This is amazing: We Were Going To Take Over The ‘Onion’ Website, But It’s A Real Mess With All Those Ads

quote:

Actually, when we first gained unauthorized access to theonion.com, we thought it had already been hacked. Every piece of legitimate content was surrounded by jarring, visually offensive pleas for users’ attention that would have completely overshadowed any arguments we posted about the U.S.’ role as savage, imperialist hypocrites. There’s no way our message could have had any impact if it was immediately covered by an insufferable pop-out video clip of some lovely television show. Christ, if you accidentally scroll over an annoying sidebar ad, you’re basically hosed. Why would any user stick around to read Onion news stories, let alone rhetoric from the Syrian Electronic Army?

It's amazing how many people on Twitter don't get the joke. Like, I expected backlash from his idiotic fanbase, but apparently even people who agree with the article's point, that Chris Brown and Rihanna should absolutely not be together and that their break-up is the exact opposite of tragic and we should under no circumstances feel bad for Chris Brown, are all "HOLY poo poo HOW DARE YOU JOKE ABOUT DOMESTIC VIOLENCE."

Satire, people. Christ.

I can't remember the name but this is actually a legitimate psychological phenomena where people with paraphilias and no access to porn geared at their specific fetish find material in regular, non-fetishistic media. It's why YouTube is full of meticulously cataloged videos of weird SFW fetish material like cartoon characters being eaten or women getting stuck in quicksand, or that one pedophile GBS discovered a few years ago who had a website full of screengrabs of kids from movies.
