United States bombs Ira

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.

Talk about a poorly written excuse for a joke.

The Onion sucks

[Guest kkktookmybabyaway]

Sorry, but whenever Onion material is presented to me, I just read it and go, "I can make up better sh*t than this..."

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.

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.

I have a great sense of humor. Problem is none of it involves TO. 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...
