Speaking of Bullets and Bullshit
The news is presented by the mainstream media aimed at deceiving America and the rest of the world into believing in a fantasy world where evil is good and good is evil. A world where if you can't find a kodak moment to prove your point, it's perfectly okay to make one up. After all, a picture is worth a thousand words, even a fake one.
They give us staged news complete with serial character actors, doctored photographs, pretend missile attacks, children's toys placed on smoking piles of rubble, and then, they gave us this:
The innocent iraqi woman holding the shiny bullets that evil American soldiers shot at her house, probably while she was having a wedding celebration or something. Except, they're not bullets, they're cartridges and it's just another bullshit made up story to badmouth America and her troops.
Yeah, we saw it and marked it as bullshit. And although it made us angry, still, we laughed. We laughed because it's so ridiculous that it's funny. Except... it's not really funny. It's not funny because there are people out there who are foolish and ignorant enough to believe the mainstream media and their made-up version of reality. And that's scary, not funny.
That said... if you want funny, click this:
That's not just funny, it's damn funny, and it's funny right through the credits until the screen goes blank. And its also one of the best bits of commentary on the subject ever, right up there with All Your Fakes are Belong to Us.
Hats off to you Dissident Frogman, that was hilarious. You made my day!
