The greatest, best humor and satirical news site that's ever had the goodness to grace the web with its genius.
You may know HumorFeed as the best source for satire news around (it's like a syndication network, and nothing but the best stuff here, thank you very much). What you may not know, however, is that in addition to dishing up to a dozen of the highest quality headlines from sites around the world every day, that they take the time once a year to pick the best of the best (of the best, I dare say.)
And they get some help to do it -- and it's almost a mystery how they did it -- they've convinced (bribed? threatened?) five of the nation's most respected journalists and humor writers to make the final pick.
One of the panelists has an Emmy in journalism, in case you're looking for the judging panels credentials.
This time around, the HumorFeed winner for the best satire article of 2008, they picked a story by the fine G. Xavier Robillard,
"Baristas Claim Obama's Coffee Not Black Enough." It's a funny story from a funny guy.
You don't have to take our word for it, you can just read on to the delight of your heart and funny bone.
The article is headlined, "Baristas claim Obama's Coffee Not Black Enough"... nice already.
From the article, ""Sure, I take my coffee light and sweet," answered Senator Obama, in a press conference set up to deflect the allegations. "But I don't believe in two Americas, decaf and regular. I believe we can move beyond that, and you should drink coffee however you like, whether it's a dark espresso, or some watered down Sanka at a truck stop.""
Robillard has been writing for a variety of sites around the web besides his own, including places like McSweeney's and the Comedy Central blog.
And if the press release is to be believed, he even has a book coming out in just two weeks, from Harper Collins no less. And the other nine writers aren't slouches either. Give Humorfeed a visit, and check out Robillard's story and all the rest. You'll be glad you did, and find yourself coming back for more.
