America is in a crisis

[EyeMWing]

We need to begin censoring humorous faux-news outlets such as The Onion. People are beginning to take them seriously because they can't wrap their thick skulls around it. Alternatively, we could institute a licensing program that allows responsible, intelligent individuals access to humorous and satirical materials.

An example - where not one, but TWO people had to have the entire concept explained to them.

Yep lets just do that since you think so. :roll:


America is always a free country until a moron comes and decides that there's too much freedom and decides to censor free expression.

They do the same thing on the Tonight Show and other comedy programs. I'm sure that somewhere on the site they have a disclosure of what kind of site it is.

My beef is not with the content providers - my beef is with the morons. Thereby - we should be killing them.
