Thanks Dread! That didn’t come up when I searched, but I found comments suggesting DB was satirical.
Weeeow… just read your link. Hilariously stupid person! What’s worrying is…
that mentality + power…

@steviebee I’ve been browsing the Daily Beast pages. It doesnt appear readily on Google searches but I persevered. It actually looks quite good with some of the stories appearing to have a good element of believability. Like this one…
Having read a few more pages, they cleverly appear to put genuine news stories alongside the ones that leave you wondering. For example there is a story about contaminated Coranavirus kits that the claimed source is The Telegraph, searching The Telegraph for the same story confirms it to be genuine
@steviebee It kind of reminds me of Brass Eye the satirical current affairs programme from back in the day
Yes!
Babies in filing cabinets!
That was a good series!
I just found the “About Us” page which describes Daily Beast as;
Independent. Irreverent. Intelligent. The Daily Beast delivers award-winning original reporting and sharp opinion in the arena of politics, pop-culture and power. Always skeptical but never cynical, The Daily Beast reaches more than 1 million readers a day. Noah Shachtman is Editor-in-Chief and Heather Dietrick is CEO. The Daily Beast is based in New York and is an operating business of IAC (NASDAQ: IACI).
Damn, I was hoping she wasn’t…
A really vile whacko! So extreme that I thought the Daily Beach article had to be satire, it isn’t!
Just curious, how did you find the Creationist illustration that brought us to this?
Um, good question…idle wandering through junk on the internet. Friends and I share pics etc to brighten each other’s day.
Bit like this thread, lol…without the discussions!
Well you certainly sparked an amusing alarming and informative diversion. I got up planning to play records and so far have spent the morning reading the new found Daily Beast.
As they say many a true word spoken in jest
The Goats Are Back In Town!
Residents are concerned for safety after last years violent disorder where herds of Goats descended on the seaside town and engaged in running battles with rival gangs of Sheep on the beach.
Locals fear that Goats are now taking advantage of lockdown to return and wreak havoc on our streets and are demanding tougher sentencing.
Dystopian nightmare. Lawyers on the rampage in Lahore.
Anyone else see this news:

Please make it so!
It’s a goat rodeo!
The Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster came into being as a result of one parent’s alarmed reaction to the Kansas State School board voting to teach creationism with equal scientific weight to The Theory of Evolution. Worth googling the Church of the FSM as an interesting reaction to fundamentalism.
Armed police have just stopped me in the car at a roadblock. It must be getting serious. They pointed a loaded gun at me and screamed ‘‘Come out with your hands sanitised’’
