...Hoyle--an angry, sarcastic, cuckolded Photoshop expert--it was launched in late December and ended 10 episodes later, in April, when Donnie mysteriously disappeared. Not that you ever saw him. In the videos, the camera remains centered on a computer desktop and follows Donnie's cursor as he conducts mock tutorials on how to use the photo-altering application. Sound obscure? Maybe not. With the explosion of blogging and do-it-yourself publishing, Photoshop has become one of the Web generation's indispensable tools. Accordingly, the Donnie series has been viewed nearly 8 million times...

Author Jack Handey, a veteran writer for “Saturday Night Live” and contributor to The New Yorker, definitely fits within that American sense of humor.

Former University President Lawrence H. Summers and Harvard Corporation fellow Robert E. Rubin ’60 were among the participants in a Cabinet simulation that performed a mock response to a major disruption in oil at the Institute of Politics (IOP) Forum last night. = The simulation, called Oil ShockWave, was developed jointly by Securing America’s Future Energy (SAFE) and the Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs at the Harvard Kennedy School.

A mock lament of rough and tumble city life, the track gets to the point where you can almost see Bret’s solemn expression mouthing the words to the chorus. “Boom,” a song that wasn’t really all that funny...
...legal red lines. In Mohammed's case, however, that will include the issue of torture. The CIA held him in a secret prison for years, and has admitted that his interrogation included techniques such as simulated drowning, infamously known as waterboarding. Most experts say that, as a form of mock execution, there is no doubt that waterboarding constitutes torture. (The technique is banned by the U.S. military.) If defense lawyers can show that confessions obtained from Mohammed or others were obtained by torture, or that their testimony against other prisoners was similarly coerced, then that testimony could be ruled inadmissible...
