My favorite one is Snowy Conditions Proving Hazardous for Nation's Idiot's because its very funny. They talk to stupid people who tried to get through the weather but couldn't. My favorite one is when this lady makes a slushy out of ice that's on her windshield and she busted her forehead. Laugh out loud!!
A church bible study group is about to take a Bible aptitude test. This is ridiculous because they believe memorization of the Bible effects what church they can get into. While it is good to read the Bible, it is not necessary to memorize it.
Well, I think that the Onion is kind of a waste of my time. It wasnt that funny, but I have to say some of it was. I don't see how a snake eating a toddler is funny.
I think the article about the Lingerie-wearing Boehner is very funny. It was a very big waste of my time, but it was really funny. This article is very weird and strange to me.
The snake swallowed the baby. That's is kind of funny. It some crazy mess though.
this is very funny. But, at the same time it's not funny cause of the baby. I would love to know how the snake did that. IT's very cool to see.
It was really funny to me. My favorite one was when this really fat lady had a snow cone and she sliped on ice fell and bust her head open. I really like this it made me laugh hard.
I think the article about the Siants losing the first round bye was the funniest one of all. It was funny because the Seahawks finished the season below.500 and everybody was expecting the Siants to beat them. The first round for the Sints was suppose to be an easy win.
The article about the Saints losing the first round bye is funny. Everyone thought the Seahawks were no match for the Saints, but they found out the seahawks is no joke. No one took the Seahawks serious but they proved that they are the team to beat.
I picked "Snowy Conditions Proving Hazardous for Nation's Idiots". The man was going to grab on the back of his friends truck and he slid along it from behind. He said it hurted really bad because it didn't work the way he wanted it to.
I thought each article was funny. The best one would have to be Boehner wearing lingerie. Also the snake eating the toddler was just plain out wrong.
I picked the article "The People Who Mattered In 2010." The person i picked was Glen Beck. He was the lone voice of reason In an age of Hysteria
The Onion is a very funny read for anybody. The article I picked was the one with Boehner's face photo shopped onto a picture of a man in lingerie. The site is full of wit and I will probably visit it frequently now.
My article was about how the New Orleans Saints lost to the Seattle Seahawks. It is really funny because the Seahawks had the worst record ever to get in the playoffs with. Then they go out and beat the Champions. This is crazy.
My favorite one was the one where St. Louis gave Albert Pujols a working key to the city, just because they wanted him to resign with the Cardinals. The funny thing about this is that it opens every door in the city, so basically he’s the king of the city. If I had that power I would want a key to New York City just to open all the doors.
Well I think the Onion is a good website. It helps you keep in contact with the lastest news. And I read about a snake eating a toddler that was crazy. But I really enjoy the website.
I think my favorite had to be the snake swallowing the toddler. its kinda funny and its not funny. I hope the toddler is ok.
The article I picked was the one with Boehner's face photo shopped onto a picture on a man with lingerie. I thought it was funny. The Onion is very funny to read.
I think the Onion is a very funny article. If you are in a bad mood and you need a laugh just read the Onion. You can't resist laughing after reading one of this articles. I think the article about, what are we hiding from our guest was interesting because it is true. The one that doesn't really catch my interest is the one about the toddler getting eaten by the huge anaconda. It is just very unnatural.
I chose to write about the Seattle Seahawks beat the New Orleans Saints. I think this is funny because the Seahawks have one of the worst records in the NFL. And the saints won the Super Bowl last year.
I found the man in lingerie the best one. It’s so disgusting and embarrassing! Ha-ha. This website is funny, and I guess people just get up there to entertain themselves.
It's funny how they gave Albert Pujols the key to St. Lewis. Like he is the king of St. Lewis. How they made a key that opens every door in the city.
My favorite was the snake swallowed the baby. It was funny and i hope the baby is ok.
I thought the article was kind of funny. My favorite one is the lady makes a slushy. I also like when the snake ate a toddler.
"Love will be everywhere this week, leaving you nowhere to hide when it gets violent and ugly the way it always does." This was my aquarius horoscope for this week. It sounds very promising to me! It definitely gave me a good laugh, I must say.
I think the Onion is funny. I like the article about the snake eating the toddler. I hope the toddler is ok.
The Onion is kind of a waste of my time. Its not very funny. I honestly don't see how a python eating a toddler is funny...
I don't find a lot of things on the Onion very funny. I mean some of it was alright. Most of the things on the Onion was not funny.
I think its very funny. Snowy Conditions Proving Hazardous For Nation's Idiots was funny. The fact that she fell eating a snow cone made me laugh.
I picked the article about Lebron James, Dewayne Wade, and Bosh. I think that is very nice that they stay up and review plays in their clubhouse. Maybe that's what makes them better.
I like the snowy conidtions article. Some people go outside to jump in a cold pond or to make a snowangel in the snow without warm clothes on. It's prtty useless and most people do this to make money.
I read about the money that was being sent to Iraq. That is rediculous how all that money is going to stupid things. Well, isn't nothing we can do about it.
I think the Onion isn't all that funny. The article with the Bible aptitude test was kind of funny. It is not necessary to memorize the bible.
I liked the snowy conditions because the reason they got hurt was ridiculous. They got hurt in the snow. the guy with the broke arm was the funniest.
The only one I really looked at was the man in lingerie. I thought it was a little laugh to look at that man in the bra. But... the onion wasn't that funny, I thought most of the articles were kind of dumb. I certainly wouldn't look up the onion for a laugh.
I don't think the Onion was that funny. I don't think that a church would ever make people take a test to get into a good church. If they did then that would be stupid.
The snake swallowing the baby. That is not funny at all. That was a very cruel thing to do.
I think the funniest one was when the Saints lost to the Seahawks. the Seahawks had one of the worst records and beat the team that won the superbowl last year. The saints thought they would have an easy win.
My favorite article is Snowy Conditions Proving Hazardous for Nation's Idiots. The video is very funny because people do stupid stuff. The woman with the slushi was the funniest one.
The Onion is a false news paper article I do understand. But, it’s not very funny to me some of the news paper articles I read were terrible. I read an article that talked about a monkey named Captain Bananas. He was taken to a lab and experimented on. They said something about him making them laugh so hard that they could not drill a hole in his head. Wow, that’s terrible but I have to admit it is kind of funny in a demented way. I thought the Onion was funny and amusing as long as I’m not in it!:)
The onion is not a real newspaper. A Bible study group is about to take Bible Test. This is pretty dumb because they believe memorizing the Bible will get them into any church.
