I don't get it.

UberDave		2013-01-15 02:35:33 PM

Popcorn Johnny: I don't get it.

There's more newsworthy stories than who wore what dress at the Golden Globes....unless, of course, one of those dresses is really revealing and/or see-through. Then that trumps all...

This About That		2013-01-15 02:52:27 PM

There is such violence and inhumanity. It makes me feel mean and small to ever have clicked on a "best dressed at the awards" link. Now fark off.

Mugato		2013-01-15 02:55:55 PM

There's not going to be a lot of hits there, I don't think there are enough gay guys on Fark.....oh, it's an Onion article so it must be terribly clever and satirical. Nevermind.

Don't talk about me like I'm not here! *runs out of thread crying*

Poignant political commentary in my Onion?

nmiguy		2013-01-15 03:08:26 PM

Brilliant.

Because it is impossible to simultaneously be interested in fashion and world events at the same time. Our minds are too simple to process more than one thing, so it is our duty to focus only on the most terrible.

styckx		2013-01-15 03:10:48 PM

Gonna have to pass on this Onion article.. It's delving way too much into serious political agenda territory. They're usually good at dancing around this sort of thing and making it all about a cheap laugh. This just sucks.

sedric		2013-01-15 03:13:36 PM

doh! blocked at work. is it worth pursuing at home?

I thought number 2 was really smokin' hot.

Brentmeister General		2013-01-15 03:17:13 PM

Oh, I forgot, this is FARK, where really smart people can come up with better things than this, but instead of doing that, they decide to complain about it. Eat some shiat.

The Onion has been trending that way for quite a while. I think the major problem is that it's honestly hard to separate some of their headlines from the more bizarre things coming out of Washington these days. Other headlines ("2012 Was Once Considered Hottest Year On Record, Man In 2024 Remembers Wistfully" and "Gorilla Sales Skyrocket After Latest Gorilla Attack" come to mind) are such perfect mirrors of what's going on they almost aren't satire anymore, much like the Daily Show has become the best news program out there despite the high fart joke percentage.

Today's "Ten Percent Of U.S. High School Students Graduating Without Basic Object Permanence Skills" story is farking brilliant however.

memphisbo		2013-01-15 03:19:18 PM

I for one think this is an excellent critique of America's hollywood-obsessed culture.

meddleRPI: Because it is impossible to simultaneously be interested in fashion and world events at the same time. Our minds are too simple to process more than one thing, so it is our duty to focus only on the most terrible.

I don't think the point is that people can't focus on the two things at once, I think it's pointing out the absurdity that anyone gives a flying crap about Hollywood, Hollywood awards shows, or the insanely expensive clothes that said hollywood idiots wear to said hollywood shows.

*clap* *clap* clap*

I had a feeling the Onion had some sort of trick up their sleeve, because that was just too standard a headline.

Precision Boobery		2013-01-15 03:20:09 PM

This. Is. farking. Awesome.

I'm guessing you are into more subtle humor like the Three Stooges then?

The point that you are missing is that fashion should only be front-page news in a fashion magazine or website, and never anywhere else, because fashion can never be that important.

love the onion.. have every book they ever made and still peruse them daily.

but i completely agree with you, they can do better then this.

MisterLoki		2013-01-15 03:32:51 PM

I laughed, but then I felt kind of depressed.

OgreMagi		2013-01-15 03:33:52 PM

Bukharin: thought number 2 was really smokin' hot.

It's ok, but number 5 has obvious nip slippage. Besides, I'm a huge fan of side-boob.

newsweek		2013-01-15 03:34:55 PM

Great use of ironic since the Onion has never tackled a serious issue head on either.

/still like the Onion

Petit_Merdeux		2013-01-15 03:35:05 PM

Sex-ee!

The My Little Pony Killer		2013-01-15 03:39:21 PM

There are a lot of Farkers who seem mad at having to fap to images of war.

PanicMan		2013-01-15 03:39:50 PM

Clap.

Clap.

Clap.

Beautiful.

Tyrone Slothrop		2013-01-15 03:45:35 PM

The Onion has just cancelled all shore leave. They've just had an unhappy love affair, so they don't see why anyone else should have a good time.

Ed Finnerty		2013-01-15 03:48:39 PM

Warning: Golden Globes

The point that you are missing is that fashion should only be front-page news in a fashion magazine or website, and never anywhere else, because fashion can never be that important.

It's usually a sidebar link, or rotating header. I agree that that's probably too much, and that many people care too much about what celebrities do and wear than current events, but let's stop pretending like it's not a part of our culture anymore.

It exists, it's popular art, and it has some widespread cultural relevance. Realize that, move on, and if you care enough, figure out a way to leverage it to bring attention to other events.

Tyrone Slothrop: The Onion has just cancelled all shore leave. They've just had an unhappy love affair, so they don't see why anyone else should have a good time.

That's about it. I hate fashion shows and the Today Show babbling over what some D-list celebrity said last night as much as the next guy. But this is just cheap "Please think of the children!" pandering to people already pre-disposed to hate red carpets and lights.

Make it about Pitchfork jabbering about Bon Iver or the AV Club comparing Community to the third act of Hamlet, and we'll have humor with a hint of edge.

LaExpat		2013-01-15 04:10:35 PM

Perfectly brilliant.

Way to miss the point. I'd ask if you are new here but we all know you aren't.

Glockenspiel Hero: "Gorilla Sales Skyrocket After Latest Gorilla Attack" come to mind

That one approached "Modest Proposal" level satire in my book.

In all fairness it's making the statement that too many people pay attention to the former and not the latter.

Brick-House		2013-01-15 04:21:45 PM

I don't even know how this made the list. The red head piece totally clashes with and defeats the purpose of the overall Camo theme. The judges must have had a gun to their head to include this.

I dunno... Claire Danes was on fire, but that dress made her look kind of rectangular.

Way to miss the point, area man. That Onion article made a sledgehammer to the cranium look understated by comparison. Maybe you'll like this one!

Knock knock!
Who's there?
Golden Globes!
Golden globes who?
Golden globes ignore the immense physical and emotional pain and death in Darfur!

HA!

angry_scientist		2013-01-15 04:28:38 PM

Dumb, did not meet eye candy expectations

AdolfOliverPanties		2013-01-15 04:30:28 PM

Yeah, I get it. And yes, fashion is stupid and unimportant.

But if we spend our time actually focused on all the mayhem, violence, death and evil in the world we'd all be farking insane.

I don't suppose anyone at the Onion watches any football games, or tv shows, or reads a book, or exercises...all of which are not as important in the big picture as the horrific things happening around the world.

Swing and a miss for this Onion this time. They usually don't hit you over the head when trying to make a point. I expect more cleverness and bite from them. Their reaction to Sandy Hook was letter perfect, for example.

halfof33		2013-01-15 04:36:01 PM

Here's a howler!

Policeman: Knock, knock.
Woman: Who's there?
Policeman: The police. I'm afraid there's been an accident. Your husband has been killed in Syria. There was nothing we could do because the United Nations has refused to heed the anguished cries for help from that deeply troubled region.

lolz.

electronsexparty		2013-01-15 04:42:00 PM

At first I was like "THOSE AREN'T DRESSES!?" Then I was like "Oooh."

[o.onionstatic.com image 850x477]

The Russian-made weapon juxtaposed against the Korean-made truck is the point of the (you should pardon the pun) shot; the red hounds tooth schmatta is merely window dressing. It's Vera Wang - just go with it.

The World

The slideshow, idealized:

wallpaper.celebritypc.com

On the topic of the slideshow: I get it. There are starving children in the world and wars going on. But if I spent every waking hour concerned about it, I'd be a manic depressive. From time to time, I like to take time out from caring and look at attractive women, and so does most of America. I love The Onion, but occasionally it can be a tad pretentious.

On the positive side, it does take balls to arrive at the Golden Globes in a piece of shiat Daewoo.

i dont get it either.

The Onion has been at the top of it's game in the last few months. Fark and farkers never have.
