Hapax rated 21 months agoFeatured Review
I notice that some people have complained that this 'news article' is a bad fake, evidently having missed the fact that it's dated "25 December 2016". For others who are objecting that it's "in bad taste", let me refer them to this: . . . . I have been ...

I am against Death Penalty whoever is the criminal. Nevertheless the satire results pretty interesting for me just because it's shocking... and I ask to my self? Why is it shocking? *still thinking*

Might be in bad taste for some, myself am also against the death penalty but this is satire, don;t forget. Just imagine this happening though...And in any case, it's time for some folks to pay for their crimes at some point.

Ok so it is a satirical spoof but, I for one think it is too good for him. He needs to be indicted and impeached and allowed to live out his life.

All English-speaking politicians should end this way, good riddance to the scum!

A gruesome example of 'gallows humour'. But it does force you to think on the issue of an alternative point of view.

I like satire but I agree with all those before me that said that this is in bad taste.

I don't see how this fake news article is at all like "A Modest Proposal". The latter cleverly, ironically pointed out the injustice and lack of notice the upper classes put into the lower classes of Britain. What does this article do, prove the writer doesn't like Bush? I mean, it's fine that the thing exists, but it's not even that funny and it's doesn't equal the other links on Stumbleupon in terms of humor.

I'm sorry, as much as detest the man and his policies, especially in regards to Iraq, this is in bad taste. As someone who loves humour and satire, I have to disagree in that this is satire. This is in bad taste. Sorry...

This is SATIRE, folks. When you get bent out of shape about satire, you make satirists giggle. Jackanapes complained to me that "nobody ever did this to Clinton." As I told Jackanapes:No, nobody printed a mock-execution trial of Clinton. Neither has anybody impeached Bush yet. Clinton set himself up for impeachment. Bush set himself up for this. Neither man has anyone to blame but his own fool self.Clinton didn't get 3,000+ U.S. soldiers killed in a pre-emptive war;Clinton didn't order very high-profile executions (a retarded man; a woman);Saddam was not hanged on Clinton's watch after a trial that avoided airing the crimes that Saddam committed while receiving U.S. support;Saddam was not hanged on Clinton's watch in an internationally embarrassing hoopla.As for the (unending) comments about how liberals are obsessed with hating Bush; conservatives were obsessed with hating Clinton, and many of them are still blaming Clinton for everything that goes wrong. This is America: it is quintessentially American, and has been since George Washington was elected, to lambast the President. Would you rather live in North Korea, where you can be assured that everyone will publicly adore your President all the time? Politics has always had mud-slinging and always will. If you don't approve of it, don't do it. If you can't stand hearing it, don't listen. Criticizing the mud-slingers just devolves into doing your own mudslinging. Listen to yourself talk about "cultist liberal moonbat hate groups" and "the reasonless amoral youth of today." ALL of you who criticize others -- and I am including liberals who disdain conservatives -- listen to YOURSELF talk, and stop being so god-damned hypocritical! I'm sick of the lot of you being as nasty as you can think of to the other side and acting righteous about every meanness they say about you. GROW UP!

Former U.S Dictator executed.Former U.S. President G.W.Bush has been executed byhanging at a secure facility in central Washington for crimes againsthumanity.Fox State TV said the execution took place just before0600 local time (1100 GMT). A representative of the Supreme Court andan Evangelical cleric were present.Television showed images of G.W.Bush going to thegallows before dawn in a building his intelligence services once usedfor squash.However the moment of his execution was not shown. Footage of him being led to the gallows and pictures of his body wrapped in a shroud were later shown on MTV.Two co-defendants, G.W.Bush's vice-president and a former U.K. Prime Minister, are to be executed at a later date.Thanks to Z and E for this.It made me feel all warm and fuzzy in my tummy.
