People read FR for information and analysis and opinion. I don’t see how fooling readers can give you your jollies. I’m generally relieved to find the story to not be true, and then am annoyed at having my time wasted and emotions manipulated. Something like a kid ringing a doorbell and running away. Puerile.

Then comes the commissioning of the SS Øbozo - the only warship armed with prevarications.

Please, tell me this is a joke.

Didn’t Jim Robinson ask us to put “Satire” on the titles of these?

I would think her ship would be the first in the “Department of Peace”. I can envision it trailing flower petals across the pacific.

Sling shots made from used condoms, bows and arrows and rock launching spring boards are not what I would call armed.

But then again I wouldn't name a ship of war after a .....

I’m glad you told me it was satire;...

This article is satire? Could have fooled me, seemed pretty factual to me.

I could explain, but probably not to you.

Oh please. The first post said it was satire. And it was funny.

The time you wasted was writing the complaint, and using the word Puerile.

When you say dumbing down do you mean because the mods make you add a satire tag to the headline?
