Stock…photo…agency? All my illusions are shattered – I thought surely the government would show real happy government workers! :mad:
My new (perhaps all-time) favourite:
Bob Marley Rises From Grave To Free Frat Boys From Bonds Of Oppression
can be found here. Perfect timing, too, as the students swarm the streets outside my window.
This one was from Our Dumb Century. Page 106: “‘The Man’ Hurt by Black Panther Accusations.’”
You are thinking of an article that appears on page 56, “Thousands Dead After Radio’s Charlie McCarthy Calls For Mass Suicide.” No reference to senator Joseph McCarthy, this one is poking fun at the War of the Worlds hysteria. In The Onion’s universe, no one listened to that broadcast, since they were too busy taking the dummy’s advice to take their own life. It’s the only solution. Take your own life. It’s the only solution. Take your own life. It’s the only solution. Take your own life. It’s the only solution. Take your own life. It’s the only solution.
Some of my favorites are the more unsual editorials, for example: They Should Name An Ice Cream Treat After Me and Point/Counterpoint: Advertising. (“Outdoor Advertising is a Blight on Our Society”/“I Just Wanted To Tell The Nice People About the Yogurt.”)
The one I still find funniest is also from the post-9/11 issues. This time, Oct. 3, 2001:
A Shattered Nation Longs To Care About Stupid Bullshit Again
Oh, that was great. Usally since I end up doing the same thing every time I see those commericals.
“My anti-drug is putting on fatiuges and training with my militia”
Oh, that was great. Usally since I end up doing the same thing every time I see those commericals.
“My anti-drug is putting on fatiuges and training with my militia”
Not that I do either, but that would make a funny commerical.
I can’t remember the headline, but there was one I really liked that was something like
“Area Gay man Saves Children From Fire,” with lines in it like “He was taken to the local hospital and pronounced in stable condition, and gay.” “He’s the kind of man I’d want my children to grow up like…I mean, in terms of courage.” Every other sentence had to point out that he was gay. It was funny. And gay.
