The Onion closing down.

[Swagger]

The Onion is a cheap rip-off of Britain's Private Eye. Always has been, always will be.

 

[Annie]

Wow, from Daily Kos and one didn't think to read the ending?

Author's Note:

Yes, I authored this piece, not The Onion -- though if the latter comes calling with a job offer, I have a number in mind.

 

[Intense]

Going to miss them.

For nearly 25 years, The Onion has been satirizing American politics and society with unparalleled brilliance. However, the fake news publication – or "America's Finest News Source" – has sadly and stunningly announced that it will cease operations in 2014.

Oh, c'mon. Next you'll be accusing the NY and Hollywood television network slugs of ripping off a whole slew of Brit reality shows, comedy sitcoms, game shows, etc., etc.

Sad to hear that:

This was one of the classic Onion/USMB moments:

THE funniest thing about that was when 9-11insidejob actually believed it was real.

Oh no!
They've provided some great moments of misguided outrage on this very forum!

I posted a good many of their stories..EXPLAINING that it was the onion and STILL there were people that were fooled.

This right here exemplifies the RW's faux outrage.

They weren't fooled my brother, they were just waiting and latching on to anything that they could direct their faux outrage at.

Nothing more, nothing less.

They just WANTED to be mad. That's it.

You guys having fun with your strawmen?

I'm sure Soros will save them by donated lots of Euros.
He's too smart to be holding $$$$s.

Pretty sure the Left got pwned and punked again

Maybe he accessed the raw police reports of the LA OWS business massacre of small business owners, which triggered his turn-off spigot.

Well, I feel so brake up

Nobody except the "onion" ever called "the onion" America's finest news source. Maybe they should have filed for a tax exempt status like the Soros junk propaganda news.
