5503 - Birds Aren't Real


A week of jokes, Saturday jokes, Sunday jokes... NOW WHAT?! ARRRGGGGHHHHH!

So did anyone see 60 Minutes last night? Their last segment about the counter conspiracy theory movement called "Birds Aren't Real"? It must be true, you can buy t-shirts.


The movement started out as a joke and then took off. It took off because people are fed up with conspiracy theories. You know, the ones that are real.

Did you know birds are government drones that are spying on you and when they land on electrical wires that's when they are recharging themselves? Eh?! Did you KNOW?!

Anyway, the guy that started it was on 60 Minutes last night so if you want to watch the segment go to 

The website where you can buy t-shirts is https://birdsarentreal.com/.

And it seems the guy held a rally here in St. Louis and I MISSED IT! Crap!

I missed it. And hope (fervently) that birds ARE real.

Sue - They are real. Real CIA drones. Trust me. I read it on the internet.

River said...

it's truly astonishing what some people believe.

I'm still waiting for the hummingbird drones to start visiting my feeder. I filled the feeder with fresh, high-viscosity motor oil and everything.

Oh yes, I've heard of this -- it's a great satire!

Martha said...

If professor Google or professor Facebook say it is true, then it must be!

So the bird poop on my windshield every morning isn't real either. Good to know.

Yowza. Thanks for posting that, Mike. I just thoroughly enjoyed it. That young man and his friends are remarkable. Clearly, those so called birds are powered by power lines. Their movement is believable for the most paranoid. I might need the t-shirt. (Fortunately, my first name isn't spelled the same as the robin bird.)
Have a great week, my friend.

If I can enjoy them they are real enough.

OMG- what next! (And what are the pheasants that visit my garden - wait they must be mini tanks 😂).

That is so awesome I can hardly stand it :D

And I'm sure there are people who will take it literally and believe every word, and others who will see the joke but not see the parallel to their own lunacy.

River - I don't know if I can be astonished anymore.

Bill - I hope it's not synthetic oil. They need the real thing.

Deb - NO! It's real!!!

Martha - Absolutely.

Shaw - There's secret messages in there. You have to look closer.

RR - Yes indeed.

Robyn - You need t-shirts on your site. I have some ideas for them.

Cloudia - Just remember to smile for the camera.

CC - These days it's dangerous to ask what's next.

Jenny - I'm sure you can find a few people that think this is real.
