God bless the goddamn Onion

My friend came up with this concept, and may have written it, too. It's his first Onion News Network video! Hoorah!

Based on the reaction this is getting already, your friend's done good!

The only thing that bothered me about that were all the man-on-the-streets had American accents. http://www.macbrosplace.com/wp-content/plugins/yahoo-messenger-emoticons/emoticons/nerd_big.gif

that craig t. nelson cover is exactly the kind of almost-not-a-joke joke we used to do at the campus weekly I worked for

e.g. we did a cover with the headline "The Reform Party's Quadruple Threat" with pictures of Ross Perot, Pat Buchanan, Jesse The Body Ventura and Balki Bartokamous (I mean it was Bronson Pinchot, but the names read "Perot // Buchanan // Ventura // Bartokamous"

Found via the "Is This Racist?" thread, the real punchline is at the end: http://www.theonion.com/articles/conde-nast-launches-the-new-yorker-for-black-peopl%2C19708/

Industry sources reported that if the magazine is a success, Condé Nast may move ahead with plans for other niche publications, including Kurdish Wired and GQ For Men.

The online reaction to that has been kind of funny. I've noticed that some right-wing folks recognize that it's satire but think it's satirizing Planned Parenthood -- as in, "See, even The Onion thinks Planned Parenthood has gone too far!" Which doesn't really make sense rhetorically, but I can sort of understand how a pro-lifer might accidentally work it out that way.

Or they think that it makes fun of both sides equally, like this guy:

While I think the partial goal is to poke fun at how prolifers supposedly view Planned Parenthood, there's also a good deal that hits abortion clinics like the floor plan where a day care center promises that young children can play "while their unborn siblings are being terminated elsewhere in the facility"

Like, how is that not ALSO poking fun at how pro-lifers view Planned Parenthood?
