Millions of Americnas are too poor to buy cartoons. So we passed the Affordable cartoon act. Starting Jan 1 everyone will be required to buy cartoons. Man 1: I already buy cartoons. Man 2: If you like your current cartoons you can keep 'em. Man 1: Huh, my cartoons just got canceled. Man 2: "Hi and Lois" is crap. Crap doesn't count. By cartoons we mean "good cartoons" Man 1: But you said- Man 2: That you can keep your existing cartoons. And you can. You can "keep" them- to yourself. Man 1: How much will these much better cartoons cost? Man 2: Whatever the cartoonist feels like. But if you're poor, you'll get subsidy. Man 1: I'm not poor. Man 2: So pay. People who do't pay cartoons will be fined. Man 1: Ok. How do I buy these cartoons? Man 2: Through the website. Which is down. Man 1: If you want to sell us cartoons, why doesn't the website work? Man 2: Fining is easier than drawing.
