Baby Got Book: a Bible-based parody of “Baby Got Back.”
No, I’m not kidding. And neither is this guy. It’s a full-on train wreck.

Young Con Anthem.
OMG. “Jesus, Ronald Reagan, plus Atlas Shrugged.” Laughing so hard I’m crying. Seriously.
Oh. But I think they’re sincere.

The internal propaganda used during the Iraq War looks like a parody of itself, but is sadly real.

The irony, it is lost on these people.
“We are traditionalists – we just want to be called bride and groom,” said Bird, 25, who works part time for her father’s church. “Those words have been used for generations and now they just changed them.”In May, after the California State Supreme Court ruled same-sex marriage legal, the courts mandated state officials to provide gender-neutral licenses and other marriage forms. “Bride” and “groom” became “Party A” and “Party B.”
Bird and Codding have refused to complete the new forms, a stand that has already cost them. Because their marriage is not registered with the state, Bird cannot sign up for Codding’s medical benefits or legally take his name. They are now exploring their options, she said.
Then the article goes on to quote some right-wing think-tank dude as saying, “Those who support (same-sex marriage) say it has no impact on heterosexuals. This debunks that argument.”
To which I reply: Uhhhh… no it doesn’t. Their rights haven’t been violated, they’re just pitching a fit over the legalese on the forms. They still have the right to marry. And they still have the right to call themselves whatever they want. Look — they even made themseleves t-shirts.

Tina Fey as Sarah Palin and Amy Poehler as Hillary Clinton.
This is some seriously multi-leveled satire. They try to take on 2 kinds of sexism: the crap you get if you subvert feminine stereotypes (shrill, cankles, boner-shrinker, etc.) and the crap you get if you adhere to them (MILF, mommy, beautiful so stupid, etc.) and present them to a mainstream audience. It’s an impossible damned-if-you-do, damned-if-you-don’t double standard.
I’m not sure how many other people will get that from watching this, they pour it on thick — but then, that’s how satire works. Some people just laugh at the impressions and not recognize the other level of commentary.
(Also, Tina Fey as Palin is frankly eerie.)
