Satiric news organization does it again!

You may remember when Congressman John Fleming of Louisiana took this article about Planned Parenthood a little too seriously and posted it on his Facebook page a couple of weeks back.

Well, it’s happened again. Hakim* is a news buff. He usually stays at his desk during our mid-class break and watches news reports (in both English and Arabic) on his phone. Yesterday, he showed me what he was watching (WARNING: If you are at work, if you’re with a small child or your grandmother, or if you are offended by crude language, you probably shouldn’t click on this link!). Yikes! I told him it wasn’t real, it’s a joke, it’s supposed to be funny, but I’m not sure he believed me. It’s not often that I wish my students had smaller vocabularies, but I really hope he doesn’t know what a slut is.

*Names have been changed to protect the innocent.
