shit that looks like an onion article but isn't

glad the internet could get its shit together on a thursday to laugh and point at an old lady for doing her job

She told everyone where to get the fuck off, and provided perfect context for it all as well. Any laughing I was doing earlier is rightly erased because she just pwned the world.

Yo Whiney it didn't make it into the VV piece linked above but she also a hella Community fan.

Hahahah

I like marilyn hagerty

She seems like a cool lady

Small towns do their own thing, I'm down with Marilyn.

Also, tbf I had to write stuff that I myself would probably make fun of when I worked at a community newspaper.

I haven't checked lately because I'm in the middle of writing a Sunday column, and I hit the wrong key, and it flew away, and so I had to start all over again.

well i mean, think about how many times you've clicked on a 'funny link,' or shared it w/ people you know, and out of all those times how often you've decided to personally e-mail the person the funny story is by/about

who the hell sends an email just to say 'pathetic'?

can you imagine what the internet will be capable of when we're all her age?

its terrifying.

I was just thinking of what's going to take the place of Olive Garden by then.

cyber olive garden 2 point infinity

OLIVE GREEN IS MADE OF PEOPLE

mama...she loves the soylent garden

A good comment from elsewhere:

When you read Marilyn’s review, try reading it in your head in the voice of actor Sam Elliott.

exactly

If anyone's got time to sit out there and nitpick, I kind of feel sorry for them. Get a life.

Surely this is an impending board description.

Not that the Grand Forks Olive Garden is resting on its laurels. When we asked to speak to the location's general manager, Donald Szutenbach, we were told he was in Italy, training at the brand's Culinary Institute of Tuscany.

when did the onion switch to a paid content model, that is fucking ridiculous

Ages ago! And yes.

the onion's whole website is shit now unfortunately

:D

Marilyn takes America by viral storm

And there's video!

The NY Daily News ran an item yesterday about the danger of illegally imported beauty products that contain mercury. This part struck me as Onion-ish:

Here are some ways to tell if your products contain mercury.

Check the label for “mercurous chloride,” “calomel,” “mercuric,” “mercurio” or “mercury.” If you find any of those ingredients in your products, discard them immediately in a plastic bag or leak-proof container.

<3 guilelessness, <3 Marilyn

"The website postings were because residents of more metropolitan areas found it amusing that a chain restaurant would be reviewed. In larger markets, newspaper reviews are reserved for exclusive, high-end eateries that offer fine dining"

http://www.jta.org/news/article/2012/04/23/3093586/man-can-sue-over-anti-semitic-comments-though-not-jewish

NEW YORK (JTA) -- A New Jersey appeals court has ruled that a man can sue for enduring anti-Semitic slurs from former employers despite not being Jewish.

Myron Cowher, a former truck driver for Carson & Roberts Site Constructions & Engineering Inc., sued the company and former supervisors after allegedly enduring anti-Semitic comments for more than a year. His suit alleges discrimination that resulted in a hostile work environment.

The Appellate Division of New Jersey Superior Court reversed a Superior Court judge in a 3-0 decision. The appeals court stated that the “proper question” is what effect the derogatory comments would have on “a reasonable Jew,” not on Cowher, who is of German-Irish and Lutheran background.

hahahahhahahaha

And although this is a fight I can lose/
The accused is A REASONABLE JEW!

I used to get called "Jew" back in elementary school, but I never knew how to complain about it since it would somehow legitimize the word "Jew" as an insult?

It was the intent, I guess. Maybe I should sue and find some reasonable Jews as character witnesses.
