Cheney to Join Wolfram & Hart. TeeVee.org has a fantastic April Fool's "news story" about Wolfram & Hart's newest CEO.

Nice, Rob, thanks for my best laugh of the day. Well, a laugh, but then followed by one of those sinking feelings, you know the kind I mean...

*snicker, snort*

*sigh*

"Wolfram & Hart and I share a common vision for the future of this planet, and I believe that together, nothing can stop us from achieving our mutual goals."

Oh, Angel, can't you shut him in a room with Darla and Dru?

you damned liberals! Dick Cheney is the most patriotic VP ever, and you Whedon-wimps are nothing but appeasers! that's right, you'd have just let the Islamofascist vamps HAVE Sunnydale, wouldn'tcha? "let's just go to the Bronze and party", while vamps that we *could have dusted over there* wind up feeding over here!

happy April Fool's, all! :)

So incredibly fitting. I especially loved the last line.

Bwah ha ha ha ha!

Have the standards dropped?

Tonya J | April 02, 03:34 CET

Hee hee.

It is rumored that the senior partners are worried he also has his eye on their hitherto unquestioned positions. Cheney denied these rumors, saying he's more than happy to operate as CEO, and leave them with the illusion that they are running things.

Satan v. the Senior Partners. Wotta battle!

I particularly liked the "Most Popular Stories" sidebar: Sunnydale Crater Vigil Enters 1,245th Increasingly Creepy Day

But like all the best April 1st media, it works because it's so damned close to what could happen. Now we know exactly who funded certain election campaigns. And mystically-altered ballots in Florida. Demon chads anyone?

Demon chads!! Love it Gill.
Very amusing- gave me a much needed giggle. Did anyone notice the byline: William T. Bluddhey. Nice. :)

That is a full on site actually, and the whole site is as funny as that one article.

They've got everything from The Office to Veronica to Galactica on there. Fantastic.

NightTraveler | April 02, 04:40 CET

And all this time I thought Cheney WAS the Senior Partner.

barboo | April 02, 06:34 CET

AHA! I always KNEW he was a member of The Circle Of The Black Thorn!

*Arch Duke Sebassis? Cyrus Vail? I'm thinking Cyrus Vail.*

bring Marcus Hamilton (with new and improved assistant Caleb) back from the dead, and I'll be willing to forgive Cheney for a few things.

Sabri3l | April 02, 08:03 CET

Hee!

Although I must say: "Islamofascist vamps" and "demon chads...."
I think this thread just became as funny as the article.

Isn't Lilah supposed to be um, completely dead?

GreatMuppetyOdin | April 02, 10:17 CET

Oh, Angel, can't you shut him in a room with Darla and Dru?

I don't know, QuoterGal. Given that his only other option is most likely his 19th major coronary, might that not be a rather pleasant option by his creepy lights? Also, there's the possibility that they might turn him, since he such he's such a bad boy.

dreamlogic | April 02, 11:59 CET

Thanks, Rob, that's my favourite April Fool's News story so far !

Shade of Pale | April 02, 12:09 CET

Made my day!!!

Shey | April 02, 15:06 CET

I dunno, dreamlogic, I think Darla and Dru would be fussier than that. They seemed to look for a bit more than just bad.

toast | April 02, 15:15 CET

I was thinking the same thing Vince.

mlcmoose | April 02, 17:12 CET

Oh my God, that was absolutely brilliant.

Let's just hope he doesn't go quail hunting. We all know how that ends.

UnpluggedCrazy | April 02, 17:52 CET

I had been thinking of the possible link between Cheney and WR & H for awhile, and I'm a Republican.

mei_mei | April 02, 18:04 CET

My sides are still aching from the laughing out loud. Hope Wolfram & Hart can lower it's standards to include him as a new addition. Bravo !!!! Way to make my day !

AncientMagicks | April 02, 18:51 CET

Oh my Bob, mlcmoose! That's just eerie! And a bit creepifying.

GreatMuppetyOdin | April 03, 02:30 CET

toast, you've reassured me.

dreamlogic | April 03, 08:50 CET

Hi-larious! Yep, that whole site rocked. Great link, Rob!

billz | April 03, 12:33 CET

Funniest thing I've seen in ages!
