When cartoon characters are the only thing that differentiates satire and reality, well, that, and overly articulate seven-year-olds:

Are you sure that's not another Onion article??? If not, it should be!
But wait! I'll just bet you'll find some here defending the FBI's choice. |

FWIW, it says parody at the end. (I mean, it was sort of obvious from the get go.)
Still, it would be entertaining to know how many took the article seriously. In gdw's defense, he did say / insinuate that it was a satirical story.

I thought I was clear that it was satirical. Sorry for the confusion.
Though, as I also implied, it is not at all far off from the reality of the Liberty Dollar case.

Is there a pop quiz? I've been following it off and on for several years. I think I even started a thread here about it, years ago.

Sounds vaguely familiar...
That Cheese dude's been running a strange outfit for years. Some kind of strange robot puppet union business. I hear Hoffa is still somewhere in the ball crawl.

You guys do realise pretty much everything (aside from the obvious) that article is DIRECTLY from the Liberty Dollar case, right?

Balducci is correct. We all see the major differences, well all of us but one I guess.

From The Crittopolis Herald:
Quote:
Charles Edwin Chesterfield, alias 'Chuck E Cheese', alias 'Charlie the Rat', has been implicated by former employees Helen Henny and Jasper T. Jowls in the disappearance of union leader Jimmy Hoffa in late July of 1975. According to the sources, the members of the 'Chuck E Cheese Experience' band had been meeting with Hoffa to discuss strategies in hopes of implementing a robot puppet entertainers' union. It is alleged that Mr. Cheese discovered the plot and created a note forging the signature of one 'Mr. Munch' to lure Mr. Hoffa to the attraction known as the ball pit. The sources allege that Mr. Cheese and several hired union busters then secured Mr. Hoffa in chains and 'cement shoes' and pushed him into the ball pit. According to the sources, Mr. Hoffa sunk into the ball pit 'as if it were quicksand' and has not been seen since. Chilling stuff.

Re read balducci's post Glenn that is all the enlightenment that you need or should need. That is if you can grasp it at all.
