The Onion, haha, is funny, no? Not even the funniest clip there! You're telling me that was better than this?

MetaFilter is most definitely a high-risk skull-fucking area.

I was all "zomg, a single Onion link, are you serious?!" but then I watched it and hearing "skullfucking" repeated about 50 times is hilarious.

Nah, the real gold down the Onion way these days is their Sunday Magazine section. See for example: "I Just Wish I Could Stop Shitting Blood" Heterosexual Men's Fashion Spring 2006 Sides: Are You On The Right One?

Both delmoi and McLir are correct. Hence, I watched, in horror.

You’re either for the skull fuckers or against them, and some people here seem curiously ambivalent. If those people have nothing to hide then they have nothing to fear from advanced methods of interrogation like getting skull fucked.

Yeah, ten seconds to check the representatives for Ohio to see that there's no Ben Sinclair. So from there, it's what? the novelty (none) of hearing a parody of a bill in Congress? Ultrameh.

By: dhammond

dhammond — Thu, 23 Aug 2007 16:58:32 -0800

Yeah, ten seconds to check the representatives for Ohio to see that there's no Ben Sinclair. For future reference, you can assume that The Onion is not real.

You fact checked a video on The Onion? now that's funny -- he saved the thread, you should thank him

Wait, let me get this straight: You fact checked a video on The Onion? Like ibmcginty said, they sometimes are remarkably accurate. You never know.

By: baphomet

baphomet — Thu, 23 Aug 2007 17:18:40 -0800

the novelty (none) of hearing a parody of a bill in Congress? Ultrameh. I refer you to the closing line of the clip: "In closing, let me say this: if we do not open our eyes to reality soon, they will get fucked right out of our heads." If that doesn't crack you up, just skip The Onion from now on.

Yeah, ten seconds to check the representatives for Ohio to see that there's no Ben Sinclair.

Not only did I fact-check the name, I did a search of the Congressional Record to see if this was based on an actual speech by the Ohio 17th District Rep.
