Really, it's the "CRAZY BUDDHIST MADMAN KILLS 4 IN TOOLOOZ" that gives it away.Click here if you're having trouble sleeping.

It's sad, because there are so many real faux pas on Fox News to laugh at. Why would anyone need to make some up?“As a lifelong member of the Columbia Business School community, I adhere to the principles of truth, integrity, and respect. I will not lie, cheat, steal, or tolerate those who do.”

The original was funny enoughChristianity: The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree...

This is how the internet works. Gaff is made, everyone laughs at it. Parodies of gaff are made, some people laugh at it. Parodies of gaff become extremely widespread, it becomes a meme. Millions of people laugh at it. Meme becomes old, people laugh at those still posting the meme, latecomers laugh at the meme. Eventually meme becomes universally sad, people just feel sorry for those posting the meme. People post the meme to grate on the nerves of those who are sick of it.
This is how it should be. This progression maximizes the amount of utility initiated by the gaff. While the second to last step is not of direct benefit, it's a necessary result of the maximization of value and leads to further potential utility (pissing people off).

But it seems to speak volumes about Fox News quality in "news" when some people are not sure if the above graphic is a parody, or the real thing.A lot of Republicans are not racist, but a lot of racists are Republican.

I remember back when union workers and government employees in Wisconsin organized protests against anti-union laws. One day I was in Madison when they had one of the protests and I saw people carrying inflatable palm trees.
IIRC, the inflatable palm trees was to make fun of the fact that Fox News confused Florida with Wisconsin by presenting news about a protest that was happening in Florida, but reporting it as if it was happening in Wisconsin.A lot of Republicans are not racist, but a lot of racists are Republican.
