Is parody dead?

The White House releases the image of Obama with a gun… Republicans mock, some Democrats shocked. But the Administration put an official government warning on the photo: Do. Not. Photoshop.

That warning hasn’t stopped freedom of speech from marching on. As a matter of fact an explosion or irrelevant and mocking hilarity has ensued on the Internet and especially Twitter..

Did the White House really think telling people online not to make a joke of a president would be an action treated seriously by the masses, the sarcastic asses?
