Category: Carnival of Satire

Welcome to this politics-free edition of the Carnival of Satire. This week’s carnival also features many new voices to our weekly festival of irony. We hope you enjoy it!

Bad news if you’re mantra includes an Om┞¢. YogaDawg has just learned that it has been Trademarked.

Gabe Recchia has the only post that comes close to politics this week, in: This is every negative campaign ad ever.

We enjoy books. We also like well-designed books (Thag especially likes books with soft, creamy paper.) We even enjoy bad book covers. Particularly with funny commentary, such as this one about Chewbacca, and this Penguin classic.

Daniel Brenton has some disturbing testimony on the UFO front, in an edition of his Round Files.

The Soft Rant lives up to its name admirably, with Dance Team Remixes Lead To ADHD and Eating Disorders.

General Kang was outraged that Mad Kane’s Humor Blog has produced its own Gift Giving Guide. He should just relax and admit that its all an homage to Dave Barry.

While shopping, you might take Surfer Sam and Friends up on a few suggestions for how to make it more fun. Or at least chaotic.

Happy Yanksgiving to everyone south of the (CAN-US) border. If we were giving thanks today, it would be for all this fine collection of satire:

Fans of House (the doctor show) and those bewildered by literary theory will both enjoy The Little Professor’s short teleplay: LP in the House. Thanks to Ahistoricality for suggesting this spoof, which may leave you a tremulous wisp with laughter.

Jake Danger is tired of being persecuted and has set up the Society for the Prevention of Mathematical Intolerance.

Mr. Juggles is interested to know How successful has Domino’s been in bringing pooplets to market?

Madeleine Begun Kane has contractual (and seasonal) parody with Office Party Follies.

Tra La La has learned all about the Titanic sequel, which you will have to see to believe:

Satire is a harsh mistress, but generally, you enjoy that sort of thing, right? Prepare to be chastised with this, the fifty-fifth edition of The Carnival of Satire.

Jon Swift has penned another gem. Unfortunately, he hasn’t posted it yet, and instead beats us with this delicious whip: Save Britney’s Marriage.

Speaking of gems, Ahistoricality has mined a brilliant website that is a massive satire unto itself, and features this news item: WTO Announces Formalized Slavery Model for Africa.

In a similar mode, this is not technically a blog, but still damned funny satire on what would happen if some proverbs were true.

Back to the blogs, and gentle reader, you’d better strap on some Depends because Miriam has discovered The upside of burkas.

John at Hell’s Handmaiden suggests that when it comes to Bird Flu you should have No worries. Of course, he’s not even factoring in Kang’s Corollary.
