Incidentally, as it's not in the OP (yet?), it may be a good time to re-mention that the Onion Digital Studios stuff has been discussed in this TVIV thread since the middle of Sex House.

The whole Prince william is fathering a demon baby joke could have been executed a little more subtly but I really like it when they have multiple articles extending the same joke. Like every one with Joe Biden.

I enjoyed this take on British Royalty more.
Its less for shock value and the rather hilariously detailed.

The youtube channel occasionally comes up with gems. Porkin' across America is about an hour long, the first 45 minutes are basically one huge setup for the last 15 and it's totally worth it. It's a goddam Greek tragedy about the disintegrating life of a man who is really, really into pork products.

I couldn't get past the second episode where they put the dog down.

David Justice was my hero growing up. I spent all my allowance money each week at a card shop trying to get his card out of packs. I got chocked up when he was traded out of Atlanta :smith:

Chris Christie Dreaming About 72-Inch Springsteen Sub

quote:

TRENTON, NJ—Slowly licking his lips and salivating as he indulged his imagination, New Jersey governor Chris Christie reportedly spent most of Friday afternoon alone in his office daydreaming about a mouthwatering 72-inch Springsteen sub. “Mayo, lettuce, Bruce Springsteen, a few of those spicy peppers right on top—oh man,” Christie was overheard murmuring to himself alone at his desk, his eyes closed as he tantalized his taste buds with visions of the 6-foot-long toasted sandwich piled high with the Boss and provolone cheese. “Mmmmmmm.” At press time, sources confirmed Christie had decided to sprinkle some Little Steven on top as well.
