Just noise and screaming and no musical value at all. (Colonel Poo), Wednesday, 5 June 2013 09:14 (thirteen years ago)

tbf you only need to read the headline anyway

This has been increasingly not the case recently, which is what's led to me paying up.

You can bypass the Onion paywall by using incognito mode (in Chrome, or its equivalent in other browsers).

xp I suppose 1 page view a week puts me over what the onion thinks they should be giving away for free. It just seems weird to pay for obvious, mediocre satire when I've got ILX for that.

Ah ha, cheers Eyeball.

Its satirizing clueless ppl who see everything in racially tinged terms and also white ppl thinking that if they aren't invited to everything ever thats racism.

My Korean girlfriend kinda does this, though. Different circles of relationships are a thing. It's just not really that funny :/

Couldn't tell you how often I notice myself hanging out with only white people.

Looking forward to the baby's first public appearance.
These articles must be really confusing for people browsing with images turned off.

Øystein, Monday, 22 July 2013 20:40 (twelve years ago)

I think it's reasonable to assume that, any time one of the Onion writers makes a series of decisions which ends with them watching improv, we'll see that picture again.

omg im dying at this. those terrible hand descriptions should be a poll thread.

neil degrasse (m bison), Wednesday, 24 July 2013 20:18 (twelve years ago)

“Sometimes I hide the hands by saying characters had really long sleeves or having them stand behind tables, but that starts to feel awkward,” said Milligan, adding that no matter how much he practices writing about hands, “they always come out weird.” “I’ve also tried to avoid doing hand descriptions altogether, but you can only put a few amputees in your stories before people start to notice.”
