Just posting here that this is hilarious so the top-level comments aren't all negative

What a strange way of saying I don't like it when the Beaverton picks on Milhouse.

I don't think Little PP should be anywhere near the House of Commons. This isn't good satire, the only part that was even close to good was the line about bright orange lipstick. This reads like an actual news article. I was critiquing the quality of the article, not who they were trying to lampoon.

Lmao let me stop you right there. Saying "Beaverton really losing it edge." is not a critique. It's just an inane statement.

Holy shit, stop me at the end of a comment. As if I'm not allowed to have an opinion. Fuck sakes. Go back to your echo chamber.

You're allowed to have an opinion. Nobody stopped you from sharing it. You're just throwing a hissy fit because you're being downvoted for posting an inane comment and trying to pretend it was some genuine "critique" once someone called you out on it.

Fuck sakes. Go back to your echo chamber.

Lmao as I said: throwing a hissy fit.

And everyone seems to be pissed that I voiced one they didn't like.

They used their opinion, via a downvote.

Have you tried back8ng your claims to win people over? For example, you could pull several federal political pieces that the Beaverton published within the timeframe when they had their "edge", then show when the decline started, and when you feel that the difference is unmistakable?

What? That was hilarious and on the money. Learn to make fun of yourself, I know I do!

I love me some Oniony/Beaverton satire. I feel this was too on-the-nose, lacking in subtlety.
