Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Oh, as usual, dear. The Onion has to explain satire.

I don't know. I like The Onion, but that first tweet? What makes it satire? All by itself, what makes it qualify as satire? What is it satirizing?
I get that they said it was connected to an article of theirs, but...that first tweet was kind of a dick move. The ones about Congressmen taking kids hostage -- that's OTT enough that it's funny.

I don`t find it too funny but that first tweet wa definitely a dick move.

You make it OTT enough, and people get that you're trying to make a joke. But the first tweet was pretty damn generic, you know? And even people/publications that claim to be satirists do occasionally communicate things that are meant to be taken as truth.

Ann, that's a ferret.
Yeah, that first tweet with nothing else practically begs the reader to freak out, especially with all the terrorism consciousness that's been drilled into America over the last 10 years. Maybe if they'd reversed the order of the first two tweets -- maybe.

My sleep psych took a few minutes to write down krav maga. Now, it's eight letters, and I enunciate well.
You know, it occurs to me I don't know how to pronounce krav maga.
My roommate who did it pronounced it with "ah" sounds, and emphasis on the last syllable: krahv mahGAH. Is that right?

I guess I'm a little oversensitive on people taking The Onion seriously - had another go 'round with the girl in my office who seems to think it's a serious news source. She can't figure out why I won't post their stories on our website.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Raq, I think it's closer to kruhv m'GAH. That penultimate "a" is totally swallowed.
