John Stewart announced a kickstarter to buy CNN for 10 billion dollars. I'd suggest he should just ask how much Fareed Zakaria would cost.

Whoa, Green Lantern made a kickstarter? Ah, you meant Jon Stewart. Still pretty cool.

It's not an actual kickstarter, it's a parody one with its own website that doesn't actually let you donate. http://www.letsbuycnn.com/

Aren't parodies supposed to be...I dunno, humorous? Funny? At the very least capable of eliciting some minor amount of amusement?

Actually, no. A parody may have the sole intent to criticize something, or be spiteful. Its function is to mock something.

Usually the mockery of a parody is the subject itself, but in this case the thing being parodied is Kickstarter, while the thing being criticized is, news cable I think.

Also, humor is subjective. So, people may find this one funny, and others might not, believe it or not.

EDIT: this link may be helpful.

I considered it but I thought it would have misunderstood as snarky... yeah, let's go with that.

I'm sorry but there are too many le memes in that video for me to survive watching the entirety of it.

I only spotted one le funny meme xD. Give it another shot. I think it's worth watching all the way through.

I'm tempted to back just to tell him that you can get one of those for a lot cheaper.  Like $3000, not $15,000

I don't think I've ever seen a kickstarter this bad before,  Watch the video, it'll give you a good laugh.

[Dutchling]

That's just... sad :c

Yeah, it looks like that's his mom in the background.

Also, someone added him on facebook and asked some questions about the project,

The guy seems to be legitimately crazy.

[BlitzDungeoneer]

Part holy dragon, eh?
And he's in his human form now...
Seems legit.
Unless he's trolling them.

[Dutchling]

Well at least we now know he's skepticle.

[Draco18s]

The pictures are great too.

"High tech touchscreens" and "high tech intercooler."

Wait, what?  What the hell does he need an intercooler for?  It's to dissipate heat in a multistage heating process.  Like your car's engine (turbochargers and superchargers suck in so much air that it heats up before it even gets to the engine, so an intercooler is used to compensate).

[Sergarr]

Silly human, holy dragons don't exist! Holy isn't a color.

If he said that he was a black dragon I would have praised him in his immune-to-all-magic glory.
