Press Release: The Corrective Party

"Qwaaark arqle kweek aareek qweep!!!" commented Tripitaka Adelie-Penguin, Corrective Deputy Leader and spokesbird on Avian Affairs at a sordid advertisment today.

In translation, Sister Malodora exclaimed:

"Sordid, filthy, wonton burgery!!! Heinous hamburger advertisements feature a lust-crazed bug-eyed foul fowl gazing with perverted desire at a bare-chested, pert-nippled semi (?) naked youth in a spa pool!!!"

She concluded: "Again, we are concerned that this advertisement may promote strange appetites in particular segments of the population!!!"

Interesting then to see the ( paywalled) Washington Post seriously debating with itself yesterday over whether… Hmm, is it now finally time to bring out the f-word in connection with the presidency of Donald J. Trump, and with his enablers in the Republican Party..? More>>
