When the news does stories on obesity they normally have shots of people on the street, but from the neck down to protect their identities I guess. And please don't weird fetish shame.

As a fellow Onion fan, I agree that weird fetishes are off-limits for making fun of. That's really past the line.

This seems like the sort of story that we wouldn't normally get from The Onion. There's no humor here, it's just a full page of bitching. It might as well be about waiting in line at the post office.

I'm don't want to act like we're super geniuses or anything but in order to get a lot of the jokes that the Onion makes you have to be extremely well informed.

It's sort of like how certain foods in high cuisine are completely disgusting to a person used to McDonald's, the jokes and advertising we are getting are intended for people with a greater understanding of how media and advertising works.
