    When was the last time the Onion did anything "real"? :lol:

    Anyway, this is great. I have a sudden craving for fish, though...

    Read some of the recent articles and, more notably, watch some of the more recent videos. It's about as real as a $3 bill. The question is how long will they be "under this ownership." There's only so many "Chinese people like fish" jokes one can do.

    ;)

    It was only a matter of time that The Finest News Source would do such a thing since leaving the midwest.

    I sent this to my friend on the Chinese mainland, thinking that she wouldn't be able to get through. Surprisingly she did, and found it funny. She also said "It sounds like Chinese newspapers a little bit". Heh.

    I found it funny too.
