Packers Fan Announces He Will Return To Drinking For Another Season

February 12th, 2010 | Posted by Jeff

Is it a stereotype when it’s true?  This is literally exactly how Green Bay Packers fans are!  I should know, since many of the people who visit this site are “Packer Backers”.  I don’t really get the appeal of the Packers, but then again, I carry the weight of the tortured soul of a Minnesota Vikings fan.

Go Pack Go!

VH1 Reality Show Bus Crashes In California Causing Major Slut Spill

January 6th, 2010 | Posted by Jeff

Not sure if Johnny Knoxville agreed to this video, but it’s a good one.  The premise?  A bunch of “slutty” women are in a bus to take part on his show, and the bus crashes.  Chaos ensues.

I must warn you that there is some NSFW language, and just a tinge of nudity from one of the “sluts” – buyer beware.

Ford Unveils New Car For Cash-Strapped Buyers: The 1993 Taurus

November 13th, 2009 | Posted by Jeff

Bass CannonI particularly love this video because my family had a Ford Taurus station wagon growing up, or as my sister called it “a grocery getter.”

Grocery getting aside, our family managed to get a lot of mileage out of this beast, and my sister was able to completely pimp out the stereo system, complete with a bass cannon!  Damn that bass cannon was cool!

Anyway, the folks at the Onion do it again with their sarcastic perspective on saving money; just buy a really old piece of shit car.  A Ford Taurus is a natural fit.

Facebook, Twitter Revolutionizing how Parents Stalk their Kids

September 2nd, 2009 | Posted by Jeff

Finally my day job and my hobby website converge on a topic that is hilarious on both fronts.   Leave it the Onion to make a parody of something that is extremely current and relevant: the increased presence of parents on Facebook, and to a lesser extent, Twitter.

Facebook Twitter OnionI have personally witnessed this phenomenon, as several of my aunts are avid Facebook users (in fact, they might be reading this note right now, as it posts to my Facebook “notes” page.  Hi!

In this video, an “e-mom” looks at all of the college photos of her son, looks at his photos, checks up on potential love interests and more.  She’ll even form opinions about the girls he dates, and warn the girls to “keep their slut hands off her son” – things that any concerned parent already does.  Now they can do it electronically!

Her Twitter page is even more hilarious, as she reveals the formula for stalking your kid.  “You just pick a name that’s very common, and then you add the year that your son or daughter was born… just make sure you spell things wrong and swear a lot.”

Great work by the Onion!

Mexico Builds Border Wall To Keep Out US Assholes

July 14th, 2009 | Posted by Jeff

It’s funny because it’s true!!

Actually, I am definitely intrigued by the angle that the Onion took in this video.  Do Mexicans really just hate stupid Americans?  They have every right to!  Most of the DB’s that you see on TV deserve a beating.   I have never been a big Spring Breaker, so I am excluded from this video… are you???

Gymnast Shawn Johnson Put To Sleep After Breaking Leg – The Onion

June 19th, 2009 | Posted by Jeff

Kudos to the Onion once again for their ability to make anything funny.  In this video, they talk about Olympic Gymnast Shawn Johnson as if she is a horse.  A horse who just broke her leg and had to be euthanized.

Some classic lines from her “parents” in this video, talking about how since she couldn’t compete in Gymnastics anymore, or if she did compete, she wouldn’t be the same, they had to put her down.   They didn’t even get a chance to breed her!  However, they will raise other gymnasts, and the next one will be named “Spirit of Shawn.”  I can’t wait to see her compete in the 2024 Summer games!

Apple Introduces Revolutionary New Laptop With No Keyboard – The Onion

January 6th, 2009 | Posted by Jeff

I love the Onion! Nothing better than a joke newspaper writing awesome headlines that make me laugh at least once a week.  Over the past few years, they have also gradually added video to their site and some of the videos they produce are also quite good!

Yesterday they released a fake news story in honor of the MacWorld expo that is happening this week.  Excellent timing and a very well done joke news story about a fictitious new product by Apple.  They do a great job of playing up the biases that many people have toward Apple’s innovations (i.e. everything they put out is better than everything else) and also touch on the fact that often “easy to use” and “practical” are two different things.

My favorite line(s):

“everything is just a few hundred clicks away”

“I’ll buy almost anything if it’s shiny and made by apple”

“I like sending an email that says ’sent from a MacBook Wheel’ – that lets everyone know you have one”
