https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TMG5g6MWmvA Post your favorite Onion articles, Kelly cartoons, youtube videos and erotic self insert fanfiction here. What is the Onion? quote:The Onion is an American satirical digital media company and newspaper organization that publishes articles on international, national, and local news. The company is based in Chicago but originated as a weekly print publication on August 29, 1988 in Madison, Wisconsin.[1] The Onion began publishing online in early 1996. In 2007, they began publishing satirical news audio and video online as the Onion News Network. In 2013, The Onion ceased publishing its print edition and launched Onion Labs, an advertising agency.[3][4] Who Is Stan Kelly? He's the onion's political cartoonist, with a very particular style. Often over labeled, confusing, oddly personal, and beloved by goons for over a decade at this point. (to my recollection i've been reading politoons for a long time and my brain has died) Is it true the Onion is run by illuminati and is used to send coded messages to their agents, even able to predict the future? https://www.theonion.com/after-obama-victory-shrieking-white-hot-sphere-of-pure-1819595330 yes Links https://www.theonion.com/ https://www.youtube.com/user/TheOnion https://twitter.com/kartoonistkelly

Sources said the clapping and whistling from the audience slowly tapered off as the exhausted elephant made gradually slower circuits of the tank’s perimeter in a desperate search of any possible exit point it could use to save itself.

https://www.theonion.com/bush-regales-dinner-guests-with-impromptu-oratory-on-vi-1819567929 "Most primarily associate Publius Vergilius Maro with The Aeneid," Bush told guests. "Yet so much pleasure is to be found in his lesser-known works—The Eclogues, completed in 37 B.C., and The Georgics, in 30 B.C., both of which praise the idyllic rural life." "You have to remember I'm a bit of a farm boy myself," chuckled Bush, referring to his 1,600-acre ranch in Crawford, TX. "The Bucolics are my personal favorite," Bush said. "They were basically a thank-you to Asinius Pollio for preventing the seizure of Virgil's land by the Triumvirate when they ordered the lands on the far banks of the river Po distributed to veterans of the victory at Philippi. They are so sublime, so inspirational. But why should I speak, when Virgil can do so himself? And far more eloquently, I might add." Bush then recited a selection from The Bucolics in the original Latin, pausing occasionally to translate into French out of respect for his friend Amélie du Maurier, a young Parisian concert violinist in attendance. Earlier in the evening, a blushing du Maurier admitted to Bush that she did not know Latin. Bush eased the young woman's embarrassment with a joke. "I wouldn't be surprised if your father forbade you from learning Latin, out of sheer distaste for res publica," said Bush, alluding to du Maurier's ancestors' place in the ousted French aristocracy.

https://www.theonion.com/the-onion-endorses-legal-marijuana-1834080638 posted:For years, critics have warned that marijuana is a slippery slope to more dangerous drugs and activities—they are correct, and that is exactly why it should be legalized. Ending the prohibition on cannabis will send a clear message that we are a society on the verge of collapse, and hopefully inspire the citizens of this nation to make the final push over the edge. The Onion’s editorial board dreams of a day when stabbing someone in the spinal column and eating them in the street is perfectly legal. We’ve been fighting since day one against restrictions on human freedom, and a world in which marijuana is legal is a world not far from legalizing assault or bestiality. We will break the stifling bonds of human morality once and for all.

In the unimaginable landscape of physical media two decades ago, I owned a copy of the 2001 Onion annual. The Christmas publishing cycle aligned beautifully for this, as the book ran from Nov 2000 to Oct 2001, which captured two very special editions: Bush vs Gore, and 9/11 NBC News Reverses Earlier Report Of Gore's Death quote:...Early in the evening, NBC's on-screen outline of Gore was colored blue, signifying life. At 11:17 p.m. EST, it turned red, indicating death. When word arrived that Gore had a pulse but no signs of brain activity, the outline reverted to its original uncolored state, meaning "unconfirmed." Even the TV listing was full of little gems like the MTV double bill "Talking To Blink 182 About The Tragedy"/"Carson Daly In Way Over His Head", or "Extremely Uninformed Debate" on public access.

The Obama goes to Dennys video is probably my favorite political piece: https://youtu.be/_yiQXPOO1Yo But my overall favorite is "Sony releases goddamn piece of poo poo" https://youtu.be/8AyVh1_vWYQ And the most prescient is absolutely the white hot ball of rage for president one in the OP. That came out like a week after the 2012 election and it was completely true, right down to the stinger about Hillary in the chyron at the end.

Desperate Employer Offers Basic Dignity To Incentivize New Hiresposted yesterday posted:BOSTON—Calling the benefit the only way to lure employees back into the workforce following the pandemic, local employer Apex Insurance announced Wednesday that it would begin offering basic dignity as an incentive for new hires. “Frankly, we don’t have the resources to hand out respect to every new hire, but if what’s needed is a perk like acknowledging that our employees are human beings rather than profit-producing cogs, then we’ll do it,” said Apex CEO Brandon Chenoweth, noting that the suite of basic decency benefits would include not actively degrading workers in front of their faces, openly speaking to them about the company’s problems as if they were adults, and even occasionally crediting them for their own work. “It was astonishing to see the number of potential employees in this post-Covid environment who turned down job offers simply because I acted like they were a literal piece of garbage whose fate rested in my palm. That’s new, and it shows that the pandemic is going to require some real inventiveness to get them back in the door and working like mules to boost our bottom line.” Chenoweth added that he hoped once the job market stabilized in a few months he would soon get back to treating his employees like absolute dogshit. https://www.theonion.com/desperate-employer-offers-basic-dignity-to-incentivize-1847064273
