The Onion strikes again

Iranian news agency duped by Onion story on Obama poll




I'm not sure if I should post the Nelson Ha-Ha image or a sad smiley because after I think about it, I'd almost rather talk to Imadinnerjacket than Obama.

I'm giving 50/50 odds they blow themselves up with that nuke. Morons.

But that would be a Zionist plot, not simple incompetence.

I'm OK with either one.

I would rather have a beer with Ahmadinejad than Obama.  Does that make me a racist?  (since I'm white, I guess it does by default)

The Onion probably prints more truth than the New York Times- they are like the court jester who is allowed to tell the King anything they want without getting their head chopped off.

There is probably a news agency in the ME that reads The Onion and thinks "who are these wise people?"


FTR- I'd rather spend a day hanging out with Ahmadinnerjohn than obama, heck throw in Putin and it might be the awesomemost day ever
