Jack McCloy and Brian McGuinness, two guys from Long Island, came up with a scathingly brilliant idea when they designed and developed a web site called ChuckleDumper.

ChuckleDumper is a dynamically updated [humor website](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ai-satire-news) and a place for humorists, comics and fans to socialize. You will thoroughly enjoy the daily updates, videos, [stand-up comedy](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ai-roast-generator), and sketches.

This video has taken the Internet by storm. It stars pseudo-representative Gregory White as he apologizes to family, friends and voters for taking up with two teenage runaways in a Washington DC hotel.

He elaborates on his fetishes and weaknesses, as he also apologizes to the makers of a [biscuit product](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/feed-the-fun) that he has abused while performing his unforgivable acts. While much of ChuckleDumper is safe for work, the audio of the video above isn't.
