Does anybody know what the hell happened to the onion? It used to be they had longer and way more funny videos. Now they just have these short lame ones. What happened?
The onion has just gone to shit. Every video is a dumb week in review and they are now CHARGING for access. I would never pay for this. They should be able to survive off advertising info. Goodbye onion.
the whole hostage thing for 12 trillion seems like more of a democrat thing, but instead of calling it a ransom they call it a "stimulus package" and its the children's future they are holding hostage by putting them trillions into debt, COME ON ONION GET IT RIGHT
As a journalist, I once reported an Onion news item. I was really so naive I thought everyone would understand 'twas a joke. After all, I included the link to the Onion. Results? Not a single one of the commenting readers believed I, a constant follower and fan of The Onion, would know that this site was not serious. Well, everyone judges the others by oneself. Indeed, I was harshly chided on a weekly meeting, because journalism is SEEEERIOUS. I'm glad nobody ever told this to The Onion staff.
. I suggest the three of you go back to school, enhance your English language comprehension, read some books and watch some real news. No, I am not trolling. I am putting you in your place.
IS THAT MORE CLEAR NOW? DO YOU UNDERSTAND? So, how am I trolling? And is watching CNN stupid? However I was making fun of FOX, because since they reported satire from the Onion as real news ("Obama writes a rambling 75000 word e-mail to the UN") I have lost all respect for them as a reliable news source.
I am niether trolling nor am I stupid. The story ran on CNN. I saw it. Go to their website and you can see it, too. CNN understood it was FAKE news--i.e. SATIRE and were reporting the fact that some dipshits were following the Onion on Twitter and took the piece of HUMOR as REAL and it all went up to Capitol Hill police. Congress then said the news was in bad taste.
@ CardingtonLZF you sound like a poor sap who believed everything you saw on TV. Calling something names doesnt prove a point. Oh and stop hating on everything you disagree with, it makes for bad character.
@MeMyselfAndI42424 How is he trolling? As hard as it is to believe, some idiots did take the Congress "news" seriously. Leave it to FOX News to once again assert their place as the biggest dumbasses on the planet.
(paraphrase:) "Let's see what decitions in the past were bad, and then don't make those decitions again. Because if a bad thing happened again, that would be bad." LOL
The historian informing us that we should be looking to the past for answers was a CLASSIC! "...because if a bad thing happened again you see, that would be very bad indeed, wouldn't it?"
I saw the report about congress taking children hostage on CNN---really made my day! Apparently people following The Onion on twitter thought it was real news! CNN reported it and the congress was angry because they thought it was in bad taste. I guess they thought that a report implied that they would do something like that. I detect guilty consciences. Hahaha. How could anyone but FOX news follow The Onion on Twitter or anywhere else and think it was real news? Brilliant!
@simaaiwen The Fox nation once reported an onion report as real news, it was something against Obama, I don't remember what exactly but you could probably find it on google.
i love the historian "just pick up any book with the word history in it, skim the contents and see what decisions in the past turned out to be bad, and then once you've pinpointed them simply dont make those same decisions again":
"they wish people had told them about this trick sooner"
its a great trick and i recommend it to anyone voting on important political decisions.
@tuseroni scary how this suggestion is actually true. sadly our politicians are idiots who apparently cant read the documents they are signing into law.
@CurtHowland - Your language indicates you've been brainwashed. Isn't rent taken from you (at gunpoint, of course)? What are your choices when it comes to rent? Pay rent or die! So isn't that a threat of violence against your person for not paying rent? And you must admit: As 98% of the worlds resources are controlled by 2% of the people, even under your dogma that would not change. So the only difference is it's the 2% who own everything threatening to kill you instead of a "government."
@CurtHowland - Of course, to continue, we all know that as soon as government is eliminated, all those people who own everything will of course suddenly grow a heart and give it all up because you ask them to. Just asking them to give you things works every time. Go and ask them for money. The Koch Brothers will be more than happy to give you anything you ask, just because it's the nice and right thing to do. All voluntary, and sweet, and kind. Aren't they nice?
@LeksServices "all those people who own everything will of course suddenly grow a heart and give it all up"
No, that's the argument of the Utopian Socialists who think that if everyone gives up money and private property, everything with be happy with the world.
In a free market, rather than a political one, the only way to get rich is to serve your customers better than the competition.
Which means anyone can get rich, and wealth is not guaranteed for anyone.
