You’re no messiah

12/10/1995: Major breakthrough. Detective Mills smiled and laughed after watching an “SNL” sketch called “John Doe, the Happiness Killer.”
12/17/1995: Another sketch about “John Doe, the Happiness Killer.” Mills did not react, but he’s withdrawing again. Must prevent relapse.
1/14/1996: Back to square one. Another “John Doe” sketch sent Mills into a fit. Remind orderlies to remove cardboard boxes from arts+crafts
1/28/1996: Successfully escorted Mills out of TV room; averted disaster. (John Doe is denied a bank loan because they won’t accept his name)
2/4/1996: I fear that I am making him more of a recluse than when he arrived. (John Doe can’t convince the police that he isn’t a corpse.)
6/4/1996: Not sure what to think. Copy of “Variety” floating around. They’re making a “John Doe” movie. Mills started laughing hysterically.
11/16/1997: Mills is friendly, sociable; looking forward to the future. But he’ll be staying here. He must never know the box office numbers
11/17/1997: Idiot entertainment news anchor made a “box” office pun. All is lost.
11/23/1997: Buried Mills. I’m sorry, old friend. I hope you’re at peace. (John Doe “cuts” in line at a crowded theatre playing his movie.)

“Due to a rise of projection problems, Boston area film critics are protesting their work conditions by picketing outside offending theaters and watching bootleg screeners off of their phones. They refuse to reenter these theaters unless negotiations to improve projection quality resume.” #fakeap #filmcritproblems #film
My ambivalence upon leaving the critic beat, perfectly distilled.
About 2,860 Results for “Memevengers”

ROFLCon turns out to be a serious think tank run by obsolete humorists who steadfastly refuse to evolve. Confused yet intrigued by the concept of an electronic Luddite, you show up early for their one and only seminar and see a dry-erase board. The itinerary of topics has been written in a too-careful mimicry of Impact that belies desperation:
I. Why were there no memes in THE AVENGERS?
II. What memes can we make out of THE AVENGERS?
III. How can we assure that the aforementioned memes will appear in the sequel to THE AVENGERS?
Submission invitation: an irredeemable cartoon
agoodcartoon:

What do you think two-time Pulitzer Prize-winning cartoonist Michael Ramirez is trying to say here?
The President visits an all-too-typical editorial cartoon, asking an offensive and unwarranted metaphor to leave the panel. A good cartoon.
Speaking as someone fascinated/appalled by the overall quality of editorial cartoons, agoodcartoon’s format is a gift from Satirist Heaven. But you can’t blame anyone for breaking character in the face of this abomination.
