Salt Lake City, UT – Starting at midnight Thursday, a local Walmart decided to open its doors for a Black Friday lock-in until December 6, but due to said lock-in, the only means of communication between the inside of the store and the outside world has been a flashlight shone through a window in a crude form of Morse code. “I love it! It’s like having my best friends and family all in the same place, and they’re not allowed to leave,” Stan the Greeter slowly flashed to camera crews stationed outside of the Walmart. “Sure, we’ve had to put the occasional…

CLEVELAND – Arriving at home for Thanksgiving, recent college grad and youngest child of single mom Diana Mitchell, James Mitchell was surprised to find that his mother had transitioned from a working mother to some sort of pack leader for three large dogs. Walking in the door, James was excited to see his mom and then head to his grandmother’s for a large Thanksgiving dinner. But instead of walking in to a flurry of hugs and “how are you’s,” he was instead greeted with a quiet group of dogs surrounding his mother and staring at him suspiciously. After a few moments of…

Salt Lake City, UT – Wanting to fully capitalize on this year’s amped-up Black Friday sales, Salt Lake-area Walmart manager Chad Wellmington announced that his store’s enlarged Black Friday will be an unending lock-in event. “What’s the point in leaving?” said Wellmington, clear excitement dripping through his voice. “Walmart has everything you need, and while we’re already letting everyone raid the in-store Pizza Hut, there’s certainly no reason to let anyone out.

HOLLYWOOD – In a bold move, CBS announced today that it will be adding “gasp tracks” to all of its televised dramas following the holiday break. “Looking at the numbers for Two and a Half Men, Mike & Molly and The Big Bang Theory, it’s clear that Americans don’t have time to think about the shows they’re watching,” said Martin Shapiro, CBS programming director. “They want to be told when to laugh, and when to laugh really hard. So we thought, maybe they don’t know when to be shocked either.” The strategy will be applied to all CBS dramas, including popular…

Heaven – While God’s children have been busy gearing up for the holiday season, the Creator Himself has been busy gearing up for a more profitable Heaven in 2015, once again making a tremendous sacrifice for our livelihoods. Heaven will be going completely paperless, with electronic records, computerized processes and online billing to go into effect the first week of the upcoming year, God tells sources. “It is bold to make such a big change after 4.54 billion years in business. But in order to maintain a competitive advantage over other rising deities, it is the only way to stay afloat,” God…

NEW YORK – Proud New Yorkers from all five boroughs took to the streets today to celebrate the elimination of the last tree in the city, representing the end to an epidemic that has plagued the city since its founding. As recently as 2010, New York City was reported to have over five million trees infesting public and private spaces around the city, with a dangerous concentration located in Manhattan’s Central Park. Steady progress had been made on removing trees from the city since the 1956 “No Need for Trees” campaign spearheaded by Mayor Robert Wagner, who vowed to make New York “a modern city…
