I wish. If anything this just makes his supporters more adamant about voting for him. "He's gonna show those freeloaders what's what!"

We would like to apologize for stating last week that The Onion is “bigger than Jesus.” What we meant to imply is that The Onion is more important and influential than Jesus, not that our newspaper is in any way physically larger than He was. We regret any confusion.

I stopped watching them after the first two or three. If you read the articles you're getting the exact same jokes. Have they changed the format any since it started?

Right now, they have a great story up on the Emmys. Be sure to read to the end.

They got a better narrator after about six Week in Reviews, and sometimes they do have additional interviews and such. I thought it quite added to "Coworker With Two Computer Screens Not loving Around".

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.”'

See, I'm not sure how to take this article. Part of it seems like it could be lamenting the fact that people don't/"aren't supposed to" talk to each other, but then the last line you quoted seems sincere.

I think CNN is desperate for news or just a profoundly lovely news source because the below image has been on their frontpage all week and was even a featured article for a day.


This is so similar to something The Onion would do with their Weekender magazine.

Here's one they did right after the Jared Lee Loughner shooting; Shooting Suspect Released After Not Breaking Any Arizona Laws.
