I think I am the only person who doesn't think The Onion is funny. The irony goes too far & it just becomes stupid in itself. Like that movie Idiocracy. I get it; overly exaggerated stupidity is supposed to be humorous.

Did you hear about the "The Onion" movie? It came out on DVD last year...wasn't worth the plastic they printed it on.

[abouthipsanck3s]

I did hear about it. Is it supposed to be a mock news broadcast? I didn't even bother looking into it.

The Onion is only good for the headlines really. and the AV Club.

[abouthipsanck3s]

I haven't even actually looked through the AV Club before. Is it a bevy of random articles, or does it have a specific topic?

[adam_0oo]

Holy Crap! I read the av club like every day! Even more when I had a job. Just loads of movie and pop culture reviews. They do interviews with interesting film makers, and do episode by episode reviews of your favorite teevee shows. And all semi-serious, like a real website, not fake news-centric. It is also published in paper at the back of the Onion newspaper.

yeah i don't think it's funny either. make you feel better?

[abouthipsanck3s]

It does, actually.
I'm just so tired of Stumbling Upon it day after day!

Um, not to be TOO much of a cynic and rain down on your parade, but uh..overly exaggerated stupidity...isn't that what lolcatz are? No?

[abouthipsanck3s]

Touché. However, I think lolcats can be appreciated as thus: The Onion is so over the top ridiculous that it has become ONLY funny to hoity-toity hipsters who don't actually understand irony.

I think.

My main point, I guess, is I hate hipsters.
