I just thought this was too funny, in a PN sorta way. Here we have the networks and fox news racing in sleds drawn by sheep. Get it? It's the sheep that give them all their power. And there's the sly little fox, proudly leading the pack in sheep-power. Oh, the irony.

Hey, hey, hey, don't be mean. We don't have to be mean, because, remember, no matter where you go, there you are.

I think it's also suggesting that CNN is communist and MSNBC is green or environmental (? Maybe). The ones racing appear to be what executives at Fox consider mainstream news channels.

It wouldn't surprise me if this was Fox's own representation of what it really thinks of it's views, but I'm not sure about the source of this card. I think I might want to confirm it.

EDIT: Looks legitimate. The sheep part of it is telling.

America loves a winner!

Sheep ? Maybe mountain goats, but sheep ? They widdle legs and hooves wouldn't seem to be so very well suited for snow sledding.

Huskies and sled dogs, clearly would be a better choice. ( Right, Niki? )

If I were in charge of drawing up those cards, I'd have had FOX being pulled by huskies, reindeer elephants... anything but sheep.

Seriously, who came up with sheep? I'm figuring the artist was just too lazy or incompetent to draw any of the more likely critters, so they went with fluffy little sheeps. Fail.

Re the sheep, maybe they are being honest for a change? Hehe.

Lol. hk, anthony.

That's what a ship is, you know - it's not just a keel and a hull and a deck and sails, that's what a ship needs.
