Quite possibly the most unfunny thing I've ever seen anywhere. They seem to think there's not enough satirical fodder in this time and place, so they up and conceived a new one.
Huh?

Then the people on that board are smoking MAAAD amounts of rock.
I'll admit they're mostly eeking out singles and doubles instead of hitting home runs like they used to on a consistent basis, but who the fuck decided that this was a good idea and green lighted this flaming turd?

You know it's quite hard to be consistantly brilliant forever. Cut them some slack huh?

Not every joke hit my funny bone but it's still much better than 90% of stuff on the net. They have had old timey front pages before so I don't know why you''re so down on an in-the-future edition.

You'd think by 2056 they'd be able to code for Firefox properly.

I usually only pay attention to the little headlines on the right. The other day one was something like "Plan to Trap Boyfriend Aborted."
