In my opinion the Babylon Bee is by far the best satire site on the Internet, especially since the Onion went woke and hasn't published anything remotely amusing or insightful for years. I like the BB because it has a good laugh at my enemies (the woke mob) but also pokes a bit of fun at "my side" as well. As I say, if you can't laugh at yourself you leave that task for someone else to do!
So I would like to share a few of my favourite Babylon Bee satires. Unfortunately I will not share the pictures or the exact text because of copyright issues, but feel free to visit their site (https://babylonbee.com/) and have a look! By the way, the subtitle of their site is "fake news you can trust" which is pretty funny in itself.
First, we see a picture of a new car from Tesla. It is bright pink and is known as the Model W. The caption reads "Tesla Introduces Self-Crashing Car For Women".
Of course, many Tesla models have the self driving feature which is supposed to increase safety (and convenience) so crashes should be reduced. But how would that work for women who crash a lot? Well, here's the answer.
And yes, I know that some research shows that women have less crashes than men, but I'm not even going to get into those statistics, which are open to interpretation anyway. This is humour, OK? It isn't supposed to be factual; it's supposed to be both funny and provocative!
The next shows a picture of people holding some sort of vigil while holding candles. I think it was following the assassination of Charlie Kirk, and shows conservatives commemorating his death. The caption is: "Democrats Confused After Seeing Conservatives Hold Weird Molotov Cocktail That Never Explodes"
Of course, this is a commentary in the difference in reaction of (so-called) liberals after the death of George Floyd, where people on the political left went on rampages of destruction, arson, murder, and assault, and conservatives after the death of Kirk who held peaceful candle-lit vigils.
Not every member of the two sides reacted in the same way, of course, but this is a powerful commentary on the genuine difference between them. As I have said before, this is not the left I used to support, which is why I no longer vote left. And I know this image relates to the situation in the US, but we do have a similar problem here in New Zealand, although it is far less severe.
Next, a picture shows a movie theatre with large academy award statues outside, with the caption saying "HOLLYWOOD, CA - In a recently published press release nobody read, a movie nobody watched raised nobody's eyebrows by being nominated to receive multiple awards at a ceremony nobody watches."
This is a dig at the Academy Awards ceremony which has steadily lost viewers, and the fact that movies which are expected to be successful often fail. Maybe the change in viewing habits is because of technology, such as streaming, piracy, and free content on YouTube, or maybe, just maybe, it is because both the movies and the award ceremonies have become increasingly out of touch and super woke, making them unattractive to most people.
Then we have an image of a new version of the board game "Clue" (often known as "Cluedo" in more civilised countries). If you don't know, Cluedo is a detective game where you attempt to figure out who committed a murder by asking questions of other players. The caption here reads "Hasbro Releases New Version Of Clue Where Mrs White Is Always Guilty".
The characters in the game all have colours in their names (Colonel Mustard, The Rev Green, etc) and Mrs White is one of the standard characters. But according to modern critical race theory, white people can be blamed for all of society's problems, and this satire is a reference to that absurd nonsense.
On a slightly different theme (non-political) we see a photo of a user holding an Apple AirPod case with a single AirPod in it, and a caption: "Apple Releases New AirPods That Come With One Already Lost For You". An AirPod is a wireless earphone which people use to listen to music or podcasts from their iPhone, iPad, Mac, etc. And yes, I have some and use them every day: they are a very good product.
But, being small and cordless they are very easy to lose, and I have lost some in the past, including one which our puppy chewed up into pieces! The current model has a nice "find me" feature which allows lost AirPods to be tracked with an iPhone, so I haven't lost any of my current ones, but I know the pain of that happening (being an Apple product, they aren't cheap).
Finally, we have a picture of Harry and Meghan with the caption "Harry And Meghan Announce Netflix Special About How Much They Want Privacy" and "The Duke and Duchess of Sussex have announced a brand-new Netflix docu-series entitled Harry and Meghan that talks about why the famous couple wishes they had more privacy."
I love having a laugh at the expense of these clowns, because I think they are two of the most entitled, tedious, hypocritical morons on the planet, and I enjoy every time I hear about their misfortune (yes, I am susceptible to schadenfreude too). Pointing out how they pursue cheap publicity while complaining about it at the same time is a brilliant criticism.
Well, that's probably enough for now. I have 352 favourite BB satires in my collection, so there are plenty more where they came from. If you want a good laugh which also has some deeper political commentary involved (as all good satire should) visit the Babylon Bee web site. You won't regret it!
