Welcome to the News community!

Rules:

1. Be civil


Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.


2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.


Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.


3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.


Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.


4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.


Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.


5. Only recent news is allowed.


Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.


6. All posts must be news articles.


No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.


7. No duplicate posts.


If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.


8. Misinformation is prohibited.


Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.


9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.


All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.


10. Don't copy entire article in your post body


For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

Tonight on “Don’t be gay, kids.”….

It'll be "the passion of the Christ" 24/7

[–] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 15 points 2 years ago (1 children)

And Clucky Tales.

Like Veggie Tales, but with animated chickens and turkeys. gotta drop the product placement, afterall.

[–] Icalasari@fedia.io 6 points 2 years ago

With extra hate thrown in

"Remember children! The gays are actually demons! If you meet a gay, say no way!"

[–] einlander@lemmy.world 19 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Christian Broadcasting Network part 2

[–] Fester@lemm.ee 4 points 2 years ago

Maybe they can take the 700 Club off Freeform and then shut down.

Totally underated comment.

[–] BarrierWithAshes@fedia.io 19 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yeah well see if anything comes out of it. I don't trust chicken companies that try to jump to tech.

I'm still waiting on my KFC gaming console.

[–] getoffthedrugsdude@lemmy.ml 6 points 2 years ago

In the meantime you could play the KFC dating sim

[–] EpicMuch@sh.itjust.works 17 points 2 years ago

I wonder if they will start syndicating Robot Chicken. Or The Kentucky Fried Movie.

[–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 11 points 2 years ago

What a stupid idea. I hope they blow lots of money on it and it fails. But they'll probably do well with evangelicals and make a pile of money.

[–] cabron_offsets@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Oh cool, I’ll pirate that, too. Nah fuck it, what in the goddamn fuck is gonna be worthwhile about this?

[–] Icalasari@fedia.io 9 points 2 years ago

Considering how heavily Psychotic Flavoured Christian they are?

It'll be a gold mine for shit post memes

The world needs more chicken sandwich based unscripted dramas. This will probably not be a massive disaster.

[–] mercano@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

Sounds perfect to watch on a KFConsole.

[–] billiam0202@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

They're planning on lauching it in Canada.

It will be called "Flick & Chill, Eh?"

[–] ISOmorph@feddit.org 4 points 2 years ago
[–] themeatbridge@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

$400k for unscripted shows? That doesn't seem like very much.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Per show, I think. Still cheap though.

[–] themeatbridge@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Like per episode? For crew, editing, production, sets, even without writers, that's still barely worth it.

I mean, you could film a podcast style show like Hot Ones, but getting celebrities on the show costs money, too.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

It's entirely non-union. They pay peanuts.
