Re: You have to be kidding me! This is just awful!
I'm a regular reader of the Onion, and I tell ya, that's a little bit much. Now, if both his parents hadn't just got sick, then joking about something like "hamstring cancer" would be hilarious, but come on guys, wrong time, wrong place.

I'm about speechless. That's beyond low. Disgusting. I better stop before I write something I shouldn't.

Re: You have to be kidding me! This is just awful!
I'd have to echo some sentiments here. I generally find the Onion funny, but I really don't see anything in the article I could catergorize as funny or clever, just dumb and inappropriate.

Re: You have to be kidding me! This is just awful!
It's doubly bad: not only insulting, but not even humorous. If you're going to go all the way with a comic schtick, make it funny. Instead, it's just dumb.

That's just plain disturbing. Those writers have serious issues if they find that funny.

Re: You have to be kidding me! This is just awful!
I never heard of The Onion until now, this is pathetic. These people should get off their butts and make a real living. Guess I'm getting old. This is one of the most pitiful things I have seen for quite a while.

Re: You have to be kidding me! This is just awful!
I'm offended that they produced such an unfunny article. I think you can joke about anything as long as you do it well, but this article is probably the weakest writing I've ever seen in the Onion.

So you're saying that the topic of the piece was fine, but the writing was poor. Wow. |
