Onion time!
Am I the only one who finds The Onion's latest video more depressing than funny? Talking about the Catholic Church's opposition to contraception and a bullied gay kid is just hard to make funny after a while.
Radioactive afikomen Please ignore all my awful pre-2014 comments.
no, you're not. it's pretty much just pathetic.
Godotoi, putain, genial, merci
Satire doesn't need to be funny, though. While I don't think The Onion is the best example of it, Bremner, Bird and Fortune tends to look like it's building up to a great punchline before going really dark. The gay 12 year-old thing isn't so much trying to be funny as it is holding up a mirror to the world and saying "hey world, you're fuck ugly".
I feel kind of bad for linking that one now. Here, have an Onion video that's less depressing.
