(Parody) DNC announces virtual delegates will be in attendance at convention

[Disclaimer: This article is a parody story. While some events in this article are actually taking place, it is written for comedy purposes and shouldn’t be taken too seriously.] 


The Democratic National Committee announced virtual “delegates” will attend the Democratic National Convention in Milwaukee.   

The Democratic leaders got the idea after Fox Sports used virtual “fans” in stands in order to get a sense of “normalcy” at MLB games during Opening Week last week.

The cameras showed the computer-generated fans during the broadcast of baseball games on Fox to give the appearance of packed stadiums, even though the stadiums were empty except for the teams and team personnel.

Cutaway shots revealed the empty seats in the stadiums. 

“We wanted to maintain a sense of normalcy in these hard times caused by Trump and his virus,” DNC Chair Tim Perez said, claiming Trump for the Coronavirus, “so the best thing is to show CGI delegates attending our convention.

“They are more life-like than if we had actual delegates attending the event,” he added.

At publishing time, late-night comedy hosts announced they will also start using virtual “audiences,” complete with laugh tracks and clapping tracks.

“No more filming shows while I’m naked in the bathtub,” comedian Stephen Colbert told CNN, who was revealed to not be funny after he (Colbert) filmed his show as he took a bath during the Coronavirus lockdown. “Now I’ll just look out at the empty seats and imagine people laughing at my jokes.

“So what if people say I’m not funny and think I’m a bitter, angry man?” Jimmy Kimmel told ABC News. “They’ll see I have plenty of fans, even if they aren’t real fans.”

The Best Christmas Pageant Ever (2024) Review

The movie starts by introducing us to the Herdmans, a group of poor kids who are the worst kids in town. Even the girls.   Told through the narration of the main protagonist, Beth Bradley, the Herdmans are bullies and juvenile delinquents who spend their time terrorizing the other kids and the townspeople.  Everyone in town hates them, especially the parishioners and busy-body mothers at the local Christian parish.  That changes as the film progresses and our main characters see the Herdmans in a new light as they become involved in the town’s local Christmas pageant.  Sadly, Grace Bradley is forced to take over the pageant after Mrs. Armstrong breaks her legs.  When the Herdmans join the Christmas pageant under the motivation of receiving free food and desserts by going to church, somewhere nobody expected the Herdmans to show their faces, every expects the worst to happen.  However, once the pageant comes around, the entire town has a newfound...

Movie Review: The 5th Wave as Anti-Military propaganda

This article was originally published on June 9, 2017. Normally a story that involves humans fighting seemingly invincible aliens warrants a good story. You'd also think the military would be there to protect Americans. But before long, it becomes clear to the protagonists in “The 5th Wave (2016)” that Americans should resist the military, that the soldiers are the real enemy to humanity. "The 5th Wave," based on the Rick Yancey novel of the same name, follows a long line of Hollywood's assaults on the honor and integers of the brave men and women who fight for their country. Unfortunately, most of Hollywood hasn't limited their attacks to five. The film centers around a young girl who sets out to find her brother after their father is killed in a massacre carried out by military forces. Right after the parents do the natural thing and resist being separated from their children forever. This is the director's way of telli...
