Holy loving poo poo. I love the onion when things get heated, like the "God Angrily Clarifies "Thou Shalt Not Kill" rule". They do well at making you laugh at the poo poo you can't live with.

Who needs a house out in Hackensack? Is that all you get for your money?

This is the best one.

EDIT: Also the comments on the Onion Facebook page from people upset that they're not bashing Joe Biden hard enough and that the liberal bias of the Onion rages on.

Parents Don't Remember Enough Colors To Help With Kindergartner's Homework:

quote:

BEDFORD, NY—Parents of 5-year-old Haylee Risser reportedly sat around their dinner table stumped Monday night, unable to recall enough colors to help their daughter with a homework assignment from her first day of kindergarten. "I definitely remember red and yellow, but when she started getting into that brown and green stuff, that's where I'm lost," said Deborah Risser, 36, who admitted that shoelaces and days of the week were always more her forte. "It's one of those things they drill into you in kindergarten, and then you never use it again. When the hell am I going to need to know purple, anyway?" At the suggestion of her increasingly frustrated husband, Risser picked up the phone to call her older brother, who sources confirmed is "great at colors."

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". Like, at least have a line about school lunches or something.
