The Humor Approval Office: Why Your Punchline Now Requires Federal Comedy Commission Clearance
WASHINGTON, D.C. — The punchline to your tweet has become less of a spontaneous creative expression and more of a regulatory filing requiring a three-page justification, two expert witnesses, and a $47 annual membership fee to the newly-formed Federal Comedy Commission (FCC-Comedy).
According to a draft memo released this morning, all punchlines containing more than six syllables must be submitted for review by the Office of Humor Safety Oversight before public distribution.
