Jcamp Posted February 16, 2013 Share Posted February 16, 2013 That was hilarious! Thanks for posting. It really is classic Onion material. But never published, really? It definately had some great quotes, "What followed was nothing short of stunning............I just started ramping up the asinine levels to epic proprtions knowing that at some point, it would be too much... ". Quote Link to post Share on other sites

KevinG Posted February 17, 2013 Share Posted February 17, 2013 The story was way too high concept for the Onion. The Onion specializes in the absurdity or irony of the mundane. While I liked the idea of the of the story, the writing was awful. It read more like bad short fiction rather then an actual news story. I mean 9 paragraphs in and then you get to the newsworthy portion (Rush Limbaugh is Andy Kaufman)? Talk about burying the lead. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
