Those are the headlines. God, I wish they weren't.

When did news parody

stop being funny?

Was it somewhere between

Alan Jackson’s 9/11 cash-in

and Donald Trump’s hair?

Was it BoJo stranded on a zipline over London,

or Cameron’s alleged porcine relations

(bizarrely black-mirroring fiction)?

When did the news

start doing Chris Morris’ job for him?

When did they start

pre-satirising the headlines?

“No evidence mermaids exist,” says US Government.

Swimming pool evacuated after prosthetic leg is mistaken for paedophile.

Robots follow Marco Rubio to South Carolina.

I swear, I didn’t

make any of those up.

The actors on Saturday Night Live

are more statesmanlike

than the Presidential Primary Candidates they’re lampooning.

How the hell do they breed these

creatures? These gurning,

overgrown foetuses with their

conveniently dead junkie sisters to get

all wet-eyed and tumescent over,

their boomingly hollow controversy and

their total, catastrophic

crashes of personality.

These loathsome

organic constructs who would seem

more relatable and trustworthy if

their image consultants made them wear

Nixon masks for every

public appearance.

When did it all become

this strange, sick spoof

of itself?

Is there no one left in Britain who can make a sandwich?

Man dressed as penguin receives more votes than the Liberal Democrats.

Piers Morgan given jail time for illegally hacking ‘phones and gloating about it.

Okay.

I made the last one up.

Compared to some choices, I may actually vote for someone dressed as a penguin.
