Lefties Losing it: Pronouns crusade

Sky News host Rita Panahi, says this "mam" with this rousing story declares they were called sir and corrected the customer, "actually it's ma'am," and everyone applauded.

"And then everyone clapped" has been shorthand for "this is a tall tale" FOR YEARS. And you all took the bait, like it is serious. A normal response to that TikTok would be, "it's true. I was the handcuffs."

[tomza]

That was so clearly a joke. How does a human being with a brain look at that tik tok and not understand that she's taking the piss?

I thought everyone would understand that video was a joke, but no, a serious news presenter and everyone else watching fell for it hook, line and sinker.

[angelinaantonizio]

the fact that you’re a reporter and can’t identify sarcasm is extremely concerning. how did you even manage to make the same joke, while still letting hers fly right over your head? lmao

[tylerstalinescu]

How in the world did sky news and all these comments not see through this obvious joke?

[rebbi]

The fact that none of the people working on this figured out that this was a joke is proof that y’all are not qualified to speak on this issue whatsoever 😭

[lugialover]

Wow, y'all couldn't think of anything else better to report on than what was obviously a joke? Great job

[-._.-_.-_]

Not only did you call her a man, but you made a report on national TV for a video that was CLEARLY a joke. 🤦‍♂️ What happened to actual journalism and reporting?

[velorum]

the fact that such an obvious joke was on tv is actually the scariest fucking shit

[hasodium]

conservatives understand jokes challenge (IMPOSSIBLE)

[Conwock]

How does this even air? Did she come into work like “hey guys, i saw something on tiktok, let’s single out a vulnerable minority on the news”

[Amieee]

Me when I’m dumb and miss the joke entirely

[mimisadventure]

Remember, the people from Sky News can vote 💀

[minimonkey]

Why do all of the people in the comments not understand that the person in the video was joking? Like, it went over your head and the heads of everyone who approved the segment, but to everyone under the age of 35, it was as obvious as a knock knock joke 😂

[fategg]

shes not lying I was there and we all cheered especially when the cops tackled the customer to the ground

[nathandix]

How did they not understand this was a joke

[nancyolivia]

How does this news anchor have 700 years of life experience and still not know what a joke is

[relynco]

the way they miss jokes so hard 😭😭 like bro you MADE THE SAME type of joke back

[LaJoie]

I can't believe this ancient artifact from weird FB/Reddit still fools people. Ayden you wee legend ❤️

[ShaDHP]

Apparently the video she's covering is a parody, but would you really be surprised if it weren't?
