When a colleague forwarded a story to me under the headline, “Fracking Industry Now Largest Employer of Recent PR Graduates,” I was intrigued, mostly because the oil and gas sector isn’t known for its proactive public relations strategies.

Perhaps such an embrace wouldn’t be a bad idea, but it turns out it’s not one rooted in reality. Scrolling down to find the source of the story, I saw that it was The Onion, a parody news site.

But...that's real.

Then again, this is definitely real:

this is so fucking OTM it kills.

"...and fucking mason jars"

"forcibly lighthearted"

so much of what I hate about (certain corners of) SF in two words

'sex house' is incredible

Completely agree, love the way it is slipping into No Exit territory.

haha wow, i hadn't noticed the existence of "Sex House" but it is pretty amazing just in terms of convincing parody, all the stupid editing details and acting tics are just dead-on.

forks otm
I was not expecting half the humor to come from the house itself being a malfunctioning hellscape
I think the hardest lol for me was the host rebuffed the 'indie' girl and then said he was asexual

the banana contest was incredibly dark and funny too

there really are 5 episodes btw

I'VE DRAWN THE MUSLIM PROPHET MUHAMMAD ON MY FOREHEAD

otm

76.

Completely agree, love the way it is slipping into No Exit territory.

Thinking it'll probably end more like "I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream" or, on a happier note, The Holy Mountain.

right now its salo

desperate 'indie girl' is pitch perfect btw

also love the part in the first ep when tara is hugged by her two roommates and her eyes just stare straight ahead

New episode up.

omg this is painfully funny

i hope settlers of catan will feature prominently in some major plot twist

Just burned through all six eps of Sex House. Brilliant.

the malnourishment make-up is a nice touch

low hanging fruit but it worked for me
http://www.theonion.com/articles/phelps-drowns,29059/

wow holy shit sex house. I guess there are five eps up now? It gets kind of sickening, like I don't even know if I want to watch anymore.

oh, six eps, nm. Is that it or are they making more?

it's kind of amazing in a way that goes beyond Onion style at this point; it's more like a fringe festival play or something

I assume more Sex House eps are coming (there are teasers for the next one at the end of #6).

dark!

Here's the convenient playlist, btw: http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL622682EF88B3C077

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.

burning love is pretty funny

I stand by my original post/thread title:

http://www.theonion.com/articles/i-misspokewhat-i-meant-to-say-is-i-am-dumb-as-dog,29256/

http://www.theonion.com/articles/pregnant-woman-relieved-to-learn-her-rape-was-ille,29258/

Yeah both those were an impressive one-two punch.

Love it when the Onion goes real, real dark

well played

the needy indie girl is killing me

Guilty lols.
