#120 I Hate The Onion
Phantom Penguin on Dec. 16, 2007
For those of you who don't know The Onion is kind of a fake newspaper/website that parodies real stories and sometimes makes some up. Around this time of the year news stations and other channels broadcast messeges from the troops overseas saying happy holidays to their loved ones. The Onion I guess thought this was fucking hilarious and decided to make a video lampooning this. Having the ‘soldiers’ carryingh signs saying “help me” while giving emotionless remarks like “everything is fine over here”.
heres one of many of the videos:

And no they are not real. If troops said anything like that, we would be thrown in jail.

I think it raises a good point. What you find offencive might be funny/witty to another person. Personally I think the same applies towards your African strips (strangely while I am not African)I find them mildly offencive.

Wit is not always funny. The Onion is not always witty. Or funny. They do make one cringe, and they do touch on topics that are "taboo". I think I'd rather see the Onion's mockery than what the rest of the MSM seems to do: clap harder.

Usually the Onion is pretty funny, but that's not cool of them to do this.
