The Onion Recovers
Back in the good olde days I used to really enjoy visiting the Onion. The sarcasm was so good that many of the articles required a moment of reading before you were convinced that it was a joke. However several years back the site lost some of its quality as the jokes became more obvious and sophomoric. It seems they have regained their stride just take a look at this headline.
The full story can be found here. Be warned you will laugh your ass off.

how is this like the onion? It just shows that people see bad traits in other people more than they seem them in themselves.
…duh?

Indeed my clear as day joke is that some legitmate report from CNN is so bad that it sounds like satire.

please, oh wise and benevolent steve, explain why this report sounds like the onion. It sounds to me more like standard reporting on a pretty obvious topic, rather than satire.

Look its not my fault that most of what CNN publishes can be confused with satire. It must be a statement about how their journalistic standards are being compromised for the political disposition.
I resent being called benevolent. Thats saying im nice. There as some insults that go to far.
