The unintelligent “humor” style of the writing reminded me of what Mark Twain wrote in “How to Tell a Story”. Mind you, it is “Shit Americans Say” material in its own right. But referencing it here seems befitting. As one can learn a thing or two from it, especially those who want to piggyback on The Onion’s name. In modern and post-modern context, learning about metairony and post-irony would probably be even more helpful, but maybe that would be too hard.
You two are going a bit two deep responding to a clueless teenager-level attempt at humor that gets published by that site.
