{{quote|So, White Man's Burden, you're a poem. And more then a century after Kipling wrote you, scholars still disagree over whether he was kidding.|John Green|[[Crash Course (web video)]]}}
{{quote|These examples, as absurd as they may seem on the surface, are not outliers or aberrations — they are some of the most massively viral “Is this true?” subjects we’ve ever undertaken. They put the lie to common refrains about “obvious humor,” “obvious satire,” “obvious jokes,” or “obvious” anything else. Quite evidently '''nothing''' can be put online — no matter how preposterous in concept or plainly labeled it might be — that some people won’t believe to be true (or at least allow '''might''' be true).|''[[Snopes]]'' [https://www.snopes.com/notes/why-we-include-humor-and-satire-in-snopes-com/ on why they cover satire.]}}
{{quote|Imagine if, in 1729, there had been a number of letters to the editor by various authors proposing that Irish children be exterminated and eaten. Imagine that laws of that nature were being seriously debated in Parliament, and that one of the parties had made it a part of their platform. While the laws were being regularly defeated, opponents still had to stand up and seriously debate why it was unethical to eat babies. Imagine that a candidate for prime minister actually solemnly suggested that we ought to at least consider the merits of eating Irish children.

{{quote|It is the divine will of [[Memetic Mutation|our Lord Kek]] that our enemies be parodies, living cartoons for our amusement. The memes must flow.

{{quote|'''Handle''': Every time I watch that ’10:10 no pressure’ video I cannot quite bring myself to believe it was made in total earnest and not the result of some insider sabotage and subversion. Just plausible enough to get the contract, but so absurdly demonstrative of the fanatically coercive nature of the climate campaign that it can’t possibly have been made by someone actually trying to rally the troops while making not-so-subtle threats to holdouts.

{{quote|It has come to our attention that some people are suggesting that "dog paper" was accepted because reviewers are busy people and
"is same as physics journal accepting a paper with fake data"
To dispel such notions, we shall publish reviewer comments to Dog rape paper.
It starts off slow and fairly optimistic, with paper being rejected (they almost dodged the bullet here, didn't theEE [picture]
EEE wait a minute... oh... oh wow, "animals and black feminist geographies", now that's an unfortunate turn of phrase... [picture]
Now, what will reviewers want after some more "feminist geographies" was added to the text?
Well, for one all of them are now supportive of the work in the under-explored area of dog rape culture [picture]
Reviewer 1 is very concerned about ethics of inspecting dog genitals without dog's consent, and the inequality that represents relative to human "participants" [picture]
Reviewer 2 is concerned about methodology... perhaps they have some intact sanity and will come to realize that... oh... [picture]
oh... oh NO oh NO
Oh NO
NONONONONONONONONO
Reviewer 2 [[Memetic_Mutation/Film|you were the CHOSEN ONE, you were supposed to DESTROY THE NONSENSE, NOT JOIN IT!]] [picture]
Reviewer 3 seems to raise important points regarding absence of due process in dog rape accusations [picture]
Reviewer 3 also seems to believe that dog rape is a whiteness issue, takes issue with the paper being too much like a "science paper", and wants even more Black Feminism(s).
We do, however, agree with R3 that Harlan Weaver is indeed very relevant to the issue of dog rape culture [picture]
After even more Black Feminism(s) were added, the paper was accepted, with Managing Editor even claiming to be "pleased" by this turn of events.
THE END (OR IS IT?)
