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

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.

Yeah both those were an impressive one-two punch.

am I the only person who thinks the "what I really meant to say..." article wasn't funny at all?

it is about as funny as those articles M4rc L0i wrote for The Spoof

Whenever a news item says "this sounds like something straight from The Onion", it rarely actually does.

Spencer Chow, Wednesday, 29 August 2012 00:05 (twelve years ago) link

They are kicking arse with the dark satire recently, its amazing. The video one of the astronauts dying a "painful high pitched death" choking on helium was just... jesus christ.

I think a lot of this is angry writers who didn't make the move to Chicago and figure their days are numbered, so why not go for it?

Three Word Username, Friday, 14 September 2012 10:46 (twelve years ago) link

I think the angry Onion writers who did not make the move are no longer writers.If anything, maybe it's an attention getting move from the writers who did make the move, as well as the new writers the old, ex writers prematurely denigrated.

Josh in Chicago, Friday, 14 September 2012 14:03 (twelve years ago) link

I kinda feel like its a cyclical thing with The Onion, they get kinda stale for awhile and then every so often they'll unleash a string of stuff that pushes the limits.
