DAILY SHOW FOR THE 6000000% WIN. AGAIN.

Why won't FOXNews just go away?
Foxy truth.

It's fucking frightening the level of pure ignorance, division, fact distortion, "truthiness" and hate that this channel promotes as unbiased news.

The real world.

The Daily Show picked an easy piece of Foxy propaganda to make fun of - easy given that it's so ludicrous. That's the point I guess. But why is this junk being broadcast in the 1st place? They know full well how damaging and completely untrue such "news" is. Yet it persists, 24/7. One phone call. One. Or 5 minutes on the interwebs and the answer to this particular piece of insanity is laid bare. And I believe most Foxy Facts fall into this realm of willfully distributed faux truths.

I know this is nothing new. But it still amazes me on a day to day basis that it can actually exist and that some folks really believe this complete shit. It hurts my mind. Anyways, Stewart and friends made it a fun as they applied Fox's own corrosive logic onto itself.

FURTHER FLORIDA DONG PROOF

If you travel to Florida's Capital, you'll find the lovely Capitol Building. It is shown here. How fitting that the most dongtastic state in the US is governed from an equally dong-like building which at one point was run by a complete and total dong.


This was brought o my attention via The Bugle, a wonderfully Britishy podcast you can find here or in iTunes. It features John Oliver in the US and Andy Zaltzman in the UK. I dunno, John Oliver can do no wrong in my eyes. He's got a crazy impish quality about him and is always Daily Show gold. His co-talker dude can spew the most amazing paragraphs of well thought out BS, which often seem for a mere moment like it may actually be true, but certainly isn't - that it hurts the brain. In conclusion, fuck Florida.
