There is NO crying here! Just tears of laughter...

The Onion at Keene State College



This Thursday in the Mable Brown room at Keene State College, my classmates and I attended a show called the Onion.  Honestly, I had no idea what this was about, let alone what the Onion was.  As I sat waiting for the show to begin, my fellow classmate, Chelsea, gave me a little insight into what the Onion was.  The Onion is an online news source that portrays the news in a humeristic way.  Knowing this, I was able to grasp an idea as to what I was about to watch.  Two employees of the Onion opened up with a slide show showing some of the articles they wrote.  I want to be there friends.  I thought they were hilarious and witty with everything they were saying. 

One article they wrote was titled, A Black Man Gets the Worst Job in the Nation.  Speaking obviously about President Obama, I nearly lost it... I thought that was the funniest thing in the world!  Though they didn't speak much, nor get into much detail about their articles, I found myslef going to their website as soon as I got back to my house.  Their articles are informative, but in a way that expresses how they percieve it.  I barely watch or read about what's going on in the world because it's boring and depressing.  So, when reading the articles on the Onion, I become informed, but I also get a big kick out of it because some of the stuff is just hilarious and ridiculous.  It really makes you think just how stupid our country is.  Overall, the Onion is great! Everyone should go check it out!  http://www.theonion.com/  IT's HILARIOUS!
