Is this a hoax?
It’s got to be a hoax right?

It’s got to be a hoax since the other stories just below it are about Obama is running for a third term and he’s both gay and Muslim.
That’s a satire site. It’s trying to look like the NBC website, but really just look at anything else written there, click on any other link or read the disclaimer at the bottom.
Yeah I thought so. Unfortunately my attention was focused on the main story, not the side headlines.
Why would someone do something so heartless and cruel? :smack:
The only cruelty would be if it were true.
It’s new type of humour site. One which isn’t in the slightest bit funny, and pretends to, completely straightly, tell incorrect news. Sounds more like a shit news site to me, personally…
I thought when they split Season 5 up into two parts almost a year apart, they started calling the second part “Season 6”?
Who did?
Amazon, for one. The last 8 episodes were called “Season 6” on my Wii’s Amazon Prime Video app.
And now NBC is going after it. I hope NBC wins. Parody should be protected, but sites like this aren’t parody, they are just using fraud in an attempt to get clicks.
It’s quite honestly the most bafflingly unfunny Internet humor I’ve ever seen.
For about five hundred words it’s an absolutely straight, completely joke-free but entirely false news story. And then suddenly it introduces “Fappy the Anti-Masturbation Dolphin” as a new Breaking Bad character, played by a weirdly naive Christian actor. So… I guess that’s a joke. But how it is a joke? In what way does it relate to “Breaking Bad,” Vince Gilligan, or the general concept of shows being brought back from cancellation?
I’m mildly surprised the people who wrote this know how to turn a computer on. It’s that bad.
I know that I’ve seen at least one “humor” article about “Fappy the Anti-Masturbation Dolphin” before, and I think it was on a different “humor” website. It was something about the organization that took Fappy around to different places to give talks to kids. So it’s either an in-joke, or just the laziest “humor” ever.
The point isn’t to make you laugh. The point is to get you to click and generate ad revenue. They stick a joke at the end as a way of covering their asses. That way, if they get sued, they can hide behind the Satire defence.
Two out of three ain’t bad.
