    The Onion has lost all credibility since a couple of weeks.

    EDIT: Geez you people don’t like jokes… I’m saying this because reality got so stupid lately that even The Onion can’t go far enough. And it’s the very nature of satire not to be credible. That’s what the joke was all about, it’s… The Onion lol. Also fuck you all if you’re trigerred by this.

          I call it humor.

          Congrats, you’ve just experienced your first time “bombing” it’s something every aspiring comedian experiences. Write better jokes.

                I’m just jocking lol. There’s many reason to be mad right now, a bad joke (there I’m admitting it) isn’t a good one.

                  My dude… You told a bad joke, you got downvoted for it, and started whining about how nobody understood your joke. Nobody seems mad except you.

                    I take it back, it was a good joke actually. BTW you’re the one who got all triggered over this.

      Satire sites don’t lose by losing credibility … they lose by gaining credibility

      This is either an amazing joke, or a really stupid statement.

        I don’t understand how so many of you even took this seriously.

          I can’t speak for others, but I have autism and interpret things literally unless there are obvious signs of a joke. I’m one of the people that benefit from textual tone indicators.

            Fair enough. It’s the nature of satire not to be credible, and that’s what the joke was all about.

      Just wanted to say that I understood your joke immediately and it gave me a good laugh. Irony in text is tricky. These are triggering times so I can see how people got confused…

        Lol thanks. I wasn’t expediting so much reaction for this. I mean it’s The Onion…
