Killing Dogs For A Laugh, Topless Babes And President Sean Penn: The Indepedent Does Satire

independent-satire Killing Dogs For A Laugh, Topless Babes And President Sean Penn: The Indepedent Does SatireSIGNS that the Independent is embracing wit and turning itself into a satirical organ abound.

The paper’s editor Roget Alton has already told us:

“Pictures of semi-naked women basically make the world a better place.”

And now we get his for tm the once serious newssheet:

A former TV executive has confessed to shooting dead his neighbour’s dog after becoming annoyed at its early-morning barking.

Phil Bishop, who directed Top Of The Pops and Game For A Laugh during a decades-long career, shot Foggy, a Bedlington terrier, in the heart with a single shot from an air rifle.

One may suppose this to be a genuine story, but the clue is ‘Game For A Laugh’. We’ve been had. Where’s Beadle?

And then this:

Raul Castro, the Cuban leader, has told the actor Sean Penn that he would be willing to meet Barack Obama, the President-elect, after he assumes power in the United States, although he added the encounter should take place in a “neutral location”, for instance Guantanamo Bay.

It is a story so beyond parody it can only be work of parody. Hats off to the Indy for biting the bullet in tough times…
