Curated by Morag Sinclair | The London Prat on YouTube

Today’s comedy turns voters into an electoral hazard, launches corn identification into orbit and discovers that parking a car now requires a computer science degree. Here are ten sharp satirical reads.

1. Protecting elections from the dangerous influence of voters — McSweeney’s

   The greatest threat to a perfectly controlled election turns out to be the public insisting on voting. A gleefully inverted argument follows electoral paranoia to its logical, deeply undemocratic destination.

2. NASA hired to find corn farmers can see from the kitchen window — Farm.FM

   Washington points satellites at America’s fields while a farmer asks whether the space programme can find his lost wrench. The joke lands on the distance between expensive federal technology and everyday farm economics.

3. Parking apps turn loose change into passwords and extra fees — The London Prat

   Replacing a coin-operated meter with a smartphone app somehow creates more steps, more charges and less convenience. The digital revolution has reinvented parking as an unpaid IT support shift.

4. Genetically enhanced military dogs meet the neighbourhood mailman — Bohiney News

   Cloned superdogs promise a new age of working-animal performance, but the letter carrier still has only a canvas bag and a suspiciously short head start. The arms race has reached the front porch.

5. Army haunted house frightens soldiers with spouses saying “I’m fine” — Duffel Blog

   Ghosts and chainsaws are replaced by forgotten anniversaries, moving boxes and voluntary obligations that are not voluntary. Nobody can escape the room until they work out what they did wrong.

6. Corporate sustainability strategy becomes refusing to mention sustainability — Made Up News

   A company responds to environmental scrutiny by retiring its environmental announcements. It is a magnificent corporate innovation: fewer promises to measure, fewer awkward questions to answer.

7. Small-town bar patrons may be in Halloween costumes or everyday clothes — ClickHole

   At a rural dive bar, the line between costume party and regular Wednesday disappears completely. The investigation produces a compelling conclusion: absolutely nobody knows.

8. Ordinary Britons propose their own improvements to the national budget — The Daily Mash

   The public offers fiscal innovations ranging from free crisps to prettier government paperwork. Britain has finally discovered a way to make the Budget debate even less numerate.

9. Dentist deploys carrier pigeon and smoke signals for appointment reminders — Babylon Bee

   The modern medical office uses every communications technology ever devised to remind one patient about a check-up. The appointment may be routine, but the reminder system has become a military operation.

10. Solar-panel animal-frying claim gets roasted online — The Poke

    A presidential remark about solar panels and animals sparks a cascade of online jokes. The reactions supply a renewable energy source of their own: political ridicule.
