Satirist Fired for Trite Material


Syracuse, NY – Comedy Writer Dirk Birbrower was fired from his job Monday after Caught Laughing magazine Editor Jon Reiser accused Birbrower of too frequently relying on the obvious for laughs. “He lost his edge,” Reiser told Twisted News reporter Marshmellow Williams. “Every story raged against someone leaving their cart in the middle of the grocery store aisle, failing to make the obligatory waive for allowing a car frontsies, whistling in an elevator, or making bubbles in the pool. It’s old hat.” Reiser said Birbrower will be replaced by Democratic Majority Leader Harry Reid. Reiser asked Reid to write a new column called, “My Life as a Hypocrite”. In the column, Reid will explain how he can excoriate Republicans for passing legislation condemning MoveOn.org’s advertisements and then discuss censuring Rush Limbaugh for comments he made about the military on the floor of the Senate the following week. In his first column, Reid will scold Eric Cartman from South Park for unnecessary roughness as a hall monitor before revealing that he was suspended for three days in 1959 for putting a classmate in a locker.
