A black bourgeoisie perspective on U.S. politics
Hey fam,
One of the things that’s been occupying me lately is the day job at The Onion. We’ve got two televisions shows on air right now (Onion SportsDome, Tuesdays 10:30/9:30c on Comedy Central and Onion News Network, Fridays 10/9c on IFC), and there’s a lot of work going into each one.
Each show has had a clip which I think the JJP community would especially appreciate. The first is from ONN with the headline: Judge Rules White Girl Will Be Tried As Black Adult. It was the first story to air in the series.
Judge Rules White Girl Will Be Tried As Black Adult
The second aired on last night’s SportsDome as: Tall Black Man At The Gym Could Be The Next NBA Superstar
Consider this post good for your lunch break. Long live smart satire! Oh, and watch the shows. Keep me employed :)
