📰 In today's funny and weird news that will never become real headlines, we will...
—have a giggle at Canadian tow truck turf wars that sound more like a Breaking Bad spinoff than a real thing
—look at some terrible art that nearly won the Turner Prize - the highest award in British art
-—laugh along with young, good-spirited Bolivian musicians at their own predicament of being trapped in a 600-year-old German palace
#funnynews #sarcasm #weirdnews

We'll also...
—discover unexpected facts about the creepy MyPillow guy
—have casual updates on Chrissy Teigen's body parts
—question J.K. Rowling's new children's story series
—find out exactly what to do when struck with repetitive tinnitus thanks to a funny ad

I'm an admittedly very fortunate and privileged person stuck at home with absolutely no extra time on my hands, so I made this video. No really, I have less time than usual despite the stay-at-home order. I may need to mark when I'm not being sarcastic.

🚨 DISCLAIMER 🚨
News stories from the internet today are more important than ever and deeply affect many people. In no way is this video meant to detract from those stories or disrespect those involved and/or affected. I'm simply not an authority on these subjects and will never pretend to be; I just enjoy finding strange news stories hiding in plain sight and sharing them as a brief intermission from the absolute insanity and injustice going on today. Keep fighting the good fight, stay safe, and listen to each other. ✌️❤️

📺 About this series
------------------
For the first time in our history, thanks to technology and connectivity, we are collectively experiencing all the global human suffering and have yet to evolve in order to process it all without feeling the weight of it on our psyches. Diversion Alert serves as a respite from it not out of disregard for real issues, but as solely a snippet of medicating amusement.
