Hating on Glenn Beck, in Meter
Really don’t like Glenn Beck? Write a poem about it.
Such is the conceit of Haik U Glenn Beck, a crowd-sourced collection of hundreds of haikus dedicated to the conspiracy-minded Fox News host.
Ticked off by a recent exhortation by Beck to listeners of his syndicated radio show to “run” from churches that employ the term “social justice” on their Web pages, Jewish Funds for Justice created a site that allows witty Beck-haters a creative outlet for their dislike.
Some of our favorites:
And Jesus said to
All his hungry disciples
“Hands off my fish, chumps”
By drudgedevoHurling expensive
coffee at the expensive
TV screen now, Ahhh.
