A week-old, satirical meme skewering Texas new abortion law is still trending on social media on Thursday.
The meme, which was posted on Twitter by Paul Leigh on Sept. 2, showed an altered image from the television series The Handmaids Tale purporting to show that the Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders uniforms have been changed.
The satirical uniforms altered the red body-covering red robes and large white bonnets to the Cowboys color scheme, complete with the iconic Cowboys star on the side of the bonnet.

The Hulu series is based on the 1985 novel by Margaret Atwood which features a dystopian nightmare in which a totalitarian society subjects fertile women to child-bearing slavery.

This would also go on all Borowitz and Onion stories as well.

So it needs to be pointed out, ok?
Actually . . . Facebook is the country of absorption, everything is accepted as facts and people act on those 'facts'.
Start a rumour that coffee makes you constipated, and watch sales plummet.
Facebook - the land of the uneducated, can't-think-for-myself, zero analysis people.
Too may take advantage of that, and make a living from that.
Sadly big, bigly sad. Get a brian, Facebook morans!
