I like The Onion and detest Glenn Beck, but this wasn't funny. Just no sense of irony.

As one of my best friends lost her son in an accident similar to the one described in that "joke" last year, I found it very hard to watch.

This thread is in VERY poor taste.

Wow. Well done with this thread. You've offended pretty much everyone who's posted so far, and I will add myself to that number.

For once I'm glad that hulu doesn't stream outside of the United States.

I'm not offended. I've just seen better material from The Onion.

It's weird, isn't it, to see them come up short?

I watched this and when I saw the mother sobbing I just hit back and went to the main page skipping the ending. It was just poorly done and unfunny.

Meanwhile, they do do brilliant stuff as we see here:

I keep mentioning this, but my favorite Onion story that never came to be: "Man uses spork as knife" (as mentioned on This American Life).

Thou shalt not speak ill of a venue in which I can listen to Ira Glass, David Rakoff, Sarah Vowell, John Hodgman, Dan Savage, and David Sedaris!

Tangent... here's an inspiring Ira Glass bit for all the aspiring makers of stuff out there.

Nice pick me up for all the artists out there.
