I hate how the first thing I noticed about the picture is that the game UPLINK is on one of the monitors.

Article About One World Trade Center Building Includes Paragraph Explaining 9/11

I thought about this the other day while reading the newspaper about the Boston Marathon bombings. Every article about it included a rundown of what happened. As if our attention span is so short that we forget the major event that relates to the article we're reading.

The smartest thing The Onion does is not have user-submitted comments on their articles.

Just to clarify, the rest of the slideshow will be like this. You’re definitely going to get six more images of tremendously big, veiny penises here. The next photo is going to be a giant cock, followed by another huge dick, and then another, and so forth.

No, we’re not going to throw in a photo of something that isn’t a giant cock in order to be clever or misleading. You are, honest to God, getting nothing but really big cocks here. That’s it.

Well, there you go. You just clicked through a slideshow of giant cocks. That’s where your life is at right now. Enjoy your day.
