When There's Not Even Any Use Trying

Can you even parody this?


Click on the picture to see the full leaflet and find out why fish are smart!

It's people with a stupid view and acting on it, but I can't be any funnier than they are themselves. This is beyond parody. It's absolutely hilarious, and I can't improve on it.

PETA says they're only going to give this to teenagers and adults, but the wording of it is obviously made to scare children (the leaflet ends with "Until your daddy learns that it's not 'fun' to kill, keep your doggies and kitties away from him. He's so hooked on killing defenseless animals that they could be next!"). Yet it's so hard handed and idiotic, I can't get angry at it. It just makes it funnier.

BTW, I could imagine being a little kid and telling my dad to stop killing fish and what his response would be:

"Well, if I don't kill fish, I guess the only thing left for me to kill is... YOU!

Shouldn't liberals be offended by this? It is pretty sexist. Women can fish, too. I mean, I never seen it, but I believe it is physically possible. My mother even has a fishing license... though only so my dad can drag her out into the middle of nowhere (and there are plenty of nowheres in Idaho to find the middle of) at four in the morning and catch twice the legal limit.

Oh! I have an idea on how to make this funnier! Have the comic end with Aquaman beating up the father.

Yeah, I still got it.
