The People's Republic of China will overtake the United States as the world's dominant asshole by the year 2020. "Don't forget that Great Britain was the world's dominant asshole for well over three centuries, and look at it now: a pussy-whipped shell of the insufferable, bullying jackass it used to be."

Since my own awesome Onion post got deleted, I am going to flag this so hard.

I thought the Onion wrote satire.

You folks ever read through 'Our Dumb World?' Man, vitriol doesn't begin to cover it. Lots of gems in there for those that know their history, and plenty of pop culture references for those that like those too. I'll say it again though, vitriol. Some may find it a little over the top.

The Onion will overtake McSweeneys as the humor site that everyone knows about most over posted to the Blue in 2010. Possibly earlier.
