That is a bunch of bull. Why does the onion even exist?

Oh, come on! Satire is good fun.

PhilBon · Jul 20th, 2007, 8:54 PM

yeah if you want to be a complete dumbass

Some people don't understand satire.

If they did make this about someone pulling the wrong wire not many people could relate. Be honest and tell me that you never have more than 5 tabs/windows open. Now come on. I know that I do, as well as most other people. Don't allow your "high intelligence" to hold you back from having fun.

you're a dumbass for getting so uptight about something so small tbh. :/

It seems like a lot of you missed out on MADTV, Weird Al, and most of comedy central if you can't understand satire.

'router cable disconnecting' may be a bit beyond most people, but IMO because most can't understand it I think the story would be more believable for most people, not less believable. I reacon virtually no one would be fooled by this.

(edit - or am I missing the point, is it not suppose to be believable, just a silly joke/video, anyway I'm not watching it again).

I seen this video last week; I thought it was pretty damn funny.

You don't believe jokes that people tell you ? The English man, the Irish man, the Scots man and the Welsh man didn't really get 3 wishes. The chicken didn't really cross the road. The man didn't really walk into a bar.

Hope I haven't ruined them jokes for you now you know it didnt really happen.

For someone living in the UK, i find it hard to believe that you don't get sattire. Have you never seen Brasseye ?
