Ho Lee Fuk Deez Nuts – When Can News Be Trusted?
In the last few days, this television news broadcast caused a lot of laughter among people who, naturally, thought the reporter was the victim of a prank:
But, apparently, Deez Nuts is a legitimate third-party candidate for the White House in 2016. Sure, he's a high school kid, but he filled out the paperwork for the FEC and that's how a person gets through the gate. So, for now, he's legit.
This reminded us of another news report, one that an anchor delivered in a completely deadpan way:
That one was not real. It is a very funny prank on a broadcaster, but it's pretty easy to see through it once you get the joke. It's easy to speculate that a lot of people, who simply think Asians have weird names, didn't see any joke there whatsoever. That notion makes it a bit funnier, but it might not be a true assumption.
