Let's be real, Herd. Comedy is on life support, and the "easily offended" are pulling the plug. Remember when a joke was just a joke? Now, every punchline is dissected by a committee of rule-followers looking for a reason to scream "canceled." At Fake News Friday, we believe humor should ridicule everything—even your feelings.

The "Safe Space" Trap

You can't have comedy without a little danger. The best jokes make you uncomfortable before they make you laugh. But today's culture demands "safe spaces" where no one ever feels challenged. When you prioritize comfort over truth, you don't get comedy; you get a lecture. We reject the safety. We want the edge.

Outrage Culture vs. Context

It used to be that context mattered. Now, the mob digs up a tweet from 2009 to ruin a career. Outrage culture doesn't care about intent; it cares about power. They want to dictate what is funny based on an ever-changing rulebook that nobody signed up for. If you have to apologize for a joke, it wasn't a joke—it was a confession.

Why Comedians Are Scared to Speak

Have you noticed your favorite stand-ups pulling their punches? It’s not because they got unfunny; it’s because they don’t want to lose their livelihood. Censorship in stand-up comedy isn't always a law; sometimes it's the silence of a comedian terrified of the backlash. That fear is the true death of comedy.

Why We Refuse to Comply

Here's the good news: We don't care. Fake News Friday is a sanctuary for the politically incorrect. We don't follow the script, and we definitely don't apologize for laughing. If you want a sanitized world, go watch daytime TV. If you want the unfiltered truth with a side of heavy metal, you know where to find us.

The world might be walking on eggshells, but we’re stomping on them. Comedy isn't dead as long as there are people willing to laugh in the face of the absurd. Join the Herd this Friday, leave your sensitivity at the door, and let's have a real conversation.
