Depiction of Piratenews by Satirist

Hello,

Recently, after Piratenews posted the following contradictory news articles, INN, the Imaginary News Network, was able to get an interview with the cryptic reporter:

"Very rarely have I met a more impressive person than Tammy Duckworth," said Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., in an article the day before she announced her candidacy Dec. 18. "She just has the poise and exudes the type of character that I think would make her an astounding public servant."

Duckworth is happy to point out that she and Hawai'i-raised Punahou graduate Obama have "a kama'aina connection."

Both were born outside the country - Obama in Indonesia, Duckworth in Thailand - and graduated from high school in Honolulu - Punahou and McKinley, respectively.

Kenyan-born Obama all set for US Senate

Sunday Standard
June 27, 2004

Kenyan-born US Senate hopeful, Barrack Obama, appeared set to take over the Illinois Senate seat after his main rival, Jack Ryan, dropped out of the race on Friday night amid a furor over lurid sex club allegations.

Here is a brief interview with Piratenews by their field reporter Ema Nymton:

********************************************

Ema - Pirate, by publishing two contradictory sources, you have ruined whatever marginal credibility you had in the 'truther' community. Why take this step?

Pirate - Well Ema... can I call you Ema? Ema, no one was getting the joke. No matter how many times I posted British Nazi Jew in the same sentence, there were some people who kept taking me seriously.

Ema - Do you mean you don't want to be taken seriously?

Pirate - Of course not, Ema. I'm a comedian, and it has been a great sadness to me that no one seems to get the joke. I mean, how many photoshopped images of Ex-Presidents worshiping Satan does it take for people to know when you're pulling their leg?

Ema - Apparently, quite a bit. When did you first get the idea to publish fake news about conspiracy theories on the web?

Pirate - Well, I had several influences, Ema. There was MAD magazine, which I read in my youth. I actually post MAD magazine images and get complimented for them from time to time. I was also inspired by the Onion. But strangely, even though both of those news sources are much less ridiculous than I am, people continue to take me seriously while recognizing the others as parody. No matter what I do, people still get mad, argue, and otherwise pretend that I am a legitimate commentator.

Ema - And I guess you'd rather them all just have a good laugh and get on with their day?

Pirate - Exactly. There's this one fool on a sci-fi forum who keeps following me around, trying to refute my arguments. I mean, really? You might as well argue at John Stewart on the television. Anthony? You out there? It's NOT REAL man. Get over it. Jesus.

Ema - So, now that you've blatantly contradicted yourself with back to back posts, and appeared on this interview, do you think people will finally get the joke?

Pirate - Not really, Ema.

Ema - Why not?

Pirate - Mostly because of the Nazi-Jew conspiracy to control the media.

"Argh! Shiver me Timber!"

Funny stuff Anthony - I think there is a hint to PN's motivation in the graphic, and it's not the piratical hussy - it's her dabloons, er, gold. As in, "PN is doing it not so much for the comedy but for the money."
You can actually make a good deal of it with hate and conspiracy theory propaganda.

Consider Rush Limpbow - he was in a deal to be a part owner of the St. Louis Rams - while they are one of the worst teams in the NFL, Forbes estimated their value at $930 million. Even as a part owner you have to guess around 50-100 million Rush was going to invest. Hate sells - right now these guys should be thanking Obama every day on the way to the bank.

And don't forget, PN claims that Alex Jones, the dean of conspiracies, makes $300,000 per day. Yes, he really did say that.

What are we waiting for????

Last week my wife and I took a cross state car trip for a wedding. On the road we decided to listen to local radio stations to hear what people were talking about. Of course, we came across Rush... I hit the mute button after a unbearable few minutes.
"Guy talks about nothing else but Obama, Obama, Obama! It's crazy how obsessive he is..." hmm "Ok, I'll unmute him and let's guess how many seconds it takes before he says Obama again."
I guessed 8, my wife said 12. It was 11. We cracked up.

Mute again, unmute

15 seconds "Obama"

Mute

6 seconds "Obama"

Mute

Came back during a commercial and it was still 14 seconds

The Nobel Prize award must have moved more money across right wing hater bank accounts - AND OUT OF angry, petty Republican bank accounts. I do take some pleasure in knowing these guys are fleecing haters.
