 Humor Gazette buys The Daily Palin for $315M
The Humor Gazette, the underground media/satire
conglomerate that claims to trace its roots to the Revolutionary
War, has purchased The Daily Palin for a reported $315 million.
The blockbuster deal shocked media analysts,
coming amid speculation that the controversial Palin satire
site was about to be gobbled up by one of the handful of
media companies that now own everything.
In addition to stock options, sources say
the mega-sale included five caribou pelts, a box of guns
and an undisclosed sum of cash rumored to be in excess of
$4.
Humor Gazette CEO John Breneman said the acquisition
made financial sense despite Palin's plummeting approval
numbers, because her disapproval numbers are skyrocketing.
Polls show Americans equally divided on whether Palin will
run for president, foment an armed revolution or goad some
maniac into taking a shot at "Death Panel" Obama.
"Obviously, since Tucson, Palin is just
not even remotely funny anymore," he said. "But
as long as she keeps firing off hateful, incoherent rants
against the president -- and the media keeps lapping it
up -- she's a hot commodity." The Daily Palin also
offers Palin products ranging from "Gall
of Duty" video games to Sarah's
Super-Sensitive In-Your-Face Cream for Ultra-Thin Skin,
and a parody book titled "(Real)
America By Heart: Reflections on (Exploiting) Family Faith
and Flag (For Fun & Profit)."
Sources say The Daily Palin's head writer
is taking an indefinite medical leave to combat ailments
(including malignant soul
weevils) triggered by Palin's rare ability to spread
cancer without actually having it.
Headquartered in New York, Los Angeles and
London, with brand-new international bureaus popping up
in skyscrapers from Dusseldorf and Dubai, the Humor Gazette
is also said to be eyeing The Daily Romney, Gingrich Aficionado
and The Huckabee Post.
