what's the point of the news source, theonion?

[skim milk]

I read through one of theonion newspapers and it seemed like a bunch of made up stories. Bill Clinton is not running for president.. I didn't read about that anywhere else. And 3.2 million people applying for a part-time position at a local restaurant? WTF, that's not believable

 

[torpid]

Is this a parody?

 

[Slick5150]

Umm.. Its a parody newspaper? Much like I hope this thread is but fear is not.

Are you serious?

I didn't know what theonion was.... now I know to avoid it. It's not even humorous, if I'm going to read a newspaper, I want to read about real news

 

[PingSpike]

Real news sucks. Its hardly ever funny at all.

At this point you should probably keep all your opinions to yourself.

Yeah screw anything that has any entertainment value.

 

[scott916]

Dude you need to put your name on the transplant list for a sense of humor, STAT!

FTFY

The onion is great, I try to pick up an issue every week. The articles are so absurd, yet some of them you can really almost see happening. You need a sense of humor if you can't appreciate the onion.

Wow, so you're not real bright AND you're unbelievably stodgy. You must be a devil with the ladies.

 

[revnja]

Newspapers are 99% bullshit anyway. Might as well read one that entertains me.

 

[torpid]

Holy cow, it wasn't a parody? Man, did you just escape Juniper Creek or something?

 

[Slick5150]

What's the point of the New York Times? I read through it once and it wasn't funny at all. "Tentative Deal on Economic Stimulus Plan"?? Not even remotely funny.

It's called humor and satire. Learn to recognize it. When you do, life becomes much more entertaining.
