The Onion is pulling no punches lately.

Their pitch room must be running 24/7 with all the material lately.

My heart froze for a second when I thought I saw nottheonion and I'm glad I was wrong

Onion used to do satire. Now it's just a prediction machine.

I'm ever so slightly disappointed that they didn't work in the recent statement about teaching the slaves "skills" to benefit them.
