This is probably my favorite in a while. The set up is so banal and then it suddenly gets dark as hell. It makes the whole thing hit that much harder.

Every time I read this I think about the time my dad thought it would be a cool ideas to work with 11 year old me in my attempt to build a crossbow. We drafted plans and went to the hardware store and spent weeks building the drat thing. I had it for all of 5 minutes before I punched a quarter inch hole in the garage door with a plastic GI Joe missile from 5 feet away. Only then did it dawn on him that 'holy poo poo this might not have been a good idea'

RIP crossbow

I didn't think the tweet was funny, but this level of response surely is.

I don't get what this is satirizing. People with comm degrees? Are they generally considered to be entitled assholes or what?

Comm is generally considered to be for people who couldn't hack it in one of the more discipline focused business degrees.

This is really familiar. Didn't they publish one like this right after Newtown (or another similar massacre)?

Sort of

A few years ago they were obsessed with horses.

Getting the horse mask ad right below this post was oddly unsettling.

You guys read any other satire news? I can't really stand the Daily Currant or Borrowitz Report for reasons that are difficult to articulate. Maybe a side by side comparison of similar articles will help:

The Daily Currant:
Obama Agrees to Repeal Obamacare as Part of Shutdown Deal


The Onion:
Republicans Give In Right Before Obamacare Would Have Been Repealed


I don't know if it's just brand loyalty but I find the Onion's version infinitely funnier. Maybe because it actually reads like a joke rather than just straight Republican wish-fullfillment.

The currant is good because it's just obscure enough and plays it straight enough that every once in a while a (relatively) smart person will fall for it and flip the gently caress out. Otherwise I don't think it's all that great.
