That is loving beautiful.

Another "funny then the last sentence owns" article:

Busy Mom Wishes She Had Enough Spare Time To gently caress CIA Director posted:

MEDIA, PA—Folding laundry Thursday morning as she watched television coverage of the latest revelations in the affair between Gen. David Petraeus and his biographer Paula Broadwell, local mother Dinah Cooley told reporters she wished she had enough time to gently caress the director of the CIA once in a while. “What I wouldn’t give to just drop everything, slip away for a little while, and gently caress a CIA director,” Cooley said with a huff, adding that she doesn’t understand why it’s always someone else who gets to have fun loving high-ranking military and intelligence officers. “Between cooking three meals a day, chauffeuring the kids around, and keeping this house in order, I barely have time to gently caress a low-level CIA operative, much less the director of the whole agency. And even if I did get an hour alone with him, I’d probably be too exhausted to really get anything out of it.” Sighing softly as she returned to her work, Cooley added that she would just have to settle with loving her neighbor for now.

I've been waiting for the Onion to write an article about Obama's trip to SE Asia, something in the style of the Onion's Biden because of all the hubbub about him kissing the Nobel peace prize winner in Myanmar and then smiling and laughing with the Thai prime minister.

It's probably an inside joke between the writers about they could just post no-effort poo poo like that and still get more page counts than the good stuff.

Yes, but it's a link to an ad on YouTube, not a click-thru, so I think that's allowed.
