Keep grinding,
I hope you level up! :)
I don't want to criticize Asterios in particular, but this article shows the problem with Donald Trump articles...

http://www.somethingawful.com/news/trump-tax-returns/

The problem with Donald Trump articles is, for the most part, that it is hard to satirize someone who is at the same time self-parody, and has apparently fooled almost half the country with it. This article points out that Donald Trump is a cartoon villain, but we don't need comedy articles to point that out, we just need to read the news.

And also, because SA's own comedy style has evolved from vintage "Middle School Lunchroom" to a more ironic, absurd form of comedy, it is kind of hard to make jokes about someone who is basically the master of the Middle School Lunchroom.

To be fair, I laughed at the article a few times. It may be low hanging fruit but he had fun with it

There is currently a magic word to sell all forms of written word... Include that word in the title and watch the money roll in.

It's really surreal to watch Donald Trump jokes become more tired and overused in one political primary than Bush jokes over the course of eight years.

Not to say I don't detest Donald Trump's campaign, but the fruit hangs so low you could trip over it.

You must stay drunk on writing so reality cannot destroy you.
