When a colleague forwarded a story to me under the headline, “Fracking Industry Now Largest Employer of Recent PR Graduates,” I was intrigued, mostly because the oil and gas sector isn’t known for its proactive public relations strategies.

Perhaps such an embrace wouldn’t be a bad idea, but it turns out it’s not one rooted in reality. Scrolling down to find the source of the story, I saw that it was The Onion, a parody news site.

But...that's real.

Then again, this is definitely real:

'sex house' is incredible

Completely agree, love the way it is slipping into No Exit territory.

I dont even know that I think this sucks per se (forksclovetofu), Sunday, 12 August 2012 00:35 (9 months ago) Permalink

haha wow, i hadn't noticed the existence of "Sex House" but it is pretty amazing just in terms of convincing parody, all the stupid editing details and acting tics are just dead-on.

I was not expecting half the humor to come from the house itself being a malfunctioning hellscape
I think the hardest lol for me was the host rebuffed the 'indie' girl and then said he was asexual

Completely agree, love the way it is slipping into No Exit territory.

Thinking it'll probably end more like "I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream" or, on a happier note, The Holy Mountain.

also love the part in the first ep when tara is hugged by her two roommates and her eyes just stare straight ahead

New episode up.

Just burned through all six eps of Sex House. Brilliant.

wow holy shit sex house. I guess there are five eps up now? It gets kind of sickening, like I don't even know if I want to watch anymore.

bert yansh (Hurting 2), Saturday, 18 August 2012 03:19 (9 months ago) Permalink

oh, six eps, nm. Is that it or are they making more?

bert yansh (Hurting 2), Saturday, 18 August 2012 03:19 (9 months ago) Permalink

it's kind of amazing in a way that goes beyond Onion style at this point; it's more like a fringe festival play or something

bert yansh (Hurting 2), Saturday, 18 August 2012 03:21 (9 months ago) Permalink

I assume more Sex House eps are coming (there are teasers for the next one at the end of #6).

i wonder if the series is sponsored by settlers of catan because the name isn't obscured like twister is.

Philip Nunez, Saturday, 18 August 2012 04:34 (9 months ago) Permalink

it should be a real tv show, i can't really think of a faux-reality show in its vein that's so good; there's obviously like the office at a tangent from that concept but playing with the archetypes of contestants is so funny.
