Finally. Of course journalists do not need to warn anyone.
I suggest next step is to force Hollywood to issue a warning before every parody movie. Or better before every comedy.
Laughing is dangerous. Violence is fine.

It's, uh, already a thing? You know, that "This is a work of fiction. Any similarity to actual persons, living or dead, or actual events, is purely coincidental" disclaimer you see in every movie and even video games?
Notice especially the second sentence about game makers not endorsing whatever behaviour is depicted in the game. The first sentence, by the way, is patently false because GTA Online features a character "Dr. Dre", voiced by Dr. Dre — no way it was "purely coincidental".
Also took child-me far too long to realise the "Famous Historian" scene and the witch/duck trial in Monty Python and the Holy Grail wasn't supposed to be real.
And it really happened... ish. Like, the guy the movie is based on, he did tell that story. But the actual race, never happened. There's no record of the guy ever setting foot in that part of the world. But yeah, he did tell the story in that movie.
