While you might think this this celebrity fueled clickbait, take note that Bono from U2 did just go to a U.S. Senate subcommittee hearing and suggested that comedy be employed in taking down terrorist group ISIS, specifically Amy Schumer, Sacha Baron Cohen, and Chris Rock.

That’s one of the world’s most well known musicians giving credence to the power of comedy and recommending comedy in fighting the narrow minded extremism over other art forms that are more often highly regarded for their political activism.

So, Schumer, Cohen, and Rock should be doing an ISIS roast?

It would be pretty great if stuff like this was on The Food Network, TLC, or The Cooking Channel.

Cooking For Vegans and Other Horrible People takes cooking for people that have special restrictions with their diets and puts a sharp, satiric edge on it at every angle. Host Rachel Staman also teaches actual recipes, which look kind of appetizing.

Per the description of the web series, “Join Rachel Staman as she cooks for Vegans and Other Horri – nice, horribly nice wonderful people who have no reason to come after us for any reason.”

In the three episodes thus far, Staman cooks for vegans, pregnant women, and ISIS, which, before you get heated about the idea of those three groups being lumped together, you should just watch it first.

If you’re missing the absurd side of cooking as it’s been awhile since a new Henry’s Kitchen has popped up, Cooking For Vegans and Other Horrible People should fix that right up.

With the rise of ISIS in the Middle East, you might have noticed that the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria share the same letters in their acronym with the International Secret Intelligence Service, the fictitious spy agency depicted on animated series Archer.

As the atrocities of the real life ISIS tally up more and more every day, Archer’s showrunner Adam Reed and producers have decided to get rid the name in the show. There’s no word on what will replace it, but there won’t be any addressing it other than the removal of their ISIS logo.

Perhaps, Federation of United Bureaus Agency Reconnaissance or FUBAR could be a fun one?
