Poll: Is The Onion Going To Far?

After watching this first video, I just shrugged it off as just a joke.  Then I saw the second one and started to get a little offended.  So I have a question for you:

    Yep, its the Onion and it is satire and they are one of the only equal opportunity agitators out there.
  • fuzzbear
    Nope..i think its pretty darn funny. With satire you always run the risk of being offending someone.. and actually if your not offending someone..i think your doing it wrong.
  • Satire never goes too far as long as all groups are satirized. The Onion has a long history of making fun of everybody.
  • BrienBear
    The whole point of the onion is to make fun of stupid people who WOULD say things like this. Its a satire of stupidity. I'm not sure how that can be taken "too far".

    I don't think its going to far LOL. I think you have to take everything with a grain of salt and just try to find the humor in it! People kind of know what to expect with these guys so personally, nothing shocks me :)
