"This is an abhorrent waste of federal funds," Grover Norquist of Americans for Tax Reform said of Obama's May 13 video, timestamp. "How can a man overseeing the largest deficit in history justify spending our hard-earned money on some artsy video of him signing the same bill over and over again for 14 straight hours as the distant sound of children's laughter grows in intensity until it becomes unbearably loud and then the entire thing ends with footage of an atom bomb going off? It's just despicable."
"Do we really want our tax dollars going toward something so clearly derivative of Sadie Benning's early works?" Norquist added.

CORRECTIONS: Actor Peter Sarsgaard's name was misspelled in a photo caption accompanying a story about the upcoming release of Green Lantern. We were unaware that our readers knew how to spell his name correctly. The Onion regrets the error.

Hmmm, where previously there would be one "Continue to The Onion »" advert on first entering the site, I'm now having to click through this on every link to a text article. I understand they need to advertise, but this really annoying. (AV Club is affected by this too).

Yeah - it's ok again on mine too (Firefox, no Adblock though). Must have been a glitch - every ad was for the Onion Store, and whilst I love the "chocaholic but for booze" t-shirts it was a little grating.

i started to read that in the paper version the other day and stopped about a third into it because i was like "i get it, cyclists are gear dweebs who believe in special socks" and figured it would do the usual "onion spends a lot of column inches on a joke that works better as a headline" thing
