You can't fool us

At the GNU Public Dictatorship we are nothing if not intelligent, which is why mere news stories can't change our long-standing beliefs. While we know that bacon doesn't generally come from sheep, we have been working with our geneticists who have created a 39% better form of bacon (that, incidentally, is indistinguishable from normal bacon as far as taste in our trials) using sheep. We also know that regular oats may not grow on trees, but that our geneticists have been working on methods for growing more oats on less acreage and have successfully cultivated a number of varieties of oat trees. We are disappointed that the mainstream media would mock our achievements so directly, but when you are the world leader in anything it seems like everyone wants to make you look bad.
