Sites like The Onion/ DailyMash / QuestionableNews.com / Insert other here - do you enjoy these types of stories? Well written and constructed Satire has always been something I've really appreciated.

I'm talking about news articles like this one; Man becomes first to climb Everest in car as he refuses to stop and ask for directions to Alton Towers - Questionable News - Reporting Truths... & Some Untruths for example.

its not really a satire, it has no sarcasm or irony or truth whats so ever. Not to mention its sort of esoteric if you are not from UK. I love Amazon satiric reviews like this one http://www.amazon.com/Avoid-Huge-Ships-John-Trimmer/dp/0870334336/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1362436726&sr=8-1&keywords=avoiding+huge+ships

If you like that kinda BS, you really need to start downloading The Bugle podcast with John Oliver (of the Daily Show fame) and Andy Zaltzman.

I used to like the National Lampoon, real life paper magazine popular in the 70's, 80's and early 90's. A lot of the web stuff just seems evil to me. Way to sarcastic. Here is my favorite cover from that rag.

Devonshire Man Attacked by Own Moustache

Would this even fall under Satire?

Haven't checked out the Onion for a while, but I remember reading great articles.

I remember a particularly funny one about Manny Ramirez (during his Red Sox days) working from home.

'their defense in a vacant left field may substantially improve' - still cracks me up
