silly humor - post 'em here! [warning some NSFW and adult content]
Renegade:
^^ I'd posted that here:
https://www.donationcoder.com/forum/index.php?topic=35542.0
But, really, when you actually think about some of these news stories, most of them would be very much at home in this humour thread.
For example, a couple headlines that I'll make up for real events:
* Feeding people now illegal
* Having roof over your head now law - Law breakers given free roof over head in prison
While I made up the headlines, those are very real events. It's just one WTF moment after another.

^^ @Renegade: Uh, thanks. I hadn't seen your post of that.
Regarding the other silliness you mention, it is amusing yes, but I suspect that you are just pointing out the emerging progressivism in the US. Is there a "progressive" party in US politics? (I have no idea.) "Progressive" in politics seems to be a de facto and inarguably "good thing", though apparently to the stupid and unenlightened it may often seem to be a euphemism for "going backwards".
Some people (not me you understand) might suggest that students of modern history could look at what you were pointing out and compare it to a potential parallel in the form of the original and self-described "progressive" party - the National Socialist German Workers' Party, but I couldn't possibly comment - though I have met a lot of people whose parents/grandparents had apparently all been staunch members of that party, so it must have been pretty popular at one time.

Yes. It's terribly difficult to understand how some cretins don't see the beauty and order in things like this:
