Title: Supreme Court OKs Death Penalty For Commenting On Articles Without Reading Them
Post by: SZonian on January 11, 2019, 10:12:24 pm
In a landmark decision, the U.S. Supreme Court bench handed down a ruling Thursday approving the death penalty for people who comment on articles without reading them.

In the highly publicized case, State of Texas v. Wilbur, state authorities had found internet user Edward Wilbur guilty of posting a comment on a story linked on his Facebook page, a news story Wilbur “had clearly never read.”

While most of those convicted under Texas’ recent state law banning commenting on news stories or opinion pieces without reading them get off with a few months of community service or a stiff fine, the “severe stupidity” of Wilbur’s comment reportedly landed him a shocking sentence of execution by lethal injection.

The writers at the BB have proved themselves to be some of the most witty satire online now days. They even have Facebook now blocking some of their articles because they hit too close to the bone.
