Main Stream Media Just Like Talking Dogs
The always clever staff of YouThinkWhat describes the Main Stream Media (MSM), not to be confused with an anti-inflammatory supplement, as being like Talking Dogs.
Whenever we hear any news story reported by the MSM, such as Dick Cheney shoots a trial attorney during a hunting trip and the result is the trial attorney apologizes to the veep for stepping in front of Cheney even though the vice president used the “shoot first, look after” firing technique; or John McCain can not remember how many homes he owns; or Barack Obama is not an American citizen; or President Clinton is unhappy with his role at the current convention in Denver; or any reports about Amy Winehouse, Brangelina and the twins, Brittney Spears, Beyonce , we are reminded of a joke about a talking dog. The joke goes like this:A man was looking through the classified ads to find a canine companion when he came upon an advert for a “Talking Dog-$50″. An ad like this aroused the man’s curiosity, and so he called the phone number in the ad to arrange to see this amazing animal.
When he arrived at the home of the woman who owned the dog he was greeted in a cordial manner, with the owner directing him to a library where he found the dog reading a magazine. Politely the man interrupted the dog’s reading to inquire about his background. The dog obligingly put down the magazine, while inviting the man seeking a new pet to sit down. The dog said, “Well I was born in rural Pennsylvania. I spent my formative puppy-years on a farm with my parents and my siblings. When I was just over one year-old I was sent to be trained as a police dog. I was very successful,” he said. The conversant canine continued, “I was so successful I was sent to New York to assist with the recovery of the bodies of those who perished on September 11, 2001.”
The man could only listen to all this in complete astonishment. Not only was the dog speaking perfect standard English, as intelligent as a human being, but his life story was utterly fascinating. “Tell me more,” said the man. “How did you manage to end up here in Florida?”
“Actually, after my assignment in New York, I was sent to Iraq to help locate Saddam’s WMDs. We all know what happened with that. I was returned to the states only to be called back to Iraq to help search for the deposed Iraqi leader. I’m mighty proud to say I was there when he was he found. I was in Afghanistan for a very brief time. In my opinion there was no need for the U.S. to bomb the place the Soviets had already done a devastating job on the terrain!”
“Incredible!” said the man. “What happened next?”
“After that final tour in Iraq and my short visit to Afghanistan, I was brought to Florida. My new owner found me at a local kennel. And just like my other owners she was unaware of my ability to verbally communicate with humans, until one day she left a piece of dark chocolate within reach of my food dish and I said, ‘Hey lady, you know chocolate for dogs is like arsenic to humans.’ When she overcame her surprise she removed the poison threat and we’ve been talking ever since” said this personable pooch.
Finally the man looked at the dog to say, “Please excuse me. I must speak to your mistress about making you my new pet. I’ve just got to have a dog like you.”
The man walked to the garden and found the dog’s owner reclining on a lounge chaise near the pool. “I can not help but wonder why you want so little for a dog who has the ability to talk… whose life had been so exciting. Why are you selling this dog for only $50?”
“It’s simple” she replied. “He’s a big liar!”
That is how we think of the Main Stream Media. They’re just a bunch of Talking Dogs!
