a bar and you realize where those Special Ed kids on the school bus ended up.

jornolizm. I haz it.
