This isn't a dig at the Daily Show, how they've managed to put out 2045 at least mildly entertaining episodes till date is staggering, even if 2000 episodes worth of airtime were just Jon Stewart looking at the camera silently with his admittedly amusing ironic grin. In fact this isn't a dig or rant at all, since hearing negative comments about the rants of someone as funny as David Mitchell as being "too ranty", really deflates any imagined right we thought we had to be... any kind of ranty at all.... except maybe of each other, just to preempt the impending rant on how ridiculously biased the previous anti-Henry post was, and how his first touch was in fact exactly what was required as had been calculated in that split second by the microchip inserted in that big head of his (which also leads me to think a rant on the post with unjustified fun-poking at Ramires, and his what was then assumed to be biggest head in the universe, would be quite warranted).
Instead, this post has a lucrative proposition for all satire and comedy programs. What's with the lack of football satire? Surely more people in the world are interested in football than in NEWS!!! Nothing ruins comedy like starting to ridicule a news story with a prominent politician and then having to substantiate it with hard logic and well reasoned arguments... On the other hand, we have Ashley Cole self photographing his manhood, Wscszxy calling Ramsey a rapist, and Balotelli...well just existing! How much primer material do TV networks need, all we have are some morsels thrown with sanctimonious alacrity once in three seasons of Mock the Week about Beckham's lack of grey matter and his wife's lack of any matter at all.. but before this turns into a rant, let me quickly give you the constructive solution. If something as monetarily successful and virally popular as PunaltyShootout can make the great crossing of vertical integration into Political Satire, surely then equally successful political satire shows of almost commensurate viral popularity would be happy to make the reverse step of including football satire, if only through the ironic gateway of satirizing PunaltyShootout the football blog and its doomed foray into political satire....
Obviously, we do not know anything about politics, nor about viral popularity or monetary success, our point was for ZonalMarking to land on this site by accident, coinciding with an inexplicable outage of their internet, and all other windows, thus forcing them to read this post, be supremely inspired and then churn out a post on tactical formation of the House of Lords backed up by chalkboards indicating position with most chairs thrown and intercepted rotating on the axis of average vocal intensity level distribution across the room. This then leads to Jon Stewart covering it for 10 seconds before staring suggestively at the audience for them to think up and be amused at whatever humor they believed he was getting at in the first place. Next thing we know, footballers from around the world are ruthlessly ridiculed on every major network, Jack Wilshere shuts down his twitter account after being spattered by eggs and laughter at every public appearance, and Jose Mourinho gets shafted by a pineapple. And it all began here, the day we decided to stop boo hoo ranting and get up and do something about it. Word.
