Is parody finally dead?
It's been limping along overweight on a club foot with high cholesterol, type II diabetes and Lou Gehrig's disease for awhile now. Are any of the Onion's articles about the government or religion funny anymore except in that knowing I-thought-of-that-two-weeks-ago kind of way? Is it possible to tell George Bush's "peeance freeance secure Iraq" statements from SNL or Al Franken satires of the same?
Thanks to Falwell, Dobson et al. we don't even know which cartoon characters are promoting a hidden gay agenda. Last Christmas Marshall Field's in Chicago had a Snow White and the Seven Dwarves theme. An executive with the department store chain just recently told the Chicago Tribune they received complaints that the theme was promoting a gay agenda.
Seven short men living together. That's like five Lucky Pierres.

Alright already - knock it off with the "Lucky Pierre" references.
SNL hasn't been funny for 10 years.
Franken is still somewhat funny.
The Onion is still very funny.
And The Daily Show is flippin' hilarious.
