Usain Bolt gave a short speech at Herb Allens Sun Valley Conference. He was great.
--- snip ---
Usain Bolt: I see Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner are in the house.
-Some applause.-
Usain Bolt: Jared, I bet right now you wish you could run as fast as me.
-Laughs.-
Usain Bolt: Unfortunately, you cant run from controversy, my friend. Colluding with the Russians, huh?
Herb Allen (off mic): Were not talking about politics tonight, Usain.
Usain Bolt: OK, Herb. Ill lay off the traitor. Funny, you never hear about governments colluding with the Jamaicans. We probably had a lot of the same information on Hillary but were always so baked its hard to keep it straight. Right? But I kid the people of my homeland
-Laughs.-

(14,923 posts)Ussain Bolt, btw, just received ESPY's Best International Atlete award a couple of days ago. He is obviously blessed with extraordinary physical gifts, but he has also worked his tail off for years to achieve his success. Jarvanka fell out of the womb into a pile of money, and would not have any status or celebrity based on their own achievements. And they repay the world for their rare good fortune by selling out our country to an adversary for cash and personal perks. Good on Ussain for "going there" and publicly calling out a traitor.

(36,476 posts)Poe's law is an adage of Internet culture stating that, without a clear indicator of the author's intent, it is impossible to create a parody of extreme views so obviously exaggerated that it cannot be mistaken by some readers or viewers as a sincere expression of the parodied views.

(36,116 posts)I'm curious because I'm not that familiar with Bolt
DUers don't always indicate when something is parody, so I'm never sure

(58,724 posts)Is a parody site that runs this kind of thing all the time.
Also, common sense.
On Day 2 of the Sun Valley event, the fake blog reported on a production of the Rocky Horror Show with Barry Diller playing Frank, Brian Grazer playing Riff Raff and Sheryl Sandberg playing Janet (with the Meatloaf role going to Harvey Weinstein).

(14,923 posts)so had no context. I think there's a difference between satire and just making up stuff about random people like Usain Bolt.
