Hilarious news headline

There is an article in the Post Express (a free paper on the Metro in DC) about the effect of Katrina on gas. The headline actually made me laugh out loud (and feel a little sad at the same time):

"Bush urges U.S. to Conserve"

:D:D:D:D:D:|[:/]:S>:(

You really cannot make this stuff up people.
Why yes, my license number is a palindrome. Thank you for noticing.

But Clinton urged people to conserve far more often.

:S:S



Jesus fucking christ.

I mentioned a funny headline about Bush and it takes mere minutes to make a Clinton reference.

Did I ever say Clinton was better than Bush? Did I make any sort of statement about any OTHER politician?

No.

Take the headline on its own merits. Our government is gigantic and Bush, a CONSERVATIVE, has done nothing to curb that. Is it other people's faults? Surely, but he certainly has not helpe at all. I found the headline ironic and amusing.

Lighten up people.

I guess we just didn't find it as hilarious as you did and felt the need to interject more humor into the thread so the person clicking on it wouldn't feel let down.

:ph34r::ph34r:



Irony is often lost on the feeble minded. :P:P:P;):D

Seriously though, it is more sad than anything anyway. The title of the thread was also meant to be ironic. [:/]

Oh, the irony wasn't lost, it was pretty clear. It was also pretty lame.

Not really. We Brits are famous for our stoicism. I'm sure I'll be able to soldier on with a stiff upper lip and a nice cup of tea, despite the terrible malaise I feel at being physically forced to read this forum. After I've walked home in the drizzle I shall have a warm beer and gaze out at the fog...

So...just another day in Merry Olde, eh? ;):P

Actually, compared to the things which are often passed off as irony, the example is quite good.

Or would you say that the Federal Government is currently doing very well with conservation?

You may not LIKE the irony, but you cannot deny its existence. :ph34r:

I could see my breath. :S:D

Well, there is that of course.

A bit cold outside though too. :ph34r:

Naw, that was Jimmy Carter. Another great Democrat President who liked to sit in front of a fire on national TV with his Cardigan Sweater and bemoan how America's best days were behind us and how bleak the future was.



Really? I must have missed that.



I remember it. One of them was just after he got attacked by a killer rabbit.

Apparently I was not the only one no find the irony in this.

The Daily Show noticed the same thing. And then they run a clip of Scott McClellan saying (paraphrase) "The president has outlined plans to help our nation conserve better and depend on oil less. Conservation of energy has been a TOP priority from day one"

Which of course led to then rolling a clip of Ari Fleisher in 2001 fielding a question (paraphrase): "Do you think that with the per capita energy consumption of Americans being the highest in the world, we should have a plan to learn to conserve?"

His answer?

"No. Absolutely not. The president feels that is the American way of life"

too late GTA, trying to point out that someone else picked up the ball and actually made it funny doesnt shield you from the fact that this thread started out so weakly :P:P



You can suck it. ;)

And I am more interested in the IDEA behind the quote than the humorous nature of it. Like I said, the hilarious in the title is ironic. And irony is often more sad than funny.

Yup, sad was definitely closer to how I felt when I read this thread. :P

TV's got them images, TV's got them all, nothing's shocking.

What does that say about you? :o:D
