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

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 (eleven 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.

mookieproof, Friday, 14 September 2012 03:48 (eleven years ago) link

is it just me or have they been really daring lately?

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 (eleven 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 (eleven 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.

1 group that hasn't moved yet: video. that move is going to happen, though. enjoy sex house while you've got it.

It ended yesterday, so perfect timing!

Johnny Fever, Friday, 14 September 2012 22:32 (eleven years ago) link

Although the video dept. was still based in NY at the time, Sex House was shot in Chicago with Chicago actors. So you neeeever knoooooow.
