The Carnival of Satire (#28)

The Carnival of SatireHaving seen what can happen when you drift away from your mission (the debacle of the Carnival of the Vanities this week, for example) we have tried to keep to our goals by presenting only satire. Okay, a few posts are more satirical than actual satire, but we think we can make an argument for what’s included this week lively round-up. At any rate, we hope you will enjoy this week’s submissions:

We start with a beautiful parody; English professor jokes dressed up in the form of an episode of Law and Order: Special Academic Unit (many thanks to Ahistoricality for finding this!)

Dr. Tundra has kudos for Buckley F. Williams at The Nose On Your Face, who had to alert the CDC when he discovered that Syphilis caught a bad case of Paris Hilton.

Chris Alexion at Welcome to the Fallout has a fake news story for you, English: EPA To Crack Down on Amish Emissions.

Ahistoricality also found this gem: “Symmetrical Pubic Hair Results in Good Behavior Days? Please. You’re Spoiling Me, Sire!” posted in Frankie Can’t Relax.

Amanuensis continues to let us know how the first inter-species marriage is going in Honeymoon interrupted by summit.

While on the subject of history, Mensa Barbie at Mensa Barbie Welcomes You unveils the truth behind the masterpiece in The Oil Lift of Isabella d’ Este .
