TMNT uphold truthiness

Discuss.

WARNING: Article includes satirical parody.

That was niether satirical or paridoxity! That was perhaps the most unfunny Republican butt kissing I've ever heard!

I bet the next part is, Michalangelo works hard to pretend to care for the working class while Leonardo pushes for oil company tax cuts.

(Truth be told, I hate both sides, and posting political stuff here is a no-no).

haha I thought it was pretty funny. stupid but funny.

What the heck?

I looked up a few other things. That website is the unfunniest thing ever.

As a fan of the Colbert Report, I'm reading this stuff in that kind of "I think I know everything but I haven't a clue what I'm talking about" satirical tone. With that in mind, I think it's really funny.

I mean, look upo "truthiness" on that site! You'll understand what I'm getting at.

So, unless you just don't like (or have never seen) the Colbert Report, I don't understand how you can't like this.

Oh, and Drtooth, it's not really political stuff. It's a parody of political stuff... just like the Colbert Report.

Hard to tell it was a parody, since it wasn't that funny!

DWOAH HO HO HO!!!

Cascadia 06-12-2007 11:14 AM

So what you're saying is that you have problems perceiving attempts at humor even with obvious clues such as the logo of the website featuring a comedian's face and the articles are all required to have something to do with said comedian?

I think you need to go back to Clown College.

And for everyone else... "Grr! I take my TMNT way too seriously to realize that oftentimes parodies are a sign of the thing being parodied being really famous and well-known! Grr! I also don't realize that, unless what's being parodied did something to harm people that it's actually a sign of respect! Grr!"

[edit]I'm not going to edit away my response because I figure it's just stupid to take away what I've already done. However, at the time I wrote this I was kinda peeved about some other things and I just happened to vent in this post toward people and about things that aren't involved in any way. So, while the general opinion still holds true that I think that the article is a really funny parody of the TMNT and political stuff, I didn't mean to come off as such an ass when driving that opinion home.[/edit]

The discussion wasn't meant for political analysis. It's just a fan Wiki loosely based on Stephen Colbert's act. And for the record, a Turtle made a brief appearance on one episode, skating across the screen and saying random 80's-90's surfer slang.
