The Onion is truly "America's Finest News Source." For satire loving people like me, it is a godsend. It pokes fun at random aspects of our society and sometimes, it is completely relatable. Other times, I have to double check where the article is from because it sounds completely plausible in the real world. Here are 11 times The Onion was too real.
1. "Report: Gonzaga’s In Washington, Right?"
Too. Damn. Real. Not many people know where Gonzaga is, let alone how to pronounce it!
2. "Nation's Workload To Be Completed During Timeouts Today"
Work never gets done when basketball games are on during March Madness.
3. "Man Basks In Triumphant Glory After Purchases Line Up To Exact Value Of Gift Card"
Best feeling in the world.
4. "Pope Francis Trains For Easter Mass By Dragging Pew Loaded With Rocks Across Snow"
Not sure how this would help, but it's still hilarious.
Jeb Bush singlehandedly ensuring that the Bush Dynasty ends with him.
6. "Bernie Sanders Clearly In Pocket Of High-Rolling Teacher Who Donated $300 To His Campaign"
*gasp*
7. "Aides Gently Remind Hillary Clinton Not To Refer To Opponents As ‘Obstacles To Greatness’"
"Bernie Sanders is a human birkenstock." -Kate McKinnon as Hillary Clinton in "A Hillary Christmas."
8. "More Realistic Meat Substitute Made From Soy Raised In Brutally Cruel Conditions"
We need to fight for better treatment of tofu.
9. "FDA Recommends Adding Little Tabasco To That Bad Boy"
Truth.
10. "Report: Someone Needs To Get Chips And Dip Away From Area Man"
Same.
11. "Girlfriend To Stay Underneath Blanket For Next 5 Months"
Me, during the winter.
Sometimes The Onion describes life too well.
