The Onion

The Onion takes real current events and satirizes them to make them funny yet, show how ridiculous some things really are. For example, in the article about Bush, he is reminiscing about his two terms in office, and how he had great power for nearly a decade, yet did nothing significant. And in the video news report about “The Next Big Thing” being created at the Disney Labs.

I found this particularly funny, because as an 18 year old I still enjoy watching the Disney Channel with my cousins and friends, and it was really funny because for the past few years, it seems you can only get a job at Disney if you’re a triple threat, meaning you can sing, dance, and act.
