Not the worst thing I've ever seen - especially coming from the onion

fatimcgee		2009-04-01 04:10:35 PM

See, it's funny cause it's true...

Ready_Cents		2009-04-01 04:10:42 PM

Reasonably funny would be if they published a story that was true, yet kind of hard to believe - on 4/1. Would be kind of a mind fark

OLD NEWS IS SO EXCITING!

Barakku		2009-04-01 04:11:21 PM

Am I the only one that expected an Onion link on April Fools day to lead to a serious investigative report of some kind?

rFarke		2009-04-01 04:12:04 PM

"onions!"

00ghost27		2009-04-01 04:13:09 PM

Thank god it was only a minute, but still, pretty funny

dreadprophet		2009-04-01 04:14:16 PM

Already shown at the Columbia Student Film Festival...in June, 2007.

Robert1966		2009-04-01 04:15:57 PM

Old link, or oldest link?

ihatedumbpeople		2009-04-01 04:18:33 PM

that one was way funnier.

Courtney Cox-Zucker		2009-04-01 04:20:35 PM

Why do all these homosexuals keep sucking my cock?

Nice.

jeffwashingdc		2009-04-01 04:23:19 PM

Ugh enough already. Why is every news website trying to hop on board the april fools bandwagon? Someone needs to tell this Onion Newspaper that we could see through the ploy from the get go. On the other hand they really stretched the gimmick...every single link/video on that whole elaborate page was another joke piece!

Petey4335		2009-04-01 04:25:56 PM

Ahhh the reverse april fools: A satire news service reporting reality.

good show.

That is awesome!
even if it is old.

HaywoodJablonski		2009-04-01 04:35:40 PM

Not the oldest lnk, that honor belongs to some artcle from 1983 posted a few years back

beefboxer		2009-04-01 04:45:03 PM

it's like the video was made by a Fark user...so sad

Massively Multiplayer Addict		2009-04-01 05:09:46 PM

Almost forgot about that satire tag.

my favourite so far, only because that exactly explains my roommate who went out and bought a mac book air

Zotfripper		2009-04-01 05:16:16 PM

I get all my Chinese Torture Socks at GAP.

Rev. Skarekroe		2009-04-01 05:22:54 PM

Somebody needs to bring back Onion World with Rich Hall.

SpaceLord		2009-04-01 05:33:23 PM

Nothing, I repeat, nothing from the ONN is as funny as the Supreme Court death penalty video.

ZOMG.

Young Rory Calhoun		2009-04-01 05:35:46 PM

For some reason I completely didn't think about the child labor aspect of that headline and focused more on the idea of children designing clothes. My idea would have been funnier.

I do have to say that I'm thoroughly confused after watching this. I also LOL'd

Ugh, STFU, Canada. No one asked you.

That's what I was thinking too - I thought it would be kids trying on clothes where one sleeve is two feet longer than the other, or pants with green and orange stripes and so on. Instead, it was some heavy-handed Michael Moore type thing. I had to install an updated flash player for that?

Doppleganger871		2009-04-01 08:43:13 PM

It must be "true", it's on the onion.

Dull Cow Eyes		2009-04-01 08:52:58 PM

I expected more Haitian children.

uh, perhaps you've never heard of sweatshops...

Christian Bale		2009-04-01 09:25:11 PM

The Onion has done much better than I though they would in making the transition to video. I mean really, compare the Onion News Network to Fark TV.

mcgreg19		2009-04-01 10:25:19 PM

This Simpsons did this joke first.

jack21221		2009-04-01 11:13:45 PM

And I thought this was going to be about general accounting principles. Oh well.

Fruvous		2009-04-02 01:52:01 AM

Farking brilliant as always from the big O.

Robert1966: Old link, or oldest link?

Welcome to last year. No seriously, I saw this last year. Sometime early last year. Might've been the year before that. In that case, welcome to the year before last, submitter-person.
