NEW YORK (The Borowitz Report)—In
what observers are calling the largest merger ever between two species
of mammal capable of mauling humans to death, polar bears and grizzly
bears announced on Friday that they were joining forces in a friendly
acquisition. If the merger goes through, the polar bears and
grizzly bears would together be able to terrorize a much larger
landmass than ever before, experts said. Speaking at a packed press conference in New York accompanied by
their investment bankers from Goldman Sachs, the jubilant bears gave
their spin on the unprecedented deal. “To say that we’re excited would be an understatement,” said a
spokesman for the grizzlies. “For years, we’ve admired the way polar
bears have dismembered hikers who’ve encroached on their territory. To
be on the same team with talent like that—whoa. It’s a dream come
true.” While critics of the merger have argued that it is anticompetitive, a spokesman for the polar bears disagreed. “I think working with the grizzlies is just going to push us to
savage more human flesh than ever before. Speaking for myself, I’m ready
to start mauling,” he said, underscoring his point by eating a
reporter. The merger is not expected to face regulatory hurdles.
