A remake of "Pineapple Express" where all the characters are anthropomorphic dinosaurs entitled "Cretaceous Superchron"

EDIT:
another idea:

A bathroom themed faux exercise-video parodying P90X entitled "Pee Ninety Times"

The world's businessmen and political leaders are all secretly undead, that's why they dress like someone who's about to be buried

How about an X-Men type superhero film where the superhero gene only gives you powers if you have only one copy of it. If you have two copies of the gene it just makes you super crippled.

(Sort of akin to the malaria-immunity-and-sickle-cell-anemia gene, or the cholera-resistence-and-cystic-fibrosis gene in real life)

*Horror film concept: An insane neat freak gradually starts murdering all the people in their life who do not spark joy in them

*Superhero film about a character who is the logical extension of the Incredible Hulk from Marvel Comics and the Beast from the Unbreakable trilogy. The character has many different personalities and every one of them has a different superpower. The character would be stupidly overpowered if they were sane and able to use any of their powers at will, but as is each is tied to a different personality.

*A sitcom about a workplace where the early morning shift are all space aliens and the late night shift are all vampires

*A combination of a televangelist faith healing program, and an ad for a dubious penis enlargement drug. (Something like RL televangelist Peter Popoff's "Miracle Spring Water" bit, except instead of the people on the program claiming that the water healed them, they're claiming that it made their penis grow)

To the initial question, the answer is "no". We've always needed information this fast, it just hasn't been available this fast until now. That's why technology advanced so slowly for most of history. It's also why we have racism; for thousands of years most people were reliant on unreliable fifth-hand information for their information about other cultures, and cultures were more different from one another because different cultures would solve the same problems at different times and in different ways. Most of the instances where the native americans got shit on wouldn't have happened if european technology had reached them before the europeans did, instead of at the same time.

Regarding news specifically, there are definitely some historical battles that happened due to one or both sides not knowing that the war had ended, and faster communication would have prevented these (Sir Henry Morgan's assault on Panama, for example)

EDIT:
Slight correction to the end of the first paragraph, I mentioned "european technology" but was also thinking of firearms and those are technically a chinese and korean technology

A story wherein it is general knowledge that the earth has been under siege by space aliens for years. However, nobody has actually seen any aliens. This is because there actually are no aliens. What actually happened was that at some point the populace en masse just started attributing natural and manmade disasters like hurricanes and sea-level rise to alien death beams

A mockumemtary about business attire which claims, among other things, that the purpose of the necktie is to facilitate autoerotic asphyxiation in the workplace, and that the business suit is a funerary garment symbolizing the worker's separation from the land of the living

*Tweaked version of the "Society for Putting Things On Top Of Other Things sketch from Monty Python where instead of a British social club, the society is composed of ancient aliens building pyramids and stonehenge and is specifically the "Society for Putting Rocks on Top of Other Rocks"

*Comedy of errors where improper translation between french and english results in an unintentional marijuana sale (since the french word for 80, quatre-vingt, literally means "four-twenty"

*Sharting themed parody of "Total Eclipse of the Heart" entitled "Totally Shit When I Fart"

*In a world of anthropomorphic frogs there's a race of sewer-dwelling troglodite frogs/ living under the city as a result of both sex3s jacking it in the shower and they're external fertilizers

*Footage of D-Day set to the Benny Hill theme/Yakety Sax

I had sort of heard of Brown while growing up, but had no idea what it was. I figured it was something obscure and technical. Because, I mean, how the fuck would people get away with, say, just as a completely random example, openly wanting something like segregated schools again, right? Surely it couldn't be that. Their political foes would burn them at the stake and be enshrined as demigods for it, right?

I was a sheltered kid. As I think I said before, I genuinely believed racism wasn't a thing anymore until I was just about 20.

Racism is like a villain from a horror movie. It's dead in some senses, but it refuses to pass on, instead remaining on earth to plague those who still live. And every time it seems to be defeated there's one more sequel.

Look, ok, in my view, the bible IS truth... in the way an elder educates a toddler. That leaves a lot of room for interpretation. The toddler is now grown, to believe in Santa Claus is fucking foolish, well, except there's the whole regiment of Santa's Little Inquisition, which will nail you for heresy if you believe that Santa exists more in the symbolic sense to encourage us to be more generous with eachother.

I got in this discussion in a bar last night with an atheist, and I'm like, "Look, dude, think about the target audience, how do you think society would be different if the angel of the lord just started rambling about dinosaurs and explosions to begin with?"

I am pretty sure most religion is basically a very primitive attempt at science, in which crude observations of natural laws are attributed to an invisible hand. It's a lot like Libertarian economic logic.

Well, you can say the same about alchemy, and you know Isaac Newton was totally into that shit. You can't turn lead into gold, but alchemy actually makes sense if you assume they're talking about something other than, literal lead, and literal gold. I'm a bit biased, I'm actually convinced there is a God and that Jesus Christ was the Messiah...I know, it sounds crazy, maybe it IS crazy. Last night I was talking with my neighbor, and he cackled delightedtly when I was like, "What makes all this stupidity worth it is when, ok, imagine this, these good ol' boy hateful southern racist christians are going to die, get to heaven, and realize God is a black man."...

He was Jewish, not black (and that might even have a bigger impact on them)
