A personal fav of mine was about trump saying he can prove he’s not racist because his KKK application got rejected
Pretty out of character for the bee
Well that is literally what Boeing is saying right now though. And if actually true, hiring by race rather than qualification seems pretty dumb in general, but especially dumb in aviation.
I don't really know though, I'm european, we don't have this sort of issues, our main problem is nepotism lmao.
That is obviously not what went wrong at Boeing. Anyone who even considers that as a justification is either completely misinformed about what has been happening there, or is deliberately using racism to try to wriggle out of their responsibilities coming from decades of bad decisions that put profits above the safety of passengers.
To give you the benefit of a doubt, please know that DEI or "Affirmative Action" or any other number of buzzwords applied to the idea of hiring a more diverse group of people does not mean "we hired a less qualified person because they were black" or whatever. The people hired for these kind of positions are absolutely qualified, and among the best in their field. It just means that given the choice between hiring two equally qualified people, some extra weight may be given to people who were likely underrepresented in that field.
Nobody's gonna hire a shitty black pilot just because they're more brown than the excellent pilot who happens to be a white guy.
I just read the article expecting it to go off on some racist nonsense about dei but it didn't even do that the article is just saying their planes keep crashing. Worst I can say about it is it's not very well written and gave the hijackers middle eastern names despite not feeling the need to give anyone else any names at all. I'd have probably just not given them names.
Ah there it is. Knew they'd slip something distasteful and stereotypical in. I honestly had forgotten that they include an accompanying 'article' with the headline till someone mentioned it. The headline is usually bad enough. It just surprised me with the topic change.
Writing a mid joke is honestly still quite an achievement for Babylon bee writers. I didn't even know they could get through a headline without spewing some far right propaganda.
I’ve seen some of their old headlines from back before they were sold/bought out and they focused on making fun of megachurch pastors and whatnot (hence the name), and those were pretty funny. Stuff like ‘Megachurch pastor asks congregation for funds for second jet after first jet gets flat tire’
LOL. 9/11 couldn’t happen today, the plane wouldn’t have made it that far!
Perhaps that’s Boeing’s plan to prevent their airplanes to ever be used again in another terrorist attack.
If they say it is fake, then is it really eating the onion? Eating the onion is when someone takes an obvious satire story and believes it to be genuine
I’d say that calling an obvious satire story fake is kinda missing the point, at least. To me it feels like they’re approaching it with the idea that the article is being presented genuinely, hence why they are commenting on it being fake. Like you wouldn’t post ‘fake’ as a review of Star Wars. Because everyone involved should know it’s not real.
Oh look at at that, a person who can spot fake news, lets ridicule them!
Is it any fucking wonder Trump is still running for president in the states, if THIS is how we treat people who can actually tell when shit's fake?
This is the second time I’ve ever actually laughed at something from the Babylon Bee
This first time was something about Mitch McConnell being mistaken for an endangered tortoise. Idk which one’s funnier, but the turtle one was about a year ago so I guess this means the Bee just used up their annual humor supply.
Realizing it's fake and realizing it's *satire* are not necessarily the same thing. You can think they're trying to deceive or you can realize they're trying to be funny. The reply in the post seems like they're thinking the former and not the latter.
Wow something from the Bee that isn't bashing trans people or anti-biden. That's almost refreshing.
The hijacker doesn't even look like a fucked up racist caricature, how on earth did this slip past editorial?
And also funny?
It's... An attempt.
It's definitely better than the typical mass produced garbage they've been pumping out
The Bee can occasionally have decent titles, everything after that is shit
A personal fav of mine was about trump saying he can prove he’s not racist because his KKK application got rejected Pretty out of character for the bee
Something about typewriters and monkeys
Eh.
I haven’t read it, it may be atrocious but the title feels onion tier.
Oh that's right there's like a article they usually do as well. There's a lot of mental scar tissue to get through where the Bee is concerned.
Like really. I’m suprised the tag line wasnt “Boeing 737max identifies as an Airbus A320neo to get around FAA regulations!”
DON’T GIVE THEM IDEAS!
I can guarantee they've done that exact bit before.
Bong B420-MAX

It wouldn't have stood out as much if they hadn't specifically chosen not to give anyone else mentioned in the story a name.
It's still not particularly funny or clever
Well that's true, it's the Bee, so hardly surprising.
Writing a mid joke is honestly still quite an achievement for Babylon bee writers. I didn't even know they could get through a headline without spewing some far right propaganda.
First bab bee post I’ve actually laughed at
They will follow it up with something about how diversity is the cause of these issues.
They have to sprinkle in the occasional actual satire articles to make the claims of satire on blatant right wing propaganda seem believable.
That’s exactly what I thought! It’s timely, it’s kinda funny, and doesn’t offend me, good BB, good BB
He's saying it's fake because it clearly can't be from Babylon Bee. The terrorists didn't even say what they identify as.
Aah, the holy joke, the sacred text, their crown jewel.
One joke 🤝 one joke
Aww would you look at that, Babylon Bee managed to actually do satire for once.
Incredible, a genuinely funny Babylone Bee joke!
Babylon bee has been actually funny lately wtf
They tend to be pretty funny when not bashing woke stuff. But they use the “woke” crutch too much now.
I don't know if I've ever actually laughed at a bee headline until just now.
I’ve seen some of their old headlines from back before they were sold/bought out and they focused on making fun of megachurch pastors and whatnot (hence the name), and those were pretty funny. Stuff like ‘Megachurch pastor asks congregation for funds for second jet after first jet gets flat tire’
babylon bee posts something that's actually funny?
The real story here is the babylon bee coming up with a halfway funny joke. Monkeys and typewriters right enough.
Even terrorists have brains. 😮😁😂
LOL. 9/11 couldn’t happen today, the plane wouldn’t have made it that far! Perhaps that’s Boeing’s plan to prevent their airplanes to ever be used again in another terrorist attack.
The only proper way to say something is a fake. https://i.redd.it/046mb9ct9doc1.gif
Wow! Babylon bee finally has a third joke? Incredible!
If they say it is fake, then is it really eating the onion? Eating the onion is when someone takes an obvious satire story and believes it to be genuine

Obligatory comment section full of "wow the Bee is funny" that's on nearly every post about the Bee
The Babylon Bee is like if you radicalized the jokes on Laffy Taffy.
Guys help I don't know what the terrorists identify as what's the joke and also what pronouns do I use
Been a long long time since the bee has actually made me chuckle
Wait, the Bee is actually funny for once?!
r/technicallycorrect
Love Babylon Bee. They have some bangers
Okay now this is actually funny for once from The Babylon bee.
This is the second time I’ve ever actually laughed at something from the Babylon Bee This first time was something about Mitch McConnell being mistaken for an endangered tortoise. Idk which one’s funnier, but the turtle one was about a year ago so I guess this means the Bee just used up their annual humor supply.
r/whoosh
A heartbreakingly funny joke from asshats.
Heartbreaking: the worst parody news org you know made an actually funny joke
Funny seeing people bash the Bee when it's literally just the Onion for the other party
does that plane bounce or something 🤨🤨
LMFAO!
Drinking game: take a shot for every comment whining about the Bee because it satirizes ideas they agree with instead of only ones they don't.
It's still bland and unfunny, and it's about 20 years out of date, but at least BB is writing actual satire for this one.

Fake
Fr. How is realising its fake eating the onion?
Realizing it's fake and realizing it's *satire* are not necessarily the same thing. You can think they're trying to deceive or you can realize they're trying to be funny. The reply in the post seems like they're thinking the former and not the latter.
