But credibility doesn't matter in satire. Anyone can be funny.
The “organic” mislabel stopped being funny when college students did not understand how the polystyrene lab was an organic chemistry experiment because the end product was, in one student’s words, “a fake plastic”. We at WAOC realized the hippies and pseudo-hippies had entirely co-opted “organic” when the hippie definition of “organic” was listed BEFORE the actual definition of “organic” in the Merriam-Webster Dictionary.Of course, if you think the beer you will drink tonight is ORGANIC as opposed to, you know, organic, you will not find any of this funny at all.
