lol I was thinking "it you" when I read that!

Would like to imagine it was, but Jonathan Bogart worked out the piece was researched here at his blog

This means that the song he calls "crowd-pleasing crap" is Bert Williams!

You mean the "she at work" bit? That's not an error, that's just cod headline-ese.

Not the Onion, but relevant.

Is that really his name? Really?

It is a very good article.

I just cackled way too loud after reading that rejected "America Stronger Than Ever" headline.

At the risk of outing myself as a snowflake who can't handle "edgy" humor: the new Kelly comic ('Pay Palm Bomb') is kinda gross & I'm not feeling it.

Seemed rather benign to me?

I guess what's tasteless about it is the reference to the famous photo of Phan Thi Kim Phuc, even if it is "ironic"? It's say it's too offensive to be funny, but not offensive enough to be "offensive".
