Juliana Forlano of ‘Absurdity Today’ takes us on a quick tour of news (or absurdity) today. Does your meat require regulation? Have you been held back by the inability to take ‘selfies’ underwater, while making a phone call…Well thank Sony! In the ‘Hands Across the Water’ segment, we help Oslo, Norway! This is quite a feat as they are ahead of us in every possible way. This time we help them maintain their waste-driven power plants with a healthy influx from Fox ‘News’ – yay us! We may not have health insurance, humane programs or culture, but we have sh*t to spare!
With every headline screaming about government intrusion (aka the Patriot Act) and Tea Party taxation ad nauseum, Juliana Forlano defines our common malady: Scandal Fatigue.
Got Scandal Fatigue?
Scandal Fatigue: n. A condition whereupon suffers “can’t F’ing BELIEVE these partisan, government and/or corporate media dickheads are crying victim to actions they themselves have been guilty of for the last 40 years and FLOODING the airwaves with this crap when there are REAL scandals out there to cover and actual work to be done.”
Sufferers of Scandal Fatigue often exhibit tell-tale symptoms such as the sudden uncontrollable urge to rant, publicly or by audibly grumbling to oneself; increased anxiety; and a strong desire to self-sooth by watching internet cat videos. In severe cases, suffers may start to believe the Meet The Press is a balanced national conversation. Seek immediate attention if Fox News starts sounding rational. In this case, immediate and ongoing action is necessary!
