How Fox News could actually do some good.
Edited on Sat Apr-17-10 01:49 PM by Turbineguy
They have no interest in this but still, here's an idea: given their success at brainwashing people, what if they turned their obvious talent toward sex offenders and other criminals?

On edit: The idea is to cure them, but I understand how people could interpret this suggestion as Fox making them worse.

1. Why? The republican party is already good at turning out sex offenders and other criminals
without brainwashing them. :evilgrin:

4. I was thinking mass suicide, but I guess that's asking too much....
Really get the ratings up, though!

5. I was thinking more along the lines of turning off the satellite transmitters,
shutting down the studios, firing their talking heads, and going home.

6. Their interest in sex offenders extends beyond the salacious...
...only so far as it is useful to the masters of America's culture of incarceration.

They are enriched by the problem, and will actively oppose any solution.
