I laugh because it's true...well, sort of.

I have recently re-discovered my long lost love of The Onion.

Most of you are probably already familiar with this wonderful piece of print/internet/whatever. Not familiar? The best definition of The Onion probably comes from Wikipedia: "The Onion is a newspaper of parody and satire, published weekly in print and on the Internet." Or you could say that it's fake news akin to The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, but you read it instead of watching.

How can you not love stories like Investigators Blame Stupidity In Area Death (not a Highly Sophisticated Redneck), Couple Upstairs Going At It Again, or even Area Man Training For Upcoming Sanford And Son Marathon (hits close to home, I know).



So, if you've never read The Onion before and you're not a tight-ass, give it a shot. You'll probably like it. Read it before and forgot about the parody goodness? Go back for some more. Do it. Do it now.

Hell, sometimes it's almost a look into the future: Man's Impending Death Alcohol-Related.
