I wish I could laugh at this satire. :(

Beef jerky never stood a chance against borscht

I am laughing, because… the alternative is too damned depressing. I read this one out loud with my best Russian accent and equally stereotypical American accent… it helped.

At least something written that brings a smile on our face in these dire times

In another time, this would have been hilarious…but not now. Everything is so crazy, it’s impossible to tell the whats unbelievable, and that’s probably your point. Your regular articles are SO good, but the anxiety I felt when I thought this was factual, was nothing to laugh at.

If you think you will be doing this kind of piece regularly, you might charge extra for folks to get a parody warning for the sake of their blood pressure…
