Hey do you remember that time that Fox News tried to launch a conservative version of The Daily Show? Don't worry neither does anybody else.

Jesus! Can you believe that somebody thought that was a good idea?

This short lived show was called the 1/2 News hour, and it was picked up by Roger Ailes and Fox News after the Fox Broadcasting Company. (Smart move Fox Broadcasting Network.)

I swear that canned laughter is left over from the fifties, which means they are only hearing laughter from mostly long dead people. Which is not that far off from their usual demographic over at Fox News.

Here is what Wikipedia says about the recurring bits from the show, which started in February 2007 and was mercifully pulled off the air in September of 2007:

  • Conspiracy Corner - segments where a guest presents generally-accepted information about a topic, and that information is treated as far-fetched by the host, who holds stereotypical left-wing views.
  • Guy White: Closet Conservative — a cartoon featuring a conservative man working in an office in which everyone else is a liberal caricature.
  • Hollywood Helping Humanity — satirical public service announcements featuring actors endorsing dubious causes, such as recycling breast implants. Actors appearing in this sketch include Leyla Milani, Ken Davitian, Ian Ziering, and Lorenzo Lamas.
  • I'm the ACLU — satirical advertisements "boasting" of controversial causes supported by the ACLU. Presidential Addresses — Radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh had a recurring cameo role as the President, with conservative pundit Ann Coulter as his Vice President.

Seriously, WHO would find any of that entertaining?

You know they say that conservatives have no sense of humor, but apparently they felt the need to go out in prove just in case there was anybody who not positive it was true.
