Who among us was not a confused and horny young man, left alone and unsupervised for a few hours, and allowed for a wandering mind…

My single favorite report was on this one.

Misleading title, it’s not clear this is a parody post.

For those that don’t know, it’s a parody.

It is obvious because of “couches”, but apart from that, it could have been 100% Fox “News”.

Making parodies in modern times is a difficult business. You make up a joke, just to see that reality just overtook you with the pedal to the metal.

It sucks that I was unsure at “unemployed minors,” because the party is overtly pro-child labor and that bad at optics.

Honestly the only thing that threw me off is taxes on couches. Otherwise I would’ve thought this was real

Nah I was completely ready to believe that Fox News would take a joke Walz made about couches (which I knew he did) and claim it was an assault on money and freedom.

Dang it. I hate seeing my state brought up in politics, which is often. And there’s my governor.

Soon to be was your governor.

It must feel like when everyone suddenly discovers the cool band you’ve listened to for years.

Sorry, I meant my Arkansas governor in the comments in Reddit celebrating child labor.

Did they just change the list? I’m not sure what to think if the title headline is accurate or not.

I’d say it’s innacurate.

TBH I reported it. I think the title should at least suggest its a parody, though I’m not sure if OP knows it is.

I feel like this will be shared uncritically by people who sincerely oppose women having “unsupervised female health decisions” et al.

Is that a real screen? Some of those seem mask off even by Fox’s standards.

Seriously, I wouldn’t be shocked if it was real. But it definitely looks fake. Especially with the couch bit.

Gotta think about it because the ‘right’ ‘wing’ is pretty weird and fox is a fire in a bin outside a Gregs in Rotherham but no, the couch fucker tax is a giveaway.
