I'm hoping you are being as satirical as that article.

[Crouchaldinho]

Sometimes it's just necessary to add a ;):rolleyes:

[SounderMan]

That article is about a half a year old. It was posted and discussed months ago.

Boycott the Onion...what a hoot.

Time to look up the word satire, on whatever source of your choice.

Look forward to more of your posts, BTW.

I especially like that the article is in the Womens section. :)

Correction. Look at the navigation bar:

"Sports> Womens Sports/Soccer" section.

:D

The Onion is an embarrassment to journalism. :mad:

Could be that's because it ISN'T journalism, but you know that, right? RIGHT? Please tell me you understand The Onion is a wonderful satire web site with hilarious fake stories that sound like they could be true but aren't? And that your mad face is simply an extremely lame attempt at sarcasm?

Sheesh, people...most of what you read on the web isn't true...The Onion just makes it easier by telling you upfront.

WTF?? Are you telling me that this story (http://www.theonion.com/content/news/lance_armstrong_inspires_thousands?utm_source=a-section) isn't true??? Or this one (http://www.theonion.com/content/video/congresswoman_says_botched?utm_source=a-section)?? OMG! I'm horrified!! Someone needs to write someone and tell them the horrors of The Onion! :)

Please don't be upset, baby.

Although I don't know what made you mad, rest assured that I didn't mean it. Smoove would never hurt you.

Was it my words? My words should only be used to describe your beauty and to express the deep feelings that I have for you. If some of my words somehow went astray and hurt you, please accept my apologies.

Was it one of my actions? Was it when I lit a fire in the fireplace after you said you were chilly? Maybe instead, you wanted Smoove to wrap you in a blanket and hold you close.

Perhaps you were upset by the sliced fruit that I brought to you. I brought you those slices of fruit because I thought that you might be hungry. If those fruit slices were not fresh enough, I will go to the 24-hour supermarket all the way on the other side of town and hand-select the store's ripest kiwi, in hopes that you will find it acceptable. If you don't like kiwi, I will seek out a farmers market and purchase fresh fruits of the finest local varieties.

Perhaps you became angry when I caressed your neck and shoulders. Was I too rough? Maybe you didn't want the muscles in your neck eased at that moment. If that was the case, then I am sorry.

Was it one of those things that made you upset? Please talk to me. Smoove can't read minds.

If you would tell me what angered you, I could make it better, either by correcting my error or by treating you in so sensual a manner that you would forget all about it.

The Onion has gone seriously downhill since it was bought out by the Chinese.

[WestSeattle]

In all seriousness, the Onion went downhill when it tried to produce videos and twitter-paced content. It used to be *the* funniest media-parody site/paper ever. Now it just makes me chuckle, instead of bust a gut. Too bad, because for a while, the Onion might have been the funniest site, ever.

That said, thid Seattle piece is pretty funny though; although the story about Bill Gates' D&D Character is much funnier.

[edwardgr]

Moved as this has hardly any Sounders connection at all, but is still mildly amusing.

Carry on.
