Fairly Funny News

Fairly Funny News

Most rational people are aware that times are bad right now, not nearly as bad as our Captain Crisis, aka the president, constantly says they are, but we’ve certainly seen better times.

Therefore, since levity, as well as brevity, is the soul of wit, we take a break today to look at the lighter side of news since we all need a laugh, right? Since humor is in the perception of the humored, some of what follows may not meet with universal agreement that they’re “funny” stories but they are to me, for one reason or another.

First is bloody funny, not the Brit understanding of “bloody” as in cursed or damned but as in featuring blood.

Perez Hilton, that freak of nature who had less than complimentary remarks about Carrie Prejean when she stated the obvious about gay marriage, had his comeuppance the other night.

Shown above reflecting his surly best despite being a surly gay, poor Perez got socked in the eye outside a Toronto nightclub after he called a guy “a faggot.” Again, that’s not Brit for a cig but referring to a real faggot, a queer, a gay blade, a homosexual.

Now, Perez doesn’t take a back seat, pun intended, to anyone when it comes to being a flamer so I think that qualifies as funny, sort of the pot calling the kettle black and all. And when pusillanimous Perez got socked, he apparently didn’t sock back but instead Twitted, which I also think was funny.

Here’s a “guy” who was just assaulted and how does he retaliate but by Twittering on that social networking site, in 145 characters or less, of course, “I am bleeding. Please, I need to file a police report. No joke:” http://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=D98VS5RG1&show_article=1.

Oh, he was at the club with Lady Gaga. I think that’s funny, too, or maybe I should just get out more?

Passing gas isn’t usually funny after we pass the age of 15. Well, for males it’s funny up through college years, at least. However, it’s no laughing matter, I’ll have you know, when it comes to bovine, atmosphere-polluting, methane emissions which accounts for some 2% of America’s greenhouse gasses.

Coming to the planet’s rescue, a couple of organic milk producers in Vermont thinks they’ve made one giant leap for mankind by changing their cow-diet. . . .
