"Experts predict that the penultimate catastrophe will occur at approximately 7:15 p.m. Thursday night, when the social networking tool Twitter will be used to communicate a series of ideas so banal they will instantaneously negate the three centuries of the Renaissance."
I love The Onion. So many of their gags are so obvious once they've said it. I liked the one this week about Obama's teleprompter conking out during family dinner.
Speaking of falling standards, Mrs Tin has been watching I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out of Here, and how cruel is that show? We should have the theme for that on the desperation A list; if I ever get that desperate for attention, please shoot me.
Wifeswap was pretty demeaning I thought, but I've been thinking they could sorta combine wifeswap, wifemakeover and the dance ones and do a Strictly Come Poledancing.

I wonder which songs were being nominated on RR at that time...

I love The Onion. Thanks for posting.
Probably some illiterate recommending Hip Hop.
Hmmm....7:15 Thursday night is about when RR goes up every week, EST.
Um ... isn't that about when I wrote & posted my Dolorean justification thread for *gasp* Laziness topic?!?!?
this all seems awfy familiar
I think it was me with my Clayhill nom!
I'd like to nominate "Africa" by Toto.
If you liked Baconnaise and Jimmy Dean's Hot Dog On A Stick, you'll like Push Up Macaroni & Cheese, and Pizza with everything.
Cheesy Blasters!!

Remember in The Jerk when "Pizza in a cup" was a big joke?
"I can't eat this, I'm a foodie."
This also probably didn't help.

Pardon me for sounding like a broken record but although I do find The Onion funny, the British equivalent is more my sort of humour:
