A security check on a US company has reportedly revealed one of its staff was outsourcing his work to China.

The software developer, in his 40s, is thought to have spent his workdays surfing the web, watching cat videos on YouTube and browsing Reddit and eBay.

The last line of this article is absolutely intended to read like an Onion piece. Tell me I'm wrong. http://wapo.st/11ztSXg

Actual article not Onion-esque, but the concept has promise.

The picture and caption of this article look Onionish.

"15 per cent of of girls under 16 are thought to become pregnant every year"

what the holy fuck is wrong with people?

Roberto Spiralli, Tuesday, 9 July 2013 17:02 (twelve years ago)

this is why political change that doesn't involve severe beatings is never gonna work

the SI unit of ignorance (Noodle Vague), Tuesday, 9 July 2013 17:03 (twelve years ago)

15% of girls but some of them are 4 yrs old, for the 15 yr olds it must be more like 80%

the most promising US ilxor has thrown the TOWEL IN (Nilmar Honorato da Silva), Tuesday, 9 July 2013 17:05 (twelve years ago)

actually that's a flaw in the question -- most people would probably think you meant something like 13-16 year olds, not all girls under 16.

i don't even have an internet (Hurting 2), Tuesday, 9 July 2013 17:06 (twelve years ago)

survey doesnt cover the most enduring political calumny of the social right -- the notion that the ECHR is part of the EU, which lots of university educated people subscribe to

the most promising US ilxor has thrown the TOWEL IN (Nilmar Honorato da Silva), Tuesday, 9 July 2013 17:08 (twelve years ago)

from the article Hurting i'm guessing they asked people to guess at figures, not make a choice. and i don't care how you skew the numbers, 15 percent?????

the SI unit of ignorance (Noodle Vague), Tuesday, 9 July 2013 17:09 (twelve years ago)

i've explained the difference between the ECHR and the EU to people on several occasions and to be honest they didn't give a shit even when they knew the difference

the SI unit of ignorance (Noodle Vague), Tuesday, 9 July 2013 17:10 (twelve years ago)

they usual express mild confoundment when told that the conservative party & st winston were its progenitors
