Is it just me, or does "The Onion" suck now? I can not remember the last time I laughed at anything on that site.

It hasn't been funny for at least two years now.
Oh sure, there are the occasional hilarious stories.. but for the most part... not so much.
1996, the onion was funny. 2004? not so much.

Yes, it was a good post. It was succinct. I do not have to spew keyboard diarrhea of 3,000 words to express a thought. I wanted to start a debate on an observation I had.
Interesting how you attack me instead of discussing the idea in the posting.
On a related note, I now remember the last time I laughed out loud at an Onion piece. It was the opinion column in which the 15 year old kid thought that blowing up a guy in a wheelchair with a missile kicked ass.
Okay, everyone can now begin attacking my sense of humor.
Just to make myself clear, I have been a huge fan of "The Onion." When I say "it sucks," I mean it sucks when compared to its former outrageousness.

I stand by my statement. The humor used to be "biting." Now, it is politically correct. It definitely has lost its edge.
(Yes, I gave myself a "2," again.)

I'm with you on this, but it looks like we are in the minority.

Onion is just a vegetable. It isn't supposed to be funny, as such.

It's you. The opinions are fabulous. The infographics are insightful. The helpful hints articles are splendid. The regular articles are still funny, even if theyre not as funny as they used to be.
I will agree, on some level. I havent seen a front-page article in a long time that has really made me laugh out loud. Remember? "Jews ordered back to Egypt for pyramid duty." "Clinton deploys vowels to Bosnia." "Alzheimer's patients demand cure for pancakes."
Maddox is still fucking hilarious. He doesnt serve you, you get him for free. Take his updates when he fucking gives them to you. Same for you Tucker Max hating bastards.

How can you not laugh at these headlines?
"Republicans Urge Minorities To Get Out And Vote On Nov. 3"
"Bush Campaign Paints Kerry As Pre-Raphaelite Contessa"
"Assistant Uses Cake To Smuggle Cake-Decorating Set To Martha Stewart"
Time for you to get on some antidepressants or something.

The onion was never funny.

Maddox is no longer funny, because Maddox never updates his site anymore. Now that you mention it, his updates have grown increasingly self-absorbed and bitter over time. Yes, I just gave myself a two.
