Good satire that's not funny
Judge Rules White Girl Will Be Tried As Black Adult
I didn't find this "news story" from the Onion News Network to be funny. It's too depressing and nauseating and too much of an accurate reflection to be funny. I wonder what the criminal justice system would be like if juries never saw what defendants looked like. What do you think?

I love the idea that we would try people without ever seeing them, without having reference to their race or gender (where possible), only basing our verdicts on their behavior! I wonder if there are people who really advocate this position as a serious alternative to the current system.
