At least she ends it with some Google fact-checked truths about personal protection.

(17,208 posts)That little head-banging thing. Am I terribly wrong in expecting this to be a normal American response?

(4,131 posts)I considered responding at length but havent the time to do so in a gentle manner. When I tried to put pen to paper to describe just how ridiculous it is to insult someones intelligence, when you yourself so thoroughly failed to comprehend what you were insulting, I could not find a way to do so without sounding mean.
1. You were wrong to insult her.
2. You were very wrong to assume that her satirical, over-the-top caricature, was representative of a normal American woman.

We have a woman who put on an amusing, albeit painfully obvious, piece of satire.
Now we have this poster who so thoroughly failed to recognize that satire for what it was that he actually suggested the performer was too stupid to breathe if not for the involuntary reflex to do so.
It isnt a good look to call someone stupid, especially in circumstances where the person delivering the insult has failed to understand what they were insulting.
Imagine someone calling Tom Hanks mentally challenged because they saw his performance in Forrest Gump and failed to understand the concept of acting.

Thank you Blaire ERSKINE for your heartfelt explanation of your husband, Daniel MAPLES, and his behavior.

(6,283 posts).... by using satire to make the point that her video is satire. Then again it would not surprise me if someone actually thought my post was serious.
Point taken!

(4,332 posts)I gave some thought to the subject title, as my own initial viewing was blind. I almost stopped watching it, as I'm past being tolerant of fools these days.
But it was so gob smacking, I became a bit mesmerized, transfixed by her blithe delivery. It wasn't until her recounting of oral sex googling that it began to dawn on me it's humor.
I concluded that all of us are so wound up and fried with the relentless stupid permeating our country today, that we're not up for being misled, even for humor.

(6,283 posts)I have seen videos and read statements that I would have sworn were one hundred percent pure satire. When I realized it is not satire I get this look on my face 😐 because I'm left with no words, or I get this look on my face 😕 because of how pathetic a good portion of the population has become, but when I run across the kind of satirical humor you have treated us to, this face is usually the result.😂 Thanks

Does no one watch SNL? Remember, you cant believe anything you see on the internet. Use you brain.
The OP stated it was satire, for gods sake.

usually people will respond "I'm dead" "i died" or "dead".
it doesn't make sense any other way to respond with "dead".

(4,131 posts)When something is exceedingly funny youd say Im dead or just Dead.
He definitely got the satire.
