Satire Site: The People's Cube

by Joe Katzman at October 24, 2006 7:51 PM

Nortius Maximus tips me off to this one - someone puts a lot of work in. Lots of good material there. I quite liked "The People's Newswire," with entries like:

Democrats upset with Kim Jong Il: "Couldn't he have waited with his nukes until after the elections?"
Star Trek ship fetches $576,000 at auction. Kim Jong Il: "OK, now how do you make the damn thing fly?"
Nigerian VP charged with fraud: should GOP leadership resign?
Nigerian emails seized, national pastime outlawed, The People's Cube forced to redeploy its penis enlargement facilities to neighboring Cameroon

To offer just one additional example let's look to The People's Dictionary:

Hezbollization

(noun) A process whereby evil murderous thugs are turned into everyday heroes by an overzealous mainstream media. Hezbollize (verb) Assign great social importance to gangsters, treat them as celebrities (Hez-boll-ized, Hez-boll-iz-ing, Hez-boll-iz-es)
Example 1: "Cross burnings bring warmth and comfort to homes without central heating, as caring KKK activists distribute clean white clothing among impoverished kids."
Example 2: "Crips, Bloods, MS 13 organize daily after school programs, engage minority children in pharmacological economics and ballistics training."

An oldie but a goodie. Oddly enough they were de-listed from Google a while back. But appear to have sufficiently succumbed to the Mighty-G and have been let back in the club.

Some of the best political comedy I've seen online in a while.

Another entry for the People's Glossary:

affirmative action: (n) the enlightened and noble practice of favoritism based upon race rather than individual merit. Not to be confused with racism, the ignorant and pernicious practice of favoritism based upon race rather than individual merit.

I laughed so hard I almost cried. This was a great site, Joe! Thanks for the link!

One thing that caught my eye was the song "12th Imam is Coming To Town" with the picture of Ahmanutjob sitting next to some half-santa character. I'm still singing and laughing "...he sees you when you're sleeping, he knows when you're awake..."

Here are some quick tips for adding simple Textile formatting to your comments, though you can also use proper HTML tags:

*This* puts text in bold.

_This_ puts text in italics.

bq. This "bq." at the beginning of a paragraph, flush with the left hand side and with a space after it, is the code to indent one paragraph of text as a block quote.

To add a live URL, "Text to display":http://windsofchange.net/ (no spaces between) will show up as Text to display. Always use this for links - otherwise you will screw up the columns on our main blog page.

Finally, note that a constant onslaught of Trackback spams from auto-generated blogspot blogs has forced Winds to ban the blogspot.com domain from use in comments or trackbacks. If you host on blogspot, consider moving; otherwise, the complaints need to be directed at Google not us.
