Is This Funny?

I don't think it's funny. It's a HuffPo attempt at humor, which seems, you know, pretty doomed to failure from the get-go. It's the New York Times, as seen through the eyes of right-wingers.

The premise is good, as is the tech to make it work (I guess), but the actual gags are lame. It's all obvious, hack shit.

I can laugh at stuff like this, just not this particular stuff, 'cause it's hack. Jimmy Fallon delivered a great line on SNL along these lines. He intro'd a news segment about the battle of creationists and evolutionists in a school, and then said the two groups had reached a compromise: "Evolution can be discussed, but dinosaurs are now to be called Jesus Horses."

Man, I just giggled again writing it.

Anyway, that's funny.

This HuffPo thing? Not funny. Except, I guess, for the (CONTENT WARNING) Klimt thing at the bottom, which Allah thinks is pretty funny, I guess, as he mentions it.

Via Hot Air. Thanks for the tip to shawn... kind of.

I don't even think I get the prawn/sushi joke. What is trying to be said there, exactly?
