New Yorkers can be a sentimental — and satirical — bunch.

That’s why it was no surprise that an impromptu vigil was held Friday honoring the Bowling Green massacre victims that never were.

“We’re commemorating the victims of Bowling Green,” said Chris Bauer as he stifled a smile. “It never happened so they were never commemorated.”

Bauer and a handful of others stood near the Lower Manhattan park, holding signs and shouting, “We all are Bowling Green, never remember never forget.”

We New Yorkers have a great sense of humor.

1. Oh that's just hilarious.

[HassleCat]

2. I was there! It is so vivid!

Perhaps the only memory more profound was when I liberated Dachau.

21. Was Brian Williams covering the event?

I would've gone, but I was busy planting the US flag at Iwo Jima.

An authentic New Orleans Jazz Funeral is what a tragedy of this magnitude deserves.

5. Will they have a Tomb of the Imaginary Soldier?

7. Excellent!

May they rest in Kellyanne's imagination for all eternity!

8. Not that funny

Trumpsters will take this as real news. They will spin this as something that did happen because there where vigils held. They are so stupid, they'll take anything to support their alternate news. Just look at how many of them believe the Onion news was real. Idiots- all of them.

9. Now I'm confused. Did this not happen in Bowling Green, KY or

at Bowling Green Park in lower Manhattan?

11. Republicans must be really asking themselves that.

Some of them must still be asking themselves if Cheney's (totally fictitious) terror warning was for Tappahannock or Rappahannock.

15. Well, the Bowling Green, KY tourism office

is being inundated with calls. I don't think anyone knows.

[Dream Girl]

16. It happened (or didn't happen) in Bowling Green, Ohio

24. It didn't happen in Bowling Green, Florida either!

[Dawgman49]

25. It happened

10. "Never remember to forget"

The motto of today's GOP and all other fascists.

13. You know there really was a Bowling Green Massacre

It just took place in an Alternate Reality in an Alternate world, with Alternate facts. You can easily hop from one bubble to the next but you have to be A Fox TV Viewer to do so.

20. Srsly, moronic Trumpkins probably took pictures of this 'vigil' to spread over the interwebs ...

To show all the other dimwits that 'it was real' ... otherwise "why would these NY'ers be commemorating the Total Real Bowling Green Event!!11!1?!? Can you say lie-beral media cover-up!?!?1!?"
