Is there any way to... browse the Onion's website in a way that makes sense to normal, sane people? Is the layout and mad maze of advertising somehow part of their greatest satire of all? poo poo even breaks my simplify-browsing extensions. I mean, it's a real testament to the quality of their humor that people dig through the website rather than immediately saying "gently caress that mess, ctrl-F4"

I think it's just that she's the stereotype of the inde/punk rock/alt girl camwhore, and the prototype of person who thrives on these reality shows. She needs to be the center of attention and her validation is other people finding her sexually attractive (which no one in the house does), so she comes of as off-putting and desperate. Basically, she's the sex-craving side side of the cast of Jersey Shore.
I'd agree, but even Jay and Tara have shown that they're more than just the reality show stereotypes that they seem to be.

Literally Unbelievably seems intended as a meta humor type of site. It's called Literally Unbelievable. The name lends itself to being a parody. It's like having a site called This poo poo Is True and then a bunch of wannabe-comedians pretend to react like people they want to mock.

Maybe at some point a handful of real idiots found their way to the site and took over but the name never sat right with me as a legit source of ignorance. It's too self aware.
I'm not sure what you're saying here? Are you saying that the people running the blog want people to think that they don't know The Onion's real, or that the facebook posts it showcases are ironic, or what?

Seriously, gently caress Todd Akin forever. I hope he steps in dogshit every day for the rest of his miserable life.
People sometimes criticize Onion articles for just being the headline said over and over in different ways, and in this case that's absolutely true.

But holy poo poo it is so loving cathartic and satisfying.

I know some Onion stuff is written to just be funny, but the fat kid article really missed an opportunity to exam obesity as the systemic class issue it is and not as a "hurr these kids don't run and just eat junk like their lazy parents".

BREAKING: John McCain Just Blew His Brains Out During RNC Speech
I was offended by this until I actually read the article.

quote:

“My friends, I’m not going to be around much longer, so I want to tell you this,” said McCain, a decorated Vietnam war hero. “I am for same-sex marriage if it’s implemented in an incremental way that makes sense. I am for a woman’s right to choose. I believe that human beings have caused this planet to overheat, and that those of you ignoring this issue should be ashamed of yourselves. Immigrants who arrived here as children should be given a path to citizenship. And the income gap in this country is unacceptable. I have always believed these things. And I also believe that this party’s hard turn to the right is detrimental to the well-being and progress of this entire country.”

“Goodbye,” McCain added, and then put a bullet into his head.
