the 2nd and 3rd are vaguely aiming for some kind of social commentary. i get those even if i maybe they are week. the first one tho? it's just like a little sad short story. area man's heart broken by pointlessly tragic 100 word sidebar.

Contemplating spending $3K on hip surgery for my dog tomorrow, wish that piece had never been written.

Best part is that the paid adverts are indistinguishable from the articles

i'm curious how long they can pull it off but then again i never would've predicted the onion could reliably make me laugh doing what they do for nearly twenty years now

I'm still not convinced that AV Club isn't a very ambitious extension of the The Onion's satire.

i dunno who wrote the 'Friends' bit but Jesus that's one unfunny piece; i'm all for the idea but it didn't even raise a smile.

My first thought was also "how long can they possibly keep this funny?" But I guess they can always just shift the content in response to the ever-shifting nature and prevalent of clickbait.

sorry that was supposed to say "nature and prevailing style"

Hier Komme Die Warum Jetzt (Hurting 2), Friday, 13 June 2014 15:47 (nine years ago) link

fans of this site should also participate in my "from around the web" thread which I put on 77 for no good reason

it seriously is the most genius website on earth since they can game the click economy in any way they feel AND not be held ethically accountable for any piece of sponsored content they do. it's a license to print money
