“We’re hopeful that the holiday will bring families together—or at the very least, provide a shit load of entertainment for onlookers,” said a White House spokesman. “We feel that there’s no better way to reconcile years of separation like being confined to a tiny office in some shit job that the parent never would have had if he/she finished college and just gotten that abortion.”

According to sources, Hallmark is still uncertain of how to properly commercialize the new holiday, but plans to package nips of Johnnie Walker with its holiday cards.

President Ahmadinejad: “7/11 Isn’t Real”

“7/11 is just a capitalist scheme to trick Americans into thinking that there is a place that sells oversized cups full of sugary, slushy drinks at 4 AM when they’re too drunk to even know what they’re doing,” said President Ahmadinejad. “But don’t be fooled, there is no such place. How could there possibly be a store that sells USA Today, hotdogs, and condoms? It’s impossible—but then again, the United States will use anything as a means spread their rhetoric throughout the Middle West.”

According to sources, President Obama plans to create an international educational platform that will provide every woman, man, and child on the planet with their very own cherry Slurpee.

Raft from Dominican Republic Exciting Baseball Scouts

Article, Sports, Baseball, MLB, Dominican Republic, Talent, Scouts, Oakland Athletics, Texas Rangers, New York Yankees, New York Mets, Playdo, RaftIn sports news, the latest Dominican raft to hit the American shores has been exciting baseball scouts like never before. While the shabbily built raft seems to be made out of branches, shoe laces, and possibly even Playdo, scouts seem to be attracted to the raft’s potential.

“I haven’t seen a raft like this in at least ten years,” said Buck Tiller, a scout for the Oakland Athletics. “Sure, it’s a little on the skinny side for a pro, but with the right conditioning and coaching, this D.R. product could be a big hit.”

“I think this raft could start in leftfield for us this season,” said Seymour Argyle, a scout for the Texas Rangers. “Given the absurd contracts owners have handed out to completely unknown imports over the past few seasons, this raft is the definition of undervalued.”

The raft will continue to workout for teams through the week, and should sign by the end of next week. According to sources, teams are not worried about rumors claiming that the raft’s wood is actually 50 years old—as opposed to the 30-year-old wood its agent claims the raft is made of.
