Slog - Comments on (Continuing) Adventures in Right-Wing Wocka Wocka Wocka! http://slog.thestranger.com/2007/09/continuing_adventures_in_rightwing_wocka Now that Fox News' 1/2 Hour News Hour has been taken behind the studio and shot, which right-wing group will step up to the plate and provide the world with the conservative political comedy it so obviously needs? Ladies and gentleman, I present you with Newsbusters: (Via Oliver Willis.)...

Or better yet, that the whole thing is a poorly executed hoax...

Is this someone's college (or high school) media project? If not, there really is no excuse.

Am I right people? I mean, c'mon, fat people and black people, I mean, what gives?"

Not verbatim, but close enough.

Making a Ricky Martin is gay joke is grade a hilarity

That was a full presidential term and change ago, its time to come up with something new.

I think every single one of those jokes was in a 2 minute clip of the 1/2 Hour News Hour, and I'm sure I'd heard each and every one of them even before that. If they can't make fun of Hollywood, minorities, Michael Moore's weight, or the Clinton's marriage, what is left to them?

Hell, it is poorly written and the guy in this bit looks stoned. But then being stoned is probably the only way he could do it.

When the villain laughs, it's just mean.
