Ah! Busted! Wow. That's like watching someone get pulled over by the cops, and then finding out they've got stolen christmas presents in the trunk. posted by Baby_Balrog at 8:15 AM on March 25, 2005

Or get adblock. Adblock is lovely. I didn't see the popunders either. posted by Lafe at 8:16 AM on March 25, 2005

Until he covers himself with butter and slides between the bars. posted by jonmc at 8:18 AM on March 25, 2005
I assume someone is taking this to MeTa...or flagging it...or dusting off the banhammer...? posted by tpl1212 at 8:20 AM on March 25, 2005
I can't believe it's not butter! posted by fandango_matt at 8:23 AM on March 25, 2005

You think the bars are going to be close enough together to give him that good friction he needs? posted by dios at 8:29 AM on March 25, 2005
Mmm, adblock. Also, farkfilter. And tpl1212, look at those cute little exclamation points[!] posted by sninky-chan at 8:29 AM on March 25, 2005
Does Rutledge get a time-out or what? posted by fixedgear at 8:30 AM on March 25, 2005
Delete. Ban. Rinse hands.
Isn't the Onion-ripoff market pretty much tapped out by now? On Yahoo! they have 110 different parody news websites listed. And every college and high school newspaper does this type of issue at least once or twice a year. Don't quit your day job, Jason. posted by Arch Stanton at 8:31 AM on March 25, 2005
Worse than NewsFilter, FakeNewsFilter. I'm a little tired of these stupid parody sites that attempt to be funny when they really aren't. The $4.5 million dollar three year contract was far too over the top. Though I admit to liking the picture.
Where are the damned Friday Flash Games? I want to abuse some penguins and smash into ex-boyfriends with my BMX bike! posted by fenriq at 8:33 AM on March 25, 2005
I would go one further and argue that the Onion itself is pretty tapped out at this point. posted by Swampjazz! at 8:33 AM on March 25, 2005

I haven't willingly loaded The Onion in a few years or more. I think the last funny thing I read there was something along the lines of "Holy shit! New York turns into a Jerry Bruckheimer movie!"
That was a nice breath of fresh air at the time, considering how freaked out and reactionary everyone else was at the time.
And the "Holy shit! Man walks on the fucking moon!" mp3 from the multimedia section is always worth a giggle. posted by loquacious at 8:42 AM on March 25, 2005

I hate unfunny websites, and this is one of the unfunniest ones I've seen in a long time. Mrbill is wrong-- any link to any onion story ever written is better then this tripe. posted by chaz at 9:11 AM on March 25, 2005
Baby Balrog-
It didn't seem too many people disliked your post. You even got a few compliments. Quonsar wasn't impressed, but that's not shocking. It's not like this place is regulated by WWQD. posted by mic stand at 9:18 AM on March 25, 2005
