Semi-intellectual moment here people: He chose to fight that fucking gorilla. If he chose to, then I have nothing to say about it. He fought it, and nothing good came out of, nor to quarrels with animals.

Non-intellectual moment here people: Taking the Onion seriously is like relying on Fox for Democrat news.


For OP:
The Onion is totally real. You just have to believe in it!

[spoiler=OP don't read]I'd argue its worse, as the onion has put out articles like this. http://www.theonion.com/articles/poll-1 ... tus,18127/[/spoiler]

No. The Onion makes shit up to provide valuable social commentary. The Daily Fail makes shit up because it's a trash heap.

That actually made it a lot less funny and sort of depressing.

The gorilla, however, eventually stopped responding to the drugs and returned with a vengeance.

"If we had caught this thing earlier, before its growth got completely out of control, David would have had a much better chance of survival," Patterson said. "But after it reached the silverback stage, it was only a matter of time."

It's quite funny actually. :)

Even though it is a bit insensitive, nut it is satire after all.

Had it been cancer, I would have, since Ardoki makes quite a point. However, even though this story is fabricated, I don't.

I don't. But that's because they thought one of my favorite articles was real, so I got to read it again. :D

At least he wasn't using the article as an argument in favor of racial profiling.
Crimes committed by Muslims will be a pan-Islamic plot and proof of Islam's inherent evil. On the other hand crimes committed by non-Muslims will merely be the acts of loners who do not represent their belief system at all.
The probability of one's participation in homosexual acts is directly proportional to one's public disdain and disgust for homosexuals.
If a political figure makes an accusation of wrongdoing without evidence, odds are probable that the accuser or an associate thereof has in fact committed the very same act, possibly to a worse degree.

I am terrorized by a swarm of bloodthirsty tarsiers who wake me in the wee hours of the night and will not relent until I am a tangled in torn blankets, a quivering weeping heap on the floor. Their teeth are vicious and tear at my flesh, but the worst is their eyes...
