Shouldn't have gone with the cheap knock-off brand like that. Only buy the GENUINE Sqny.

This must have been made by the same Sony team who designed my 5+1 Receiver that took me hours to figure out how to change the freaking speaker balance for.

omgyes. This is perfectly timed as I'm trying to parse XML with Tcl and it just. doesn't. work. I think "XML" stands for "Feature Not Yet Implemented". Sony also sucks, although I do not have a timely story or witticism to illustrate that.
Also also: "McCain Gearing Up For 2012 Funeral"

But seriously, there's something interesting here. The whole time I was watching it, I was like "can they SAY that??" Not because of the swearing but because of the "Sony". It's pretty revealing that I thought they'd get in trouble for expressing disapproval of a major corporation while I didn't have any problem with the (supposed) actual taboo.

First three comments favorited for being the best meta-meta-joke of the day.

So I was all about to unload my "I can't decide what sucks more, Sony or the Onion, AMIRITE!?" but while this was actually an even more uninspired premise then normal for the Onion, it was actually pretty funny. Especially because Sony really sucks.
Only way this would have been better is if they were talking about Apple. Not because Apple sucks worse then Sony (they don't) but because it would have driven their fanboys nuts.

I am a big fan of The Onion video segments. How are they making money off of their video segments?

Saw it on the tube
Bought it on the phone
Now you're home alone
With a piece of crap
I tried to plug in it
I tried to turn it on
When I got it home
It was a piece of crap
I went back to the store
They gave me four more
The guy told me at the door
It's a piece of crap
