California Oil Field

Californians immediately started digging for black gold the moment the Greatest President removed the executive ban on offshore oil drilling. The lack of water proves global warming alarmists wrong again.

1. Thank you.
You're welcome to add your own captions, just remember if you don't register (which is free) the wiki will show your IP address in the history.

I would suggest not doing that; I would suggest registering.

3. I started it, but I can't take credit for the captions.
Anyone can post captions.

Here is another link for the archive: http://www.wikiality.com/Write_A_Caption/Archive

20. Everyone is welcome to add their own.
But, deleting or changing any one else's is a no-no.

5. Excuse me, but I don't see any Obama bin Laden bullshit at that link.
Edited on Tue Jul-29-08 08:44 PM by ColbertWatcher
That link is 110% truthiness.

I didn't look at the first one.

9. The entire site is based on truthiness.
We even have a page that says Obama is a secret muslim.

It's truthiness; it's satire.

11. I'm hip....just not in the mood for that sort of thing these days.
it's weird what amuses me

that Curious George/Obama Tshirt made me laugh, but this stuff doesn't

don't know why

and speaking of colbert, have you heard the audio version of his book? I have both, and the audio is even better than the book, which made me laugh on just about every page

14. I got the print version, but not the audio.
Although, maybe I shouldn't admit to not having an audio version...

We get a lot of complaints on the site about the content.

Satire is a type of comedy that many people simply don't get. And if you think it's hard to understand, try writing it.

18. you work for colbert in some capacity?
a big kudos, in that case.

both that one and Stewart's America are insanely funny, and hearing the words is far more effective, I think

not to mention laziness

I have two copies of Colbert's book, btw. does that cancel out the fact that I got the audio from the library?

and I really can't stand those feminIdi Amins, either!

21. Books are bad to begin with.
But, if Dr. Colbert is reciting it, then it's okay.

BTW, there is a page for audio books (www.wikiality.com/Audiobooks).

Oh, and to answer your question, no, I do not work for Dr. Colbert.

and "The Greatest Maverick". It took me aback right at first, but if you look at enough, it is obviously poking fun at the middle name.

16. Found it. A comment which was left by someone
"Obama bin Laden tricks General Petraeus into gathering intelligence for the next Al-Qaida"

Wonder if the additions are moderated at all?

Here are a couple I entered:


While McCain was astutely answering yet another serious question about Chzechslovakia,
Lance felt a little bile come up in his throat that he wasn't sure he could keep down this time.



OK Guys! I think we've found the White House Leak!

28. since you seem to be in the know, satire-wise, do you think that was
a real guy, or scripted?

either way....a doff of the satirical chapeau

Too many edits.

31. That's pretty funny, too bad...
...they couldn't cut it below 1:00.

Also, it could have used some music. There's nothing scarier to white America than hearing "jungle music"!

35. the thread has gotten no comments, except for mine
it's either, what, too lame, or too offensive

what else?

I know I'm not too popular around here, but, still, I think it does a reasonably un-heavyhanded job of expressing the deepest, darkest fears of LOTS of people (I know more than a few, and friends have told me of many, many others), not to mention the less than subtle racial approach that the Right Wing has taken in painting Obama as, oh, 'exotic,' among other coded pejoratives

36. Depends on when it was posted.
Edited on Tue Jul-29-08 10:18 PM by ColbertWatcher
Sometimes a thread can get lost if the forum is busy. I just checked and saw you posted it on GD:P. That place is a madhouse. If you're not a regular, your threads are almost guaranteed to get lost.

Plus, I think the headline has be catchy too.

I've found that if it's a joke, you might want to post satire (in parenthesis) in the subject line.

Otherwise, people are sure to be offended right off the bat (they are pretty wound up on GD:P).

34. I wish I could find that topic yrs back with "not obama" pictures in it.
It started when some MSM labeled a picture of someone else as Obama, and went on from there, satire, parody, mocking even.
