Gemini said CNN’s Terrorist Fan Fiction Plus “Odor in the Court” Horse! | This is True Really News #1047

"19 men arrived at the airport for what could have been a normal day of flying..." Welcome to This is True Really News EP 1047, where we prove that sometimes the mainstream media is more satirical than we are. Today, Scott Combs and Tony Vercanez dissect a masterclass in "creative framing" from CNN, who recently described a pair of nail-bomb enthusiasts like they were the stars of a Disney coming-of-age indie flick.

But wait, there's more! We’re diving into the high-stakes world of horse breeding, where the only thing faster than the colts are the terrible puns owners use to ruin an announcer's day. From "Naysayer" to the legendary "Odor in the Court," we’ve got the full pedigree of comedy.

Highlights of today’s descent into the ridiculous:

• The CNN Fan Fiction Award: How a "Mother of Satan" nail bomb became a "change in life circumstances" in a deleted social post. It turns out "freelance explosive technician" doesn't look great on a LinkedIn algorithm.

• The Horse Name Hall of Fame: Why you should never let a psychologist (or a pun-enthusiast) name a foal. Meet the horses named "Ha Ha Ha," "Why Kick a Moo Cow," and the unfortunately birthed "Odor in the Court."

• California’s Runaway Train: The High-Speed Rail project is now $80 billion over budget, a decade late, and trying to pass a law making it illegal to look at its "weaknesses." It's a bold new era of transparency: if you can't see the records, you can't be mad!

• The Great Wife-Carrying Race: Inspired by 19th-century Finnish village pillaging—now with more spandex, Hawaiian shorts, and rucksacks filled with flour to meet the minimum weight requirements.

• Alfred E. Neuman for President: Why the Mad Magazine mascot is looking better than the current options. What, us worry?
