The Rules

...their original headlines, that...
...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

Greg Daniels absolutely needs to do an Afghani adaptation of The Office. It would absolutely kill and be like my fave series of all time. This whole situation is beyond absurd and mundane and also insanely great c/LeopardsAteMyFace fodder

How amazing would it be if office culture/politics was the thing (particularly "Western thing") that eventually compelled the Taliban to throw in the towel and start doing something productive + peace

Who would you cast as the Jim and the Dwight? I'm thinking Hasan Minhaj and Romesh Ranganathan.

One's Indian and the other's Sri Lankan, but it's close enough for Hollywood/BBC, amirite? 😛
