We know the collective sense of humor at Fox No News and its sister channel, Fox Bees Wax, is royally warped.
So, in the wake of Mars Wrigley yanking their CGI spokescandies in favor of actress Maya Rudolph (ex-Saturday Night Live), thanks in large part to Fox No News gasbag Tabloid Carlson, the makers of A & W root beer decided to troll and came up with their own prank.
The company put out a press release earlier this week announcing that their long time mascot, Rooty, would begin wearing pants with his signature sweater.
Of course, the twin Fox nets fell for the joke. All this really did was call attention to A & W, since it's not getting a lot of national attention in recent years.
As for M & M's & Rudolph, it turns out, as many have suspected on social media, Mars Wrigley is pulling an elaborate stunt that will culminate around the Super Bowl on February 12. Beginning today, the M & M's are being rechristened Ma & Ya's, with Rudolph's face on the candies.
So who gets the last laugh now, Tabloid? It ain't you, that's for sure!!!
Of course, when it comes to conservative media, there's no evidence to support the belief that you have to have your funny bone surgically removed to work at Fox No News, unless you're Greg Gutfeld.....!

After Tony Khan acquired Ring of Honor Wrestling last year, Warner Media (now Warner Bros. Discovery) banned the promotion's most prolific tag team, the Briscoes, from appearing on AEW television, due to-----wait for it-----some homophobic tweets from Jay (Jamin Pugh) dating back a decade, for which Jay had apologized, and gone through sensitivity training. Fellow blogger Sam Wilson speculated it might be because WBD has some LGBTQ employees in the executive offices that are hyper-sensitive.
After Jay Briscoe's death last week in an automobile accident in his home state of Delaware, brother Mark was finally able to appear on AEW's flagship show, Dynamite, winning his debut last night over long time rival and real life friend Jay Lethal in the TV main event. Khan negotiated the deal over the past week, and ROH is releasing a 3 hour-plus tribute to Jay Briscoe, debuting today on YouTube and HonorClub, ROH's streaming service.

So what's the real difference between old school politicos like former VP's Mike Pence and Joe Biden, the latter now the President, and former president Donald Trump when it comes to classified documents being discovered on their properties?
First Biden, then Pence, promptly turned over theirs to the National Archives. America's Oldest Baby refused to do that right away, believing he had the right to take some home for "cool keepsakes", as he put it. It took more than 18 months, and the FBI collecting them at Mar-a-Lago, before the National Archives finally closed that case, or so it seems. This is what results when you have someone like Trump, who has the impulse control of a 3 year old, and the behavioral mannerisms of same, having bamboozled enough people to get him into the White House (should've been Pence all along, in this writer's view).

Pinocchio Santos can't take a joke.
Late last week, all 3 networks' late night talk shows poked fun at Santos, a real life Joe Isuzu, and his constant lies. NBC called on Saturday Night Live alumnus Jon Lovitz, whose resume also includes NewsRadio and the animated The Critic, to impersonate Santos on The Tonight Show. CBS' Late Show With Stephen Colbert brought in Harvey Guillen (What We Do In The Shadows). SNL opened with series regular Bowen Yang as Santos crashing a Fox broadcast.
Santos lambasted Lovitz a few days later, but it's clear that Santos, who thinks Baron Munchausen was real, didn't get the joke. Apparently, he may be the only one.
