fotografz Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 <p>Not unlike the self absorbed reality TV programs. The humdrum and banal lifted to new heights of humdrummery and banality. </p> <p>Folks like to mock it all ... yet the number of watchers of "reality" shows and participants on Facebook, Twitter, etc., etc., etc, grows expodentially. </p> <p>What ... ever ... !</p> <p> </p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hector Javkin Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 <p>Thanks, Ellis!<br> Marc, it's satire, rather well done. Look at some of the other "news" stories--just a little beyond what you get in journalism intended to be treated as real.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter_simpson1 Posted September 13, 2013 Share Posted September 13, 2013 <p>@Hector: The beauty of the Onion is that sometimes, unwitting news sites pick up their stories and present them as real.<br> Onion staff know they've succeeded when they have to put out releases explaining that some other publication's "news" was, in fact, an Onion satirical piece. IIRC, this has happened several times in the past year :-)</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
