In the carnival of reality, truth often finds itself playing second fiddle to spectacle. The absurdity of fake news reigning supreme is a testament to humanity’s penchant for embracing the ludicrous over the logical. 

Even the legendary Dolly Parton, adorned in anonymity, 

fell victim to the whimsy of appearance. She once anonymously joined a look-alike contest in Los Angeles.  She lost to a drag queen, proving that sometimes, a glittering facade can blind even the keenest eyes. 

So why bother with facts when fiction dances so seductively before us? After all, in a world where appearances hold more weight than substance, it’s easier to judge a book by its cover than to delve into the complexities of its contents. 

In this theater of the absurd, truth may be a noble pursuit, but it’s the flamboyant charlatans who steal the spotlight.
