Robert Denby posted:I think The Onion has understandably given up on elaborate video content. When you look at them branching out into video, their track record for financial and ratings success is pretty bad. "Sportsdome" only lasted a season on Comedy Central and got abysmal ratings by the end, "Onion News Network" only lasted two seasons on IFC and there was a controversy over their hiring of non-union writers to keep the budget low, "Onion News Empire" never made it past the pilot despite them pushing really hard for it and that was going to be an Amazon-exclusive show. That and seeing as how both "Sex House" and "Porkin Across America" wrapped in 2012, I think its safe to say that shows like "Dr. Good" and "Lake Dredge Appraisal", which stick to one set and only have four recurring cast members at the most are going to be as elaborate as they get from now on. I was under the impression that they had been having financial difficulty the past few years, what with the physical paper shutting down and the transition to more linkbait-y articles. They gave video production a good try but I can see why it would be the first thing to get the axe when belts are tightened. SpiderHyphenMan posted:Or Bil Watterson threatened to sue. Now if only he could shut down the pissing/praying Calvin stickers and that one comic about ADHD.

It looks like it was removed based on youtube rules, so there's no reason it couldn't be hosted somewhere else. Unfortunately I didn't see it in time as I was at work, so if anyone comes across a mirror, that'd be nice.

At the end of the video was a message saying "Thank you Bill Watterson" or something. They always leave an extra joke at the end. Same with the silly video that makes a good point. Watch until the end.

ultrafilter posted:Nation Wondering Why Struggling Mental Health System Can’t Just Pull Itself Together  That reminds me of probably my #1 favorite article ever since it just hit such a perfect note for me in a horrible way. The Onion is the best when it's sort of satire but is 100% accurate without being too out there. http://www.theonion.com/articles/nations-lower-class-at-least-grateful-it-not-part,28999/

There was an article not to long ago something like "Remember these 90's icons that are floating in an orb above our city?" that was just like a typical 90's Kid article except the descriptions of them were really surreal and menacing. Does anyone know which article this is?
