Goldfish Mourns Passing of 3,855, 475th Mascot
By David Colton
NORWALK, CT — It looks like the snack has finally stopped smiling back.
A gloomy, overcast day set the tone at Pepperidge Farm HQ Wednesday as pallbearers made the long walk from the mansion grounds to the Water Closet Mausoleum for the 23rd time this year.
The deceased was none other than Walter, the company’s beloved mascot and President of Goldfish Operations at Pepperidge Farm. Hearts were heavy as the services progressed. The ceremony featured several guest speakers, including multiple fish advocates and Congresswoman Jan Schakowsky.
“There’s truly no way to define the imprint Walter left on this company,” said Melton Pervis, security guard who gets to watch the video cameras, “He really turned us around after that whole mascot murder scandal in April.”
Pervis is, of course, referring to the scandal that rocked Pepperidge farm earlier this year when Walter’s predecessor, Kevin, was found dead of thirst on the floor of the office kitchen. After an autopsy, the coroner confirmed the cause of death to be murder by manual strangulation.
It is unclear whether Walter passed from natural causes, but the subject matter is so sensitive among everyone who was close to him that nobody seems to want to discuss it.
Early rumors circulated that he was underfed, but there was little evidence to back this claim.

Lollapalloza Installs Camelbak Vodka Refill Stations
By David Colton
GRANT PARK — Well, it’s that time of year again.
The days are unbearably hot, the trains are full of plastered 16-year-olds and all of the artists you paid $400 to see are playing at the same time.
But, for once, Lollapalooza has set into motion a move that reflects a full and complete understanding of the festival attendees.
Organizers have now implemented another round of Camelbak refill stations — but these are different.
Explicitly designed to ruin the thin rubber backpack and an enjoyable afternoon, the festival decided Saturday to implement taps full of warm vodka.
“Look, we know what the kids want,” said Barton Carpette, who volunteered to be interviewed but has nothing to do with Lollapalooza, “Whose Saturday afternoon couldn’t be made a bit better with a little sun-warmed Svedka?”
Festival attendees will have the chance to answer this question for themselves this afternoon when the taps make their debut at Lollapalooza alongside unboxed bags of wine, which have also been left in the sun.
In an effort to make up the costs of the new, high-tech vodka dispensing system, the fest has also made the crucial decision to eliminate medical tents.
“If people are getting sick at a music festival, they shouldn’t be here in the first place,” said Marvin Bird, 17-year-old entrepreneur and kid whose idea it was to remove the medical tents, “This is a place for people to have fun, first and foremost.”
It is unclear if Marvin Bird was allowed to attend the festival.

Stranger Things Season 3 Just a Compilation of One Second From Every Spielberg Movie
HOLLYWOOD – The Duffer Brothers left longtime Stranger Things fans mildly surprised after revealing new details about the show following last night’s season three release.
The writer-director duo responsible for the Netflix original series surprised essentially no one as they unveiled that every shot from season three was taken directly from Spielberg’s work.
“His work is so nostalgic,” Matt Duffer explained. “As we wrote this season, we realized that every single thing we wanted to put on film had already been done like, 30 years ago. Why do it again?”
While Matt Duffer focused on reassuring fans that season three will live up to to they hype, Ross Duffer spilled details about the new season.
“We did whatever we wanted,” Matt Duffer cackled. “After Sean Astin was so well-received last season, we decided to just throw as many 80s icons into this next season as possible. You bet your ass that Molly Ringwald is in it.”
Although unconfirmed, leaked screenshots from the premiere surfaced on last week featuring Ringwald, Matthew Broderick, and ALF alongside the cast who are now somehow older than you.
Perfectly Good DJ Khaled Song Ruined by DJ Khaled
By Pitchfork
LOS ANGELES – Interrupting his way to the top of the Billboard 100 charts, music mogul DJ Khaled has yet again established one of his star-studded tracks as the song of the summer.
What could have been a revelatory synthesis of pop, reggaeton, EDM, and house music featuring the biggest names in each genre ultimately floundered as Khaled yet again self-sabotaged his single by shouting nonsensical, atonal ad-libs and using his three year old son as a vessel for TUMS™️ product placement.
“We the best music!” Khaled shouted over the gorgeous bridge sung by TDE artist SZA, completely ruining SZA’s attempt to convince the audience this was a real song. “Remember to buy new FAST REACTZ by TUMS to curb your heartburn and symptoms of indigestion!”
Although Khaled has been a mainstay in the Top 100 charts for the last 7 years, each and every one on his songs has been sufficiently ruined by his grating, way-too-loud voice interrupting what could have been a great song.

Study Finds In-Flight Entertainment Far More Interesting on Screen in Front of You
By Mo Macsai-Goren
ROW 32 – Struggling to fully commit to Mama Mia: Here We Go Again, social scientist Dominic Atkinson conducted a thorough study of airline passengers and their in-flight entertainment preferences late Tuesday night.
After extensive interviews with the flight crew and over 13 hours of participant observation, Atkinson concluded that the majority of passengers preferred to covertly watch the screen of the person in front of them, regardless of what was playing on their own personal screen.
“This doesn’t surprise me at all,” Atkinson told Gatekeeper reporters. “Why would anybody want to watch a movie of their choice when they could strain themselves to watch A Dog’s Purpose with no sound and half the screen obstructed? It’s a no brainer.”
Atkinson’s study went on to clarify that passengers pay the most attention to their own screens after being served meals due in part to the restrictions that a hot aluminum tin of in-flight shrimp scampi have on the human body’s ability to exert any amount of energy.
The study is currently under peer review by Greg, the man sitting in seat 32E, who is currently encroaching on Atkinson’s highly-coveted elbow room.
International Dance Day Once Again Falls on World Footloose Day
By David Colton
SMALLTOWN MIDWEST — Maybe today isn’t the day to cut loose.
As internet users and social media abusers around the world have reminded us, today, April 29th, 2019, is International Dance Day.
However, as John Lithgow was more than happy to remind us all, this is not to be a day for such nonsense. He took to Twitter to express his dismay:
Lithgow made another public appearance today at a press conference on the church steps.
“We stand adamantly against all of today’s youth around the world as they embark on this violent invasion,” said John Lithgow, known exclusively by the theater community for his role as Reverend Shaw Moore, “An invasion of dance.”
Diane Wiest, on the other hand, started out as a staunch opponent of the dance movement, but based on her latest Tweet, I’d say things are beginning to take a turn.
Hey, it looks like the kids are gathering down at the old grain mill on the outskirts of town! Let’s see what they’re up to.
Gee, it looks like something’s brewing in there! Let’s take a quick look.
Holy smokes! Ariel and Ren are totally going against the reverend’s orders!
You know what? Let’s do this. Grab my hand, let’s go!
