I agree, usually they balance partisanship off with absurdity but articles about throwing nuts at a black woman and yelling "this is how we feed animals" and shouting down a Puerto Rican delegate for not being American enough were way over the line.

These are real :psyduck:

Young Freud you should click those links, I almost did what you did.

edit: well not exactly what you did, but I did assume he was actually linking Onion articles which is what I assumed you were doing.

I really love this one:

It's Not Okay To Just Start Talking To People You Don’t Know

'In addition, just because you are sitting next to someone you don’t know on a bus or airplane, that doesn’t give you any right to talk to that person, even if he or she is reading a book you once read. The study goes on to state that talking to an unfamiliar person in a setting where the individual essentially can’t escape the conversation is “one of the cruelest things one human being can do to another human being.”'

I see The Onion has been using my Dad for material.

I remember hearing that The Onion once ran a real, unedited, not-satirical newspaper article as their headline story once, because the true story was more insane then anything they could have made up. Did this actually happen and does anyone remember what story it was?

From the Seinfeld episode, "The Stranded":

Jerry: (noticing a coffee table book) Oh, you got the Civil War book. I saw some of that show. It was wonderful.
Elaine: Six hundred and twenty million people died!
Jerry: Thousand.
Elaine: Thousand! Six hundred and twenty thousand! The horror, the horror.

Some people have a poor grasp of magnitudes.


For example, 80 billion tons of garbage is meaningless to me. I looked it up, and for comparison, the entire world produces 1.3 billion tonnes of waste each year.

Yeah we've cut back now that Lucas isn't making movies.
