ED is Dead, Long Love ED

My impression is, funny, but variations on a theme. Edit for the kill. I did laugh at the Erectile Dysfunction confusion at the end, be sure to keep that. Keep in mind, though, that random makes me laugh, the unexpected misdirection. It is not what makes everyone laugh. The general theme of the humor was ED is dumb, people that read it get dumber. Illustrating the theme with examples. The ED penis joke at the end, was unexpected therefore made me laugh more than any of the well-crafted examples of people being dumbed down by the Encyclopedia Dramatica (ps) the fact it got reborn, still haunts me, and screams ironically at me in the face of the premise of the story. --K evilLips MUN,CM,NS,3of7 01:21, April 22, 2011 (UTC)

Barry Bonds convicted of obstruction of justice

I changed a couple things that Spike probably would have changed anyway, but I see what you mean about not knowing where to go from there. The only thing I can really think of is making fun of the defenses arguments as (like in most cases) they're just saying that every witness is lying because they're 1) trying to be consistent with someone else they know or 2) are trying to smear the person. Maybe a line like "In response to the prosecution's new tactics Bonds' lawyers have begun thinking up new reasons for why Bonds' life-long friends have suddenly turned against him. When that inevitably fails the defense will revert to the classic insanity defense, claiming that Bonds has a alternate personality named "Herbert" who forces those around him to give him steroids." I don't know, maybe that will inspire you to think of something.

Oh, maybe an O.J. reference "The defense has obtained a photograph of Bonds' hind-quarters where a so called 'syringe puncture' can clearly be seen. They have also obtained a syringe that may have been used to inject Bonds. When holding the needle point of the syringe up to the picture it was clear that the point was too large to leave such a puncture citing 'The syringe don't fit: you must acquit." That was probably funnier in my head. Good luck on it. It's really good so far. (I love the Tops, balls joke.) (talk) 04:02, 14 April 2011
