Guest SP-1 Report post Posted March 28, 2004 Generally I don't head over to the Onion. I have no qualm with it and often find something pretty funny amongst the sometimes too-dry wit. But then they'll post something so absurd with just the right amount of photoshop trickery that I have to laugh. This made me laugh heartily. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If there's an audience for "Whose Line is it Anyway?" then there surely must be an audience for The Onion.

KK Rage 0 Report post Posted March 29, 2004 I'd have to say that one of the funniest Onion articles I caught was in one of their books. It was talking about how nobody gave a shit about the Somalia genocide in 1992 because of The Dream Team debuting at the same time in the Olympics. There was something where they asked a guy about Somalia and he trails off into basket ball and is all, "I mean, Michael, Magic and Larry are all starters! And Clyde Drexler is on the bench!"
