I almost don't watch TV these days. Even less, around this tragedy. I know what they'll say, I know what nonsense to expect from them, and it's not worth wasting my time and nerve with it.

I use the Internet.

The Onion isn't funny, but at least they can be accurate sometimes.

To the types that are completely dry of any sense of humor, yes, it isn't funny.

[gunslnger]

And other types too, obviously.

[ddstory]

Obviously not.

"The Onion isn't funny?!?"

Dude. You must have had your funny bone removed.

Then again, the inability to perceive a joke can also be similar to the inability to perceive the logical progression of certain aspects of reality . . . which would certainly explain a lot of your posts. . . . ;-)

I can see that they're trying to be satirical, but they aren't funny about it. The Daily Show is funny, Colbert is funny, Monty Python is funny, the Onion isn't funny.
