How'd I miss this?

 

Feel free to scrub this thread and move it to what the actual fuck?

Well that's not weird for them at all.

 

The woman who made this parody of their new ad campaign got a job as a comedy writer for Kimmel thanks to the videos she'd been posting over the past year (most are worth a watch when you need some comic relief): https://twitter.com/...313897304399877

Thanks. That was great.

I recommend binge watching her videos when the world gets to be too much like it is. Many have fooled a lot of people into thinking she was serious, and in at least one case a video was featured on a European news show depicting how insane Americans are ("MAGA Teen" is a classic and might be the one they showed on TV over there, not sure though. "Ted Cruz's Communications Director" is another).

 

I try to balance my doomscrolling with an equal measure of humorlaughing. At this point it's probably a matter of national security that I continue doing that, frankly.

 

Edit to add: Holy shit, while searching for the Ted Cruz video just found a tweet from that arrogantly-dense lunatic Greg Kelly from "News"max who fell for it: https://twitter.com/...023271910764554

Here in Alaska is the only place I've ever been where I've seen active CIA recruitment adds in the small local rag news paper.    I haven't seen the ad's in years though.   I wonder what changed?

Even hollywood movies portray both the CIA and FBI ( & sometimes Cops too), as assholes, as often as not.

Yet thousand join the armed forces, of their own free will, to 'preserve or to bring, 'freedom' in or to, foreign lands', like Afghanistan, - makes me feel so proud to be American.

Its a strange world.
