Forcing Comedians Out Of Work
Wait, I need to get my Kleenex. There. Hat tip to Moonbattery for the link to Wm. M. Briggs, Statistician (which is going on my blogroll), particularly this: An unfortunate loss of a good joke: leftist thinking finally overtakes math parody.
This is not the first time that reality has overtaken parody (here is one small example), but the rate at which it is doing so is beginning to exceed the rate at which comedians can create new jokes. And, it should be obvious, if comedians cannot write funny satirical material quickly enough, they will be out of work and forced into collecting unemployment, further burdening the welfare system. Therefore, I propose a law banning all new social behavior that overlaps with any prior-produced satire, unless that said behavior is itself unintentionally hilarious.
Go read the whole thing. And peruse the blog while you’re there.
