1. From The Richmond Democrat: Breaking News! The Village People to add new character!
“We are looking for something contemporary,” said Ray Simpson (aka “The Policeman”). “We want our new character to emblematic, something that the American public would immediately recognize, that’s why we chose to make the new seventh character for the group a closeted gay Republican.” The new character will be outfitted with a standard issue Republican charcoal gray business suit for most occasions but, “sometimes he’ll just dress like Tucker Carlson in khakis and penny loafers: those bow ties are to die for!”
