There are some great parody sites out there and we have covered most of them, from The Babylon Bee to Sean Spicier, but there is a new and smaller ‘parody’ account called The Racine Times that is self-described as:
‘If the New York Times opened a field bureau in middle America, this is what would make the news.’
Recently the paper came up with a scathing story about Apple removing the eggplant emoji because it is sexist and insensitive, and people lost their damn minds:
Apple Removes Eggplant Emoji Over Concerns About Safety and Inclusiveness. pic.twitter.com/QlW50PnWyy

Safety and inclusiveness.
Heh.
You know why this one worked so well? Because we wouldn’t put it past Apple to do such a thing.
See for yourself:
I'm going to sound stupid as hell but here hoes, what's offensive about eggplant?

Not a damn thing.
But that doesn’t mean it couldn’t happen at Apple.
Twitter hardest hit.

Oh, we have plenty of words, but they keep getting lost in all of the laughter.

And that’s why what The Racine Times is doing is so damn brilliant.
