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...

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

Remember in The Jerk when "Pizza in a cup" was a big joke?
"I can't eat this, I'm a foodie."
ReplyDeleteThis 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:
