Guest The Czech Republic Posted October 19, 2002 Report Posted October 19, 2002 DEFENSE DEPARTMENT TYPO RESULTS IN U.S. ATTACK ON IRA ARLINGTON, VA---The U.S. Defense Department apologized to Skokie, IL, dentist Ira Nussbaum Tuesday following a bombing campaign aimed at removing the 37-year-old from power. "Apparently, the intelligence source who drafted the attack failed to strike the 'Q' key hard enough," Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld said. "The 'Q' was always alittle stubborn on that keyboard. Sorry." This marks the first military action taken against Nussbaum since a malfunctioning shift key prompted Ulster Unionists to detonate his Ford Taurus in 1998. credit: The Onion, the World's Finest News Source
Guest Will Scarlet Posted October 19, 2002 Report Posted October 19, 2002 Yes. At least I found it kind of funny.
Guest MrRant Posted October 19, 2002 Report Posted October 19, 2002 Talk about a poorly written excuse for a joke.
Guest Agent of Oblivion Posted October 19, 2002 Report Posted October 19, 2002 We just bombed Ira to take his oil.
Guest kkktookmybabyaway Posted October 20, 2002 Report Posted October 20, 2002 Sorry, but whenever Onion material is presented to me, I just read it and go, "I can make up better sh*t than this..."
Guest Jobber of the Week Posted October 20, 2002 Report Posted October 20, 2002 Wow. I know I didn't find this that funny, but you guys have no sense of humor or something? Even the stuffiest boards I know get a smile out of The Onion. Probably the best thing going on the internet today anymore.
Guest Cancer Marney Posted October 20, 2002 Report Posted October 20, 2002 They've taken a hard left turn on the Iraq issue, and the article quoted was amateurish and silly. Hardly unusual, as they almost always have one screw-up per week. The FAA ban story was slightly better, but on the whole I think this entire edition was pretty lame.

Hey, if this pub can make a living for the people producing it, and provide entertainment to some people reading it, then cool. I, however, am not one of these people...
