Al Gore's Nobel Prize

hahaha... I have to say, this made me laugh quite a bit. Of course, I'm a Republican, and I don't agree with Al Gore getting the Nobel Peace Prize, so that's why. *zips up flame suit*

This was incredebly funny, and for that, you get my points.


Since it is set up as a news article, I can't complain about it much. It's a humorous news article but it isn't much beyond that. Not really a story, is it? Just a quick quip of satire. Which is all well, since it is rather funny.

“It’s hard to run clubs like this these days [comma, not period] between logistics and supplies, the money just disappears.

“This is revolting[comma]” said Alan Holostair,

Other than those grammatical bits, I didn't spot anything. You made me giggle, thanks for the light hearted read. ^_~

haha wow that was kinda funny

Haha, I love it! Personally, I don't like Al Gore much, and I agree that he didn't really deserve that prize. But I don't think that's the only reason I liked it; the article was very well-written. It read exactly like a newspaper article, which was kind of the point. The essence of the satire was the obviously ridiculous idea that Osama bin Ladin would ever be given a Nobel Peace prize. You don't need any more over-the-top ridiculousness than that for this piece. As Icaruss said, satires don't have to be too obvious. That said, you could make it a little more obvious that this is a satire of specifically Al Gore's winning the Peace Prize. Maybe you could mention him in passing, or have him comment in the article.

I would suggest, because of the lack of indents for stuff posted on YWS, that you put an extra line in between paragraphs, just to give them more obvious distinction.

He...advised his followers to use an “environmentally responsible number” of nuclear weapons...

Ha ha.

“Expenses just keep going up.” Bin Laden said in his video.

Comma after "up," not period.

All of the rioters declined to comment.

:lol: Brilliant. Great ending.

As I said, the satire was quite obvious enough. The serious tone of the newspaper article undercuts the idea nicely and serves to add to the absurdity. Great job!

HAHAHAHA! Funny.

Haha. Very nice. I love political satire, and this one really had me going.

“In this day and age, freedom of speech is being more and more infringed upon... It’s good to see someone being recognized for standing up for what they believe.”


Very clever.

Holy cow. You have a lot of crits on this. So, for the sake of not being repetitive, I won't point out any grammar stuff.

Well, that was... different.

XD

Really good. Well written also. I could see this being in a newspaper. In fact, you just might wanna submit it one day, XD

Anyway, this was really funny. All of the stuff was taken care of up there, and I don't really have anything mean/cruel/critique-y to say, so I'll say one more thing:

I love the part when he was firing the gun at George Bush. XD very funny!

Sorry for such a terrible critique. It's just I don't think anything needs to be change, though I would consider spacing the paragraphs out, like you were supposed to.

Great job, Scotty! I look forward to reading more of.. well, your work!

I loved this!! You might be the next Ann Coulter (I lover her!)!. Of course Gore shouldn't have gotten the Nobel Peace Prize, but then again, didn't Yasser Arafat get it too? And you know what he was like lol.

My favorite part had to be when Osama said he couldn't show up for the ceremonies. "Yes, I'm on the ten most wanted list, so I don't think I'll be able to show up to accept the prize". That was funny, though, and heck, they way things are getting these days, it'll be a matter of time before he does get it for masterminding the "freedom fighter" movement (which is a joke in itself).

Nice to see somebody making fun of Islam!
