Man Watches ‘V for Vendetta’ To Experience Complete Fantasy About a Person Who Does Something Against Fascism

Posted on by Trevor Graham

TEANECK, N.J. — Local man Derek Logan watched the 2005 film “V for Vendetta” to experience the completely fictional story of what it would be like for one person to actually do something against a fascist government, local sources who do not remember the fifth of November confirmed.

“There’s so much going on in the world that I just want to sit back and immerse myself in a fantasy setting where someone takes actual action to fight back against an authoritarian state. What a nice escape from reality it is,” said Logan. “I mean, yes, I like the part where we find out the main character is basically a super soldier because of some experiment gone wrong, blah, blah, blah. But to me the real fiction is that he uses his powers and resources to stop a system run by tyrants. Must be nice.”

Logan’s girlfriend says that although he has mostly been into sci-fi and fantasy genres, he is looking for a new escape in the media he consumes.

“He’s always been into all those sci-fi space movies and also anything with wizards or dragons. But now he says all those types of movies seem to be believable now and that he wants to watch something that is completely unrealistic, like someone resisting authoritarianism,” said Dara Williams. “He recently watched a documentary on the French Resistance during WWII, and he kept saying how it should’ve won for best fictional screenplay. I kept explaining how it was all actually true, but he just wouldn’t believe me and just said, ‘There’s no way anyone would ever do something like this in real life.’”

Movie critic Harold Brentwood says that some motion pictures like “V for Vendetta” can be a source of catharsis.

“Some people find films that have a protagonist who does literally anything to battle against overwhelming forces of dictatorship to be a cathartic release from the realities of modern life,” said Brentwood. “I think it’s important for the entertainment industry to continue producing new stories of brave people who make even the smallest effort to combat global fascism. The challenge will be for these stories to have some grounding in reality, though, despite how momentously far they are from actual life.”

At press time, Logan was seen watching international news, thinking it was a new fictional series where world leaders from other countries can actually be women.

9 Dogs I Genuinely Think Should Have More Rights Than Michael Rapaport

Posted on by Violet Meeker

Reeking of dark energy and with a skin tone I can only describe as “Libertarian,” Michael Rappaport has unfortunately made a resurgence in the past few years. Whether you hate him from a brain-melting manosphere podcast, one of his social media rants on Israel, or simply saw 30 seconds of him on The Traitors, we can all agree the man should be stripped of his rights and autonomy. Let’s get right into it. Here are 9 dogs I genuinely think should have more rights than Michael Rapaport: 

1. My dog: Let’s start with the basics. A perfect mix of chihuahua and Jack Russell Terrier. She has one eye and two extra toes. She also has object permanence, which I will not speak further on nor accept comments about. The point here is, she’s a gorgeous and profoundly smart girl. Michael Rapaport is, at best, a disgusting & demonic zionist. You tell me who you’d rather allow to vote in the next election.

2. Aloka, The North Carolina Peace Dog: She belongs to a group of Buddhist Monks. Need I say more? 

3. Wasabi: A Pekingese who won the 2021 Westminster Dog Show. That is what peak manhood should look like. Smart as a whipper snapper and a performer in all senses of the word, Wasabi could woo even the grumpiest of characters. Let’s just say, he could do Deep Blue Sea, but Michael Rappaport could never do Westminster.

4. Balto (Posthumous): Balto did more with one paw in one week than Michael Rapaport has done with his whole body his entire life. That’s all.

5. Glen Powell’s Dog, Brisket: Hear me out. Yes, Glen Powell strongly resembles a capybara, and sometimes that can be scary. As untrue as it sounds, he is not a capybara demon, and he cannot hurt you. He is, though, the owner of a beautiful little mutt that looks like a miniature Falkor from Never Ending Story. Michael Rappaport looks like a miniature giant that, when it shrunk down to human size, its skin didn’t quite land right, and sometimes it’s like he has a mask on. That’s even scarier than a capybara-man hybrid.

6. Huntsville’s Famous Cosmo: Instead of turning to Puxatawney Phil for all the answers, Huntsville, Alabama, residents rely on Cosmo to predict the weather forecast for the weeks ahead via 2 dog bowls. He’s a pillar of the community and has been serving in his role for almost 5 years. Michael Rappaport is a pillar — A pillar of smoke that goes up the ass of homophobic zionist nut jobs just so he can stay relevant. 

7. Gromit: I told myself I wouldn’t do cartoon dogs.  It’s sort of an unfair comparison…but life is unfair. Isn’t it, Michael Rapaport? To be completely honest, the fact that Gromit isn’t on a coin, but Rapaport is on the Traitors, is proof that the equilibrium of light and dark within our universe is off kilter.

8. Bluey: Bluey doesn’t count as a cartoon because he is also a mover and a shaker. An activist in the form of a cartoon dog, if you will. I think if you said the word ‘activism’ to Michael Rapaport on the right day, he would just hemorrhage and bleed out internally. Or at least, here’s hoping! 

9. This random chihuahua my friend sent me a video of on Instagram reels: No, I don’t know its government name. That doesn’t stop me from knowing that the world would be a safer place if said dog had the right to carry rather than Michael Rappaport.

Band Touring Through Oregon Loses Member to Dysentery

Posted on by Harley Murgatroyd

OREGON CITY, Ore. — Florida band The Schticks reportedly lost their bass player Lars “Puke Boy” Barkerton to dysentery while touring from Missouri to Oregon, confirmed sources.

“We’ve been on the road for a few weeks now and I just thought the guy was super stinky and gassy, like, even on a good day this guy was shitting his pants. We certainly didn’t call him Puke Boy for nothing,” grieving bandmate Fatima Singh stated. ”It’s fair to say that the third river crossing was simply too much for him or maybe it was a combination of malnutrition from a steady diet of ramen cooked in venue bathroom sinks. I just would have assumed the amount of straight whiskey he consumed every night would have killed any kind of gut bacteria.”

The impact of such a loss came to a shock to all the members including their roadie who has seen plenty of disasters working with bands on the road.

“I’ve toured through almost every landlocked state in America, and this loss hits hard,” veteran roadie Jody Parker stated. “Aside from this tragedy, I kept telling Puke Boy to stop shooting and killing every animal he found at rest stops. He kept saying he was going to eat them but we couldn’t handle the additional load! As a vegan, his death kinda feels like karma, but it is certainly still sad as hell. Honestly, this is even worse than the time I toured with folk punk band The Scumrats and we lost three of seven members to Big D and the Kids Table. Don’t they already have enough members?!”

Historians have long documented the dangers of touring through Oregon.

“It’s not uncommon to see these types of losses. It’s like these punks don’t understand the extreme difference between pioneering music versus pioneering land,” explained historian Dr. Carla Martina. “You can’t just show up and colonize new music scenes without factoring in the hazards, such as broken limbs, venomous critters, and completely preventable bacterial infections. Musicians and teachers seem to share the inability to handle the Oregon trail as well as, say, a banker would. Sorry, I will not elaborate on this historically authentic fact.”The Schticks were last observed returning to the ER for a snakebite the drummer received while loading gear in the back of the van.

Trump Fires Noem, Nominates Markwayne Mullin To Fuck Corey Lewandowski on Luxury Jets

Posted on by Dan Rice

WASHINGTON — President Trump will be firing Secretary of Homeland Security and nominating Oklahoma Senator Markwayne Mullin to take over all of her duties, including having sex with advisor Corey Lewandowski on taxpayer-funded luxury jets, according to a surprise post on his Truth Social account earlier today. 

“It saddens me to say that Kristi Noem has proven to be an ineffective head of the DHS,” said Trump. “She has misappropriated funds, she’s botched PR disaster after PR disaster, and worst yet, I have it on good authority that she is an extremely selfish lover. This country deserves a Homeland Security secretary who can handle the responsibilities and stresses of the position while providing Corey with the tender, attentive love-making he so desperately needs. Lord knows he’s not getting it at home. The taxpayers of this country can rest easy knowing that the mile-high sexual exploits they fund will be extremely gratifying to both participants going forward.” 

At press time, Mullin was reportedly psyching himself up for initiation by pacing his office and chanting “It’s just a dog” over and over again. 

This is a breaking story, and we’ll have more as it develops.

9 Tax Prep Tips That Will Drive Your Seasonal Depression Into a Place Beyond Repair

Posted on by Violet Meeker

This year’s tax season is tapping you on the shoulder whilst you live through not just December, but also the detrimental impacts of global warming AND world war three. The devil calls that a triple threat! Since it looks like that depression is going to stick around anyway, you might as well fork over all your spending money to the government so they can keep working on their little projects. That being said, let’s rip off the band-aid and go over a few tax prep tips that will drive your seasonal depression into a place beyond repair: 

  1. Make sure to submit both your federal and state W-4 so that you can continue to be squeezed dry on every paycheck until you retire. Oh, wait, silly! Social Security is going to run out by 2032, so go ahead and prepare to work for the rest of your life.
  1. If you need to fill out a W-9, just remember that you’ll never benefit from taxes while under a fascist state. It’s simply not possible!
  2. Organize your receipts so you can see all the mistakes you made this year. Maybe even reflect on if that super sick chrome air fryer was worth it. You could always try hunting down everyone you bummed a smoke to in 2025 and see if they’ll write you receipts.
  3. Make a spending tracker for the following year — Or don’t! Your money isn’t really yours anyway. The government has been tracking you since you were born and they’re watching you spiral as we speak!
  4. To get a tax extension, contact the IRS at least 23-70 years before filing so that they can be ready by next tax season. Or maybe the one after that. Or the one after that one.
  5. Keep track of your loans. Doing so can help remind you that you entered this world free and you will die owing the government. Just as God intended.
  6. Research where your taxes are going — Not only will it piss you off, it’ll also make you sad! You’re killing kids in other countries, and you have no say in the matter. Yay futility and hopelessness! 
  7. Double-check your Social Security number. Around 1 billion people were victims of data breaches in 2025 alone. If you’re lucky, you could have a credit card you don’t even know about!
  8. Do your taxes early. If you’re already a cog in the machine, you may as well offer up your shekels in a timely manner.

Follow these tips, and you’ll be settled up with Uncle Sam in no time, no matter how deep into the sunken place you’ve fallen! And if you’re having thoughts of self-harm, remember, that’s never the answer. If you’re not around next year, whose going to pay your taxes?!

Five Underrated Death Metal Albums You Might as Well Discuss in This Job Interview Since They’re Clearly Not Going To Hire You

Posted on by Steve Packosky

Oh shit, this interview is not going well. As soon as this guy used the phrase “income statement”, you knew your decision to embellish your resume was coming back to bite you in the ass. In your defense, though, having watched the first season of “Industry” is kind of the same as having an economics degree from Northwestern, so you basically didn’t lie at all. Whatever. He’s clearly not going to make you an offer, so why not talk about these five underrated old-school death metal albums?

  1. Deteriorate – Rotting in Hell (1993)

These Philly maniacs deliver one hell of a gem filled with sick-ass Deicide worship, but your interviewer (what was his name? Oh yeah, Nathan) doesn’t seem like he’s heard it. Furthermore, he doesn’t seem the slightest bit interested. Even a little aggravated. Whoops.

  1. Necrosanct – Incarnate (1992)

What was this job title called, anyway? Financial Systems Analyst? That sounds right. What does that even mean? It probably has nothing to do with Necrosanct, which fucking sucks because this album sounds a lot like Bolt Thrower’s “Realm of Chaos”. Nathan is furrowing his brow as you’re talking about this. Better throw in an impressive-sounding finance word. Try “currency”. That’ll do it. You might get this job after all.

  1. Blackthorn – The Rotten Ways of Human Misery (1993)

This album should be much more well-known than it is. It’s like Mexico’s answer to Obituary. Nathan looks like he plays golf and listens to 3 Doors Down, though, so you might as well not even mention that. Actually, fuck it. Go ahead. Who even cares at this point?

  1. Mordicus – Dances From Left (1993)

Ugh, he just flat-out said he’s not going to hire you. Not only that, they’re going to stop working with the recruiter who set up this interview. Still, no real harm in mentioning that this Finnish LP sounds just like an early Entombed or Dismember album. Nathan might dig the cover, at least. Maybe he’s into freaky shit.

  1. Ceremony – Tyranny From Above (1993)

OK, he just called security on you. You might’ve been able to say that death metal’s strange but stellar quality is an allegory for you in this job consideration. Damnit, you really should’ve led with that. Oh well. Maybe save it for the interview you have next week for that aerospace engineering position.

MAGA Releases Anti-Woke Mad Libs With All Pronouns Replaced by Racial Slurs

Posted on by Jennifer Donovan

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — Local MAGA Republican Richard Goiter released a new conservative version of Mad Libs where all pronouns have been replaced by racial slurs, confirmed eye-rolling sources. 

“This is all an effort to own the Mad Libs,” an impassioned Goiter explained. “Every year another racial slur is lost to political correctness and I hate to see our language and our culture being erased. I want future generations to not only know these slurs, but know who to use them against. We are talking about words that came over on the Mayflower. Words that have been used throughout history by great American patriots from Christopher Columbus to Hulk Hogan. Do you know what happens after I inhale three cans of computer duster and scratch a big beautiful slur onto a bathroom stall? The next day, poof. It’s gone. Someone will paint over it. What happened to free speech?”

Insurrectionist Eric Graham was first in line to purchase seven copies of the game. 

“Hell yeah! Trump forever! I can’t wait to see those Mad Libs cry over this one! They want us to use pronouns? There’s no way we will ever do that. I won’t, she won’t, he won’t,” a riled up Graham stated. “What makes this game so fun is that it isn’t WOKE at all. It’s not for crybabies that are sensitive about everything. Fathers passing down racial slurs to their sons is a right of passage. We aren’t gonna let the liberal elite prevent hardworking Americans like me from doing that. That’s why I want to give a copy to my son Ryfle, but some liberal judge said I’m not allowed to have contact with him just because I punched his mom repeatedly in the head when she said Trump was a pedo.”

Local English teacher Meredith York took issue with the changes made by Goiter to what she felt was already a fun, educational game. 

“It’s just absurd to think pronouns are somehow ‘woke.’ Pronouns are essential parts of speech just like adjectives and verbs. I consider myself a moderate and as long as a state-appointed genitalia checker has confirmed that the pronouns match the goods, we should be free to use them. As for the racial slurs, I think it’s a bit crass to put them in a game like that. When I was young we said these words quietly and later denied it. That’s what we need to get back to, expressing our racism with plausible deniability.”

At the time of print, Goiter decided to donate his profits to Christians Against Literacy, an organization that strives to bring children back to church by limiting their education and closing all doors that don’t lead them to Jesus.

Prodigy Punk Toddler Can Already Count to 1, 2, 1 2 3 4

Posted on by Anna Walsh

SEATTLE — Local toddler Piper Huga brought pre-k class to a halt this week after counting to 2 then 4 with a very specific rhythm, sources regularly reported by the school for vagrancy confirmed.

“We’re shocked that Piper knew not only the numbers 1 through 4, but the rhythm in which to say them. We play a bunch of Bad Religion because we thought the big words would do a lot of the heavy lifting for us, so imagine our surprise when Ramones-style numbers came out of her mouth,” parent Cory Huga gushed while pouring apple juice into an empty beer can for his daughter’s afternoon snack. “We thought we’d have to homeschool due to the government’s full propagandization of the public education system, but at this point she knows more than we could ever teach. We’re just going to have to let her join a band and see where this crazy world takes her.” 

Mike Socci, school music teacher and bassist in local metal band Pentagrandma’s Ashes, downplayed the excitement around the toddler’s new vocalization.

“She has a long way to go to earn the type of cred I’ve built in the scene. Sure, I still can’t join right on the 4, and sometimes our drummer only counts to 3, but we’ve paid our dues. Everyone is praising natural born talent over the hard work of practicing a few hours a month and having really loud amps,” Socci complained through puffs of a Juicy Fruit-flavored vape while supervising recess. “I’m sure she thinks being young will give her an edge, but I still have to grease some palms to get into most of the venues around here, so it’s safe to assume they’re all ages 50 and up.” 

Fellow classmate Hunter Green seemed confused when asked about the prodigy. 

“She’s always yelling out these numbers even when we’re supposed to be quiet coyotes. She scares me more than Mayor Humdinger from PawPatrol,” Green explained through babbles. “And she only wears black, so we had to learn a whole new color that isn’t even on the rainbow. I’m just glad I can’t read whatever the patches on her leather jacket say.”

At the time of publication, the four-year-old prodigy was seen bashing through a wall of toy blocks screaming, “It’s time to kick out the jams!”

Ten Easiest Conservative Actors To Boycott Because They’re Already Out of Work

Posted on by Ben Friedman

Let’s be real, separating ‘art from artist’ is a mental cop out where you can ignore all the shitty things your favorite entertainers have said and done in exchange for not feeling guilty about consuming their work. But disowning your favorite movies and shows is easier said than done, even if one of the principal actors came out as a raging bigot or believed the people who stormed the Capitol on January 6th are heroes.

But if you need to feel less guilty about rewatching ‘Home Improvement’ and ‘Lethal Weapon’, we’ve compiled a list of the ten conservative actors you can easily boycott because they’re already terminally unemployed.

Rob Schneider

Once upon a time, he was effortlessly stealing scenes in our favorite Adam Sandler movies (and Surf Ninjas). Nowadays he’s… wait, what is he up to again? We stopped paying attention after he fully capitulated to Trump and made his entire stand-up act about “woke”. For his sake, those Deuce Bigelow residuals better still be trickling in.

Kevin Sorbo

Gun to your head, name one thing Kevin Sorbo’s done after “Hercules” that wasn’t “God’s Not Dead”. Whoops, now you’re dead! Unless you consider bitching about nobody hiring you because of views which amount to Christian nationalism as a job, it doesn’t look like his IMBD page is going to get any bigger.

Jon Voight

Angelina Jolie was ahead of the curve going no contact with her father. Despite Trump naming him part of a special envoy to Hollywood alongside the wildly more successful (but still douchey) Sylvester Stallone and Mel Gibson, the only thing he’s starred in recently was Francis Ford Coppola’s stunning trainwreck “Megalopolis”, which we’re pretty sure is more embarrassing than any of his actual political views.

Dean Cain

It’s easy to dunk on the one-off Superman, which is why he’s included on this list! Last time we saw old Deano, he was struggling through an ICE training obstacle course in what we assume was some kind of humiliation ritual. Perhaps if more low-budget, Christian nationalist funded films roll out in the next few years, he can star in and be ignored in at least two of them.

Kirk Cameron

What do you think is worse: being a former teen star watching the internet dunk on you for being an embarrassing culture warrior wannabe, or watching your former teen star sister spew the same alt-right bullshit but still land a 200-picture deal with Hallmark Channel? Kirk always had the smug sense of superiority about him, but unlike Hollywood A-listers, he never had the talent to back it up. Maybe he can make another movie about himself saving another Holiday, like Flag Day.

Scott Baio

Scott Baio’s downfall was predestined from the start when he had to play second banana to Henry Winkler and Ron Howard at the same time. The last role he played was “Trump Supporter” in “The Most Famous Person the Trump Campaign Could Get to Show Up at a Rally”. That alone is worth six of seven shark jumps.

Randy Quaid

Yes, the very star of “Christmas Vacation 2: Cousin Eddie’s Island Adventure”, but also the star of “Kingpin”, which is hands down one of the best comedies of all time, making this a painful addition to the list. But such is life when you’re the ugly Quaid brother whose movies go straight to DVD. We don’t make the rules.

Rosanne Barr

How badly do you have to fuck up to get killed off your own show that’s also named after you? Rosanne has never been a stranger to controversy, but she could’ve avoided making the list if she were actually funny. Making the same pronoun jokes might do well on the MAGA circuit, but those folks have very limited attention spans.

Victoria Jackson

Okay, what the hell was in the water at 30 Rock during SNL’s early 90’s run? Unlike many of her co-stars who went on to movie stardom, we don’t recognize a single movie she’s been in from the last 20 years and likely won’t for the next 20, unless Weird Al decides to make a sequel to “UHF”. Alas, we’ll always have her impersonation of Sally Struthers.

Zachary Levi

We have to hand it to Zach; rarely has there ever been an actor who torpedoed their own career as fantastically as he. He made a big stink about getting cancelled over his support for Trump, but maybe someone can explain to him that people are allowed to vote with their wallets, which is why no one was clamoring to see “Harold and the Purple Crayon”.

Study Shows 85% of Americans Would Drink Kerosene if the Word ‘Prebiotic’ Was on the Label

Posted on by Steve Packosky

STANFORD, Calif. — A psychological study at Stanford University found that 85% of participants would willingly drink kerosene if the word “prebiotic” was included on the label, sources report.

“These findings were both alarming and disconcerting,” head researcher Kayleigh Brumfeldt said. “Of the 20 individuals we tested, 17 willingly drank from kerosene bottles, that were thankfully filled with water, after we added a label claiming the product contained prebiotics. It should also be noted that we believe the other three only refrained from consuming the contents because they were illiterate. We were already aware that Americans don’t demonstrate the capacity to think when it comes to what they put in their bodies, but we did not know the extent to which they’re willing to defile themselves because of a label that contains a word they don’t know the definition of.”

Participant Ben Reifert reflected on his experience with the study.

“I’m pretty sure kerosene is something I shouldn’t drink,” Reifert admitted. “But aren’t prebiotics really good for you? Or is that probiotics? Or are both of them beneficial? Do I need to consume just one of them or both of them to be healthy? All I know is that I started drinking five cans of Poppi a day because they have prebiotics, but I don’t know if I should be doing more than that. I eat a lot of Takis. Do those have prebiotics in them? Maybe only the blue ones do, because I’m pretty sure blue is healthy for you. I should go back in there and drink some more of that kerosene just to be on the safe side.”

Nutritionist Farzana Mukherjee was not surprised by the study’s findings.

“American consumers have to be the most ill-informed people on the planet,” Mukherjee sighed. “In lieu of education, we’ve resorted to just assuming food products are healthy because the companies themselves proclaim them as such. How else would you explain the entire nation thinking Subway is healthy just because some pedophile claimed to have lost weight from eating their food? Or people believing that consuming Gatorade’s processed sugar water is somehow a necessary part of exercise? I’m seriously considering a career change, because it’s not like people are listening to my advice anyway.”

At press time, the same research team found that 90% of Americans would eat cat litter if the word “protein” was written on the label.
