anybody read The Onion? it's a great little satirical paper published weekly...they cover anything from politics to entertainment to everything in between...i try to get it on paper but when i can't find it, i go to www.onion.com...good thing to relieve some stress throughout a busy work day!

this week's headline is:

Palestine Appoints New Minister Of Rubble And
Urban Development

"Palestine is in need of a strong leader to spark growth in urban areas and manage our burgeoning rubble sector, which is the fastest growing in the world."

"Having worked in the private sector as a rubble developer and organizer, Mr. Al-Katif understands Palestine's rubble situation," Arafat said. "He has a strong plan that charts a path to capitalization on our vast and ever-increasing supply of rock fragments and crumbled masonry."

Continued Arafat: "Palestinians need a man of Mr. Al-Katif's unequaled vision. In the coming years, he will oversee the construction of many wonderful new schools, courthouses, banks, and monuments. He will then truck away the remains of those buildings and monuments when they're reduced to gravel and dust."

...I LOVE the onion!...But when Pimp sees this....

doesn't really have to turn into a nonsensical political debate again...it's about the paper and who reads it or if you have never heard of it, here's your opportunity to find a few laughs...but i think you're probably right...and at the same time i don't really care, hehe...

TheOnion is one of my favorite websites. I can get it on my cell phone too (thru a browser) so when I'm bored and need a good laugh that's where I go. The articles are absurd, but every well written, so if you email an article to someone and don't tell them it's a joke they may well get spun up. Makes it even more fun!

oh i didn't know you could get it over your cell phone! what is the WAP site addy?

EDIT: nevermind, found it...it's mobile.theonion.com

Their horoscopes are good too. Here's mine for the week; pretty discouraging:

"It's not too late for you to learn new tricks in the bedroom, but it's too sad and disgusting to even think about."

I download The Onion to my PDA every week. Love it.

I think my favourite edition of all time was the "Holy Fµcking Shít!" issue that appeared on 9/26/01. Amongst the memorable articles were:
U.S. Vows To Defeat Whoever It Is We're At War With (http://www.theonion.com/onion3734/us_vows_to_defeat_whoever.html)
God Angrily Clarifies 'Don't Kill' Rule (http://www.theonion.com/onion3734/god_clarifies_dont_kill.html)
and my personal favourite
Hijackers Surprised To Find Selves In Hell: 'We Expected Eternal Paradise For This,' Say Suicide Bombers (http://www.theonion.com/onion3734/hijackers_surprised.html)

*EDITED* ok so i thought this was for real , hey matt why dont u shut up for once

um..pimp. You do realize that "The Onion" is a joke newspaper, website right?

You are really showing your mental capacity.


and again....it is WHAT not wat.

We are all please that you took this forum to make a fool of yourself.

close this before we start insulting each other

Heh, humor is so lost on some people. I live in Milwaukee and travel to Madison regularly so the Onion is a staple and is free at just about any place that is worth going into. If any of you are unfamiliar with The Onion go check out the compilation books they have at most large bookstores. By the way, Mental, I'll take you thinking it's funny about me being banned as a compliment, I really wouldn't want you on my side in any argument.

Ike

Geez, Ike and the Pimple onstage together. Can it possibly get any better than this? Hey Ike, I thought you were banned; what happened?

I was talking about you.

At least IKE knows what he is talking about and he can articulate it.

How is your reading of the history of Isreal and Palestine going?

its going well, i researched and found the maps that the U.N has made in the 1940s that would make the Jewish and Palestinian state, im gonna make a thread about it

ill do it as soon when i get home, im in school now :(

Pimp,

Here is some genuine advice.

I understand your points, BUT, they get lost in your mindless rants. Try to keep your points clear and direct. It's hard to take someone seriously if they come across as a complete moron. Also, I understand your profile is a joke but it's not making you seem believable in a legitimate argument......LLama humping?

My .02 cents.

hey matt, no offense (honestly) but how old are you? i hope you're around 15 cuz you're arguing with a 15 year old...it also seems like you're the aggressor here as you clearly attacked and provoked him this time...

i'm not taking any sides, and this has absolutely nothing to do with the Palestine/Israel debate, err, debacle...i just think it's fruitless to waste the hours you have left on your wrists before you develop carpal tunnel syndrome...

again, no offense...flame wars are fun to watch and even be in sometimes but not when it's unwarranted and will obviously lead to nowhere

what's the point? there's clearly no sensitivity to your Palestinian cause here...you end up just looking like an ass since you seem so completely oblivious to factual evidence and keep repeating yourself a dozen times since you have no evidence to back up your own claims...instead you're very biased and one sided in your opinions and are unopen to an intelligent debate...if i have to read another "but my brothers and sisters are getting slaughtered by those Israeli pigs" one more time, i'm gonna shoot myself...

do us all a favor, pick up your phone and dial WHINE-1-1...i'm sure they'll listen

The Onion is a very funny on-line site and its jokes are pure satire.

However, somehow I don't think this thread is about The Onion and its humor, but instead how to provoke Mental Pimp.

In other words, one good joke to begin with - two pages of rubbish to follow.

What a waste of time.
