I think if you tell a joke that lots of people get, except a group which takes it very seriously but should certainly know better - yes, it adds to the hilarity.
We’ve now hit recursive pointing and laughing. Now it is socially correct to laugh at the people laughing at others. Expect lots of blogging about how the Onion sucks and so forth nowadays as everyone jumps onto the bandwagon alongside those with actual beef and decide they’ve always been as loud as they have. I give it about a week until it hits another recursion.
Then you’re as big an idiot as Ravenman. There isn’t any “current affairs” insight here. I didn’t offer any about anything.
But I do have a sense of humor, which the two of you apparently lack. And this article (and video) by The Onion was funny and it was funny that the Capitol Police felt compelled to respond seriously to it.
You know how you know it’s a joke? It’s a story on a joke website.
You *do *admit to falsely makeing the Capitol Police out to be “suckered”, when they were **probably **just responding to people who thought the threat was real?
You do admit to poor spelling skills and even poorer “gotcha” skills when trying to respond to people in the thread who weren’t talking to you in the first place? And have you stopped selling drugs to orphans while dressed as a clown yet?
The difference between you and me is that I can admit to making a lame original posts. I have before. I just wanted to flat out ask you about your OP to see if you were the type of person who can acknowledge their missteps.
Not nearly as lame as a douchebag like you (and My FootZZZ and Ravenman, etc.) posting in a thread merely to try and pick a fight because someone saw fit to express that their funny bone was tickled.
I’m not sure there’s a scale to cover how lame that is.
Keep guessing. And keep trying to learn how to use the spell checker; you’re bound to get the hang of it someday. In fact, I’ll bet you get the hang of that before you get a sense of humor! Good luck!
Your funny bone was tickled because you find bright, shiny objects intoxicating.
The police get inquiries on a bogus story, and issue a press release saying the story is bogus. Then you laugh. This is like an eight year old screaming “Hurr-hurr made u look! lol!”
Please note that no kids were actually taken hostage. No gunshots rang out in the Capitol building. So you were startled, upset, and worried until the other shoe dropped. Oh well. You’ll get over it.
