Arrested Ex-FIFA VP Cites The Onion In Strange Self-Defense Video

quote:

Today in Dumb FIFA Man, arrested ex-VP Jack Warner tried to thank his supporters and clear his name during a strange Facebook video in which he cites a report from The Onion to prove FIFA’s generosity.

The “article” states FIFA awarded the United States an impromptu World Cup after the the U.S. handed out corruption arrests to FIFA officials in Zurich last week. Around the 5:00 mark of the video, Warner becomes entirely too woke when he picks up the article printout and says, “If FIFA is so bad, why is it USA wants to keep the FIFA World Cup?”

Nah, Diamond Joe would fake his son's death for reasons involving a large pot growing operation in the basement of the Lincoln Memorial.

A few months back I made it a project to read two pages of this thread a week. Just reading the onion article titles gave me a chuckle, occasionally reading the thing if someone emphatically assured me the last sentence was worth it. Then a year ago in thread time clickhole came out and I ravenously upped the consumption of this thread's history. Click hole is extremely my poo poo. Goddamn. I had been passed one or two clickhole articles before but goddamn. I'm hooked on clickhole. My clickhole score is 3619.

I googled chords for night moves to solve the mystery of skull island. I've been banned from the internet and banned from ever learning another language. I love it. I've seen every fish in the sea married to a deathless diver from before time. I've been told I haven't flicked nearly enough wind chimes and goddamn it they're right. I have every bone there is.

I'm constantly surprised by how much effort they put into looking low effort.

Jean's back once again!

quote:

I won’t bore you with what you already know, but I made my apologies and meant them. I absolutely didn’t mean to offend anyone with my December 2014 column, “Homophobe And Loving It!” I think you all understand that now, but I still apologized anyway and didn’t fight the imposed sabbatical. I swear, I honestly thought that “homophobe” meant someone who hated cleaning their house. I did occasionally wonder why there was an “o” after the “m” instead of an “e,” but I checked the dictionary to verify the spelling. However, I only noted the spelling and didn’t follow through with reading the definition. I really should have, as I used the word a lot in the column, and turns out it means something totally different.
