Lol!
THIS is the REAL link of the vid. It was obviously a recording and he was not evn caring!!!
lol@teabaggers
Haha, Teabaggers don’t listen to the MSM.
They only get their news from Fox News, Drudge Retort and the Onion.
look, I’m a conservative. I don’t just watch fox news and the drudge retort. I personally find that those who listen to the main stream media bag on those of us conservatives by saying these stereotypical things are simply letting the media do the thinking for them.
I don’t listen to the MSM either, I tend to think of it as the corporate media, more then anything else.
I do listen a lot to Thom Hartmann and Randi Rhodes, a little bit Of Rush and Mark Levin too. I can’t stand Hannity though, his voice is annoying.
I really have no problem with Fox News expect that they call themselves news. They are right wing talk radio on television which is fine, but I just wish they would call themselves that.
Dude f**kin’ Rush is awesome! I listen to Hemispheres at least once a week. Geddy Lee is my favorite bass player without a doubt, although I think they are starting to go a little mainstream. And Randy Rhodes SHREDS. GOING OF THE RAILLLLS ON A CRAZY TRAIN DADA DADA DADA DADA DADA DADA DADA DADA DADA R.I.P!!
Seriously though, Rush/Rhodes/Hartmann = Clearly Mainstream media. Just because its on the radio, and not on FOX, doesn’t mean its underground
Oh, GTFOI. (Get the f**k over it.) You seek out news from a wide variety of sources and carefully consider your opinions? (And know the Onion is fake?) Great, then we’re NOT TALKING ABOUT YOU.
Haha, I like that she used both the abbreviation and the definition.
Fox is the biggest news outlet in the US, chief. If they’re aren’t the MSM, no one is.
American Idol is the biggest show on television… Avatar is the biggest movie of all time…
Biggest =/= best.
how dare you! avatar is a nice lady!
No one should group Avatar with Fox News.
Fail….
and the less said about music the better
ever heard of CNN … i think they might just be a bit bigger than FOX
dasdlajrfalrfjawlrfjalrja
That is what your conservative gibberish sounds to me, hey teabagger how bout the halo type of teabagging damn pony.
Just for everyone to chew on, did anyone actually check the website?
I did, and it was not exactly a news source fail, and I don’t know why someone posted it on failblog. Just look for yourselves.
http://www.theonion.com/video/obama-caught-lipsyncing-speech,16889/
Wow…
…you know The Onion is satire, right? So, yes, news source fail. Unless what you’ve said has just gone totally over my head
I’m not sure what you mean by this. I see two possibilities- you know that The Onion is fake but see that some people who just watch the first 30 seconds and aren’t that bright might think it’s real, or you also think it’s real (which would explain the “wow” at the end of your comment). The second one would also explain why you “don’t know why someone posted it on failblog.”
I would hope they’d be smart enough to realize that The Onion is a SATIRICAL “news organization” and not an actual news service…
Like Christina in the post, I think most people don’t realize that. Also, who’s stupid enough to believe that a person can lipsynch a speech? Oh, well, maybe a lot of people.
there are too many people out there like this…darwin where are you when we need you!
I concur.
Apparently people like this are exempt from natural selection when they’re creationists.
Speaking of natural selection, Darwin Selected to marry his 1st cousin and thought it was Natural. Maybe that’s where he got it from.
Your comment made me rage
Wow. You mean a member of a relatively upper-crust family elected to marry his cousin in a time in which such marriages were completely socially acceptable and, in fact, very frequent among the higher classes, in a time when genetics was poorly understood, and later realized the possible problems of such marriages well after the fact and fretted over whether the poor health of his children resulted from such a marriage? What a shock.
(Source here: http://www.strangescience.net/darwin.htm )
Answer win.
unfortunately natural selection is all but gone due to the creation of society where we protect the weak and weak minded….sucks man
Well, since the chance of you being this angry while getting laid regularly is remote, I’d contend not entirely.
Oh wow, a sex joke. Sick, man.
I agree. People should be mandatorily deemed fit to reproduce before being given their gonads back.
they generally don’t reproduce for good reasons anyway
there’s no unselfish reason to choose to make a child when there are already kids in the world who need families, especially in an overpopulated world that we’re destroying at an accelerated rate
I’m afraid the best genetic stock realise this and refrain from giving in to the primitive urge to breed
Idiocracy. Watch it. It’s like a glimpse into the future.
Scary. And very NEAR future.
so true.
Would love you and your sister to not sleep together
UUhhm.. When did we get from Obama to sleeping with your sister?
You must not watch Fox News. This sort of thing happens all the time. Glenn Beck always wins this game.
and the children of Adam and Eve? Who were they supposed to marry? Their sisters? glass houses and all…
does someone not understand the bible is fictitious stories to teach people a lesson (although it is a bad way to learn things like if you don’t know what causes something it must be a higher power)
like half the population of the world?
answer win.
Well, Eve was part of Adam. So Adam had sex with himself.
Therefore the human race was born out of masturbation.
HAHAHA, that’s the best interp of that story i’ve ever heard in my life
win. <– period
Umm as much as think that is true, you’re wrong. Animals tend to not breed with close relatives in the wild. That is why (in cases such as the lion) the male at breeding age leave his pride to attempt to control his own. Doing this (even though I am anti-darwin- his stuff is 99% biased crap) promotes strength, because inbreeding in the animal kingdom has the same effect of inbreeding in the human species. Therefore, wild animals do not inbreed in order to avoid killing themselves off. As for the fail, both dems and reps are idiots for the most part (most of these comments prove it) and it does not surprise me is the least bit that someone felt smart for quoting the all perfect news source, the onion.
wow. anti-Darwin huh? while using Darwin’s teachings to express a point… that takes balls.
but watch out when comparing “breeding” habbits between lions and humans… I don’t usually buy dinner and a movie to “breed” with a chick on a friday night as a human.
Like Jerry Lee Lewis said, “People who criticize me for marrying my 14-year old cousin have never married *their* 14-year old cousins.”
Actually, he was concerned that his children would be dis-formed because he knew that it wasn’t natural to be having children with someone so closely related.
Unfortunately and ironically Darwinism doesn’t apply when universal healthcare is applied.
There is a difference between natural selection and social darwinism….
Note that Darwin did not come up with Social Darwinism.
The problem with relying on Darwinism is that it only works if the idiots die BEFORE they reproduce…..
didn’t he recant some of his views and become a christian?
Obvious troll is obvious. But for the people who might not know better…
According to all the sources we have on him, Darwin did no such thing. Even if he did, so what? It wouldn’t have mattered if he publicly denounced his own theory. The fact is there is 150 years of evidence in support of the theory from every field in biology. There is enough evidence for evolution in genetics _alone_ to confirm the theory of evolution by natural selection, ignoring embryology, morphology, paleontology, etc.
lol Christina..
I wonder how she felt after she was told The Onion is comedy.
Like a BOSS.
Lol. Like a Boss. I love that video.
They will never get it.
Someone *did* tell her, right?
Right?
No, it’s better (not to mention more entertaining) to let people bask in their ignorance and stupidity.
Yes because Bush was such a great president
My Spidey Senses are detecting sarcasm….
President Bush was a douchebag.
i bet he’d say the same about you
and hed probably be right, but bush is still a douchbag
It’s the onion !!
nice one ! lol
nope… don’t get it
You need to go to the Onion then. It’s not a legit news source, it’s a comedy website with made up news.
oh… is it american? .. cos if it is that’ll explain why i didn’t get it
It is mostly American, but the articles are well made enough to be entertaining to anyone.
regardless if it’s American, the web is world-wide nowadays.
i meant that i don’t really look at american comedy site’s… (well apart from this one).. mainly ‘cos U.S humour is usally pathetic
I guess it’s on par with your spelling then.
his speling’s fine, it’s his grammar that fails…
*I x2, American, sites (no apostrophe needed), “well” should have a comma after it (but I suppose that’s forgivable due to normal laziness)
/grammar nazism
bugger I meant spelling lol, pressed it once instead of twice
self-induced grammar nazi fail lol… or proofreading fail, whichever you prefer…
his spellings usally fine
I’m going to guess your spelling is usually not fine.
Fail.
You’re really lame.
because spelling is SO important on a random comment string.
Non-American troll is non-American
Non-American troll is a chav. He/she probably thinks Benny Hill is the height of comedy.
Non-American troll is troll.
Non-American troll speaks the truth.
truthishly, there’s no point in arguing the point since different cultures find different things amusing
Non-American troll is probably American troll trying to cover his American-ess. Comedy is troll is failing.
Regardless, Non-American troll could have easily inferred that the Onion was a fake, comedy news source simply by reading the heading “News Source Fail”.
Non-American troll speaks the truthiness.
you mean sites like failbook? lol
Yeah, I have to admit, our *humor* is pretty intelligent. You may have to read through it a few times to actually understand it.
dude, men dressing up as women is totally intelligent and funny
You do realize that the English spelling of “humor” is “humour”, right? Only in America (and our territories/districts) does anyone use “humor”.
Learn to English before you talk there smart ass.
Learn to English? Way to go, Tommy Toughnuts.
“Tommy Toughnuts”. That made me laugh for a good five minutes. Marry me?
YES!!! hahahaha
Lol. “Learn to English,” sir.
“our” ending has been standard since the Norman Conquest.
Which was roughly 1000 years ago, some 750 plus years before the U.S. was colonized.
Learn some facts before you “share knowledge”
You’re both wrong.
The word really SHOULD be spelled: Hewmer.
Actually, it was originally “eur” because it was borrowed from the French (said conquest). But to make it their own anglophones decided to spell it differently. AND no, it wasn’t standardized since that time because people mostly spelled things phonetically, which varied with each regional accent. So it could be spelled any number of ways, including humor, humour AND hewmer (Thank you ThereIsNoOurInHumor).
Go ahead and call me wrong. I’m not.
I have to admit, I busted out laughing at this. I hope Wolf is being ironic.
If you’re being serious.. do you realize how poorly it speaks to British humor that THIS is the site you choose?
Unless there’s some note on Wolf’s country of origin that I’ve not spotted, there’s no reason for you to assume he/she’s British. There are a couple of other countries in the world, and many different tastes in humour.
His spelling and grammar are British. I would be very surprised if he were from somewhere other than Britain.
Thanks for the diversity lesson, I guess? Amusingly, now I’m not sure why you’re under the impression that what I said in ANY way indicates that I think there are only two countries in the world.
I’m from Sweden and we have always been taught the British spelling and grammar. I would suspect that this is the case throughout Europe and most countries in the British commonwealth.
My first thought on Wolf was that English is not his native language.
Same here, its always been this way. So he could be a member on any one of the commonwealths. Also he could be from anywhere in the world, he might have just happened to learn English at an English institution.
Iron Hippo said it far better than I could have done. I spend a lot of time in the Netherlands, and most people I work with there have an extremely good command of British grammar and spelling.
I was merely pointing out that Britain is not the only country where people speak and write the British form of English, therefore there’s absolutely no reason to assume that his idea of humour is from this country (although most non-native speakers these days use the language more competently than Brits, so he may very well be from Britain after all).
Great?
This is consequential how, where, and/or why?
It’s mostly the ‘cos’ instead of ‘because.’ As someone who spent quite some time chatting with people from all over the world as a teenager, I’m pretty good at placing people based on their grammar, diction, etc.
Contractions like that are common these days in countries that speak British English.
You consider yourself to be pretty good at placing people, but you don’t take into account the way modern communication has affected the way people write. Fewer negative sweeping nationality statements, please.
Honestly, you’re a dumb biatch. People like you are the reason other people are culturally intolerant.
HE is the one who started with the ‘American comedy sucks’ deal, I responded to it. I said nothing specific about ANY nationality. Learn to read, and then learn to follow a conversation.
How about you go practice safe sex, and fck yourself..?
Australians spell like the poms.
how u know he only visit this site ?
Because he flipping POSTED:
“i meant that i don’t really look at american comedy site’s… (well apart from this one).. mainly ‘cos U.S humour is usally pathetic”
We get it wolf… you hate americans stupid taste in comedy, because the comedy from wherever you’re from is far more superior for some reason. And if you’re from the UK… men dressing up like women all the time isn’t really that funny.
You can stop dropping subtle hints that you’re better than us now.
ok, lets all CALM DOWN shall we? Wolf is British (I’m assuming this as I haven’t met anyone outside UK/USA/AUS who uses this abbreviation). The reasons most Brits think american comedies are unfunny is because we are exposed to films like “Meet the Spartans” and such ilk on the big screen and “Friends” on the small screen, so we tend to forget about Bill Hicks, Richard Prior etc. and get very angry at you. However, for me i think the main problem is that you took a wonderful British sitcom (The Office) and destroyed it. I very much doubt Wolf thinks he is superior to you, he was only expressing his personal oppinion.
And a man in a dress is funny (source: some like it hot)
Original version of “The Office” really not all that funny. (Needs more men in drag, duh)
the original office was funny because it was relatable. people would watch the show and say “wow. that guy acts like my boss who thinks hes funny but is really an idiot who nobody likes”. thats why british office is better, no hyperbolic scenarios. that’s something that american comedy producers and audiences dont understand, they just want big laughs and real thought.
As someone who worked in corporate America.. I have to say that, sadly, what we have done with it is not as contrived as you’re giving it the benefit of being.
ah, see the key is you said relatable, so you honestly think the british version is more relatable for Americans?
that is the reason i like the American version better, as an American I can relate and the pop references make sense
I must disagree with you on America destroying The Office. It is one of the highest rated shows in a long time. More so than even the UK version. Try watching some more episodes of it and you will see it is very good. Another problem could be you just don’t want to admit America took something started by the UK and their style of humor and did it just as well if not better. That could force you to hate it and never actually allow yourself the chance at liking it. Though I suppose they make different references considering the different cultures the comedy is still similar. Also if you want good American humor watch some stuff like Modern Family or maybe even the late Arrested Development. There are also plenty of great American comedy movies as there are also plenty on the other side of the spectrum. You just need to actually look into what your watching before you set it at the average for the products. Even so British humor and American humor are still very different. It just seems Americans are more prone to allow themselves to like British humor than the British are to allow themselves to like American humor.
As an Australian with obviously no patriotism to either America or England, I have to say that I personally love both versions of the Office but the English version probably wins for me.
But i’d also like to point out Seng that top rating show does not equal good. There are plenty of shows out there (think Desperate Housewives) that are complete crap but have massive audiences.
a top rating show does not equal a good show. *
I have to comment on this, although I wasn’t going to. I agree with Seng. And yes, highly rated DOES equal good, because it means many people enjoy and think highly of it. I LOVE The Office, it has a really distinct style of humor, and its easy for everyone to enjoy. The English version has many.. Strange (to avoid some more distasteful words) jokes and events. And personally, I get lost. It’s hard to follow, and just filled with pathetic, desperate attempts for laughter. And the Americans didn’t “steal” the office.. Ricky gervais developed it. Let’s be educated here. And desperate housewives is also very popular because it combines excitement, mystery, romance, and even comedy. Many people like it, (including me), because it’s like everything piled into one, and the characters are easy to relate to. That’s why it has massive audiences, not because everyone in America somehow is just THAT much less intelligent than you, your majesty. I do agree that many popular shows are just not something I’d enjoy, like Lost for example, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t good. Many people love Lost. So, don’t tell others their opinions are less valid than yours because you are somehow above them.
Christopher Paolini, Stephenie Meyer, Justin Bieber, Miley Cyrus all have high ratings. Your argument is highly flawed.
Thank you for pointing that out. Do not be steered wrong, world; High ratings does not equate to good.
I concur- add Madonna, Jonas Bros, most “reality” shows, et al.
Two and a Half Men is consistently a top-rated show. ‘Nuff said.
wow. you’re an advertising executive’s dream. you are why they have commercials. but you’re right. if something is popular for a large group of people…it must be automatically good! like ciggarettes and meth and crack and dane cook. you keep challenging the direction entertainment is headed partner! hopefully we have channels filled with the same show 24/7 someday.
The fact that it had higher ratings than the British version does not mean a thing, look at the population sizes of each place.
My personal opinion I think British comedy is better, having a very dry and sarcastic sense of humour I feel there is more to offer in this department in British comedy, although I have found a good number of US shows which cater to my needs! and I watch a lot of US programmes.
One problem I have with most US shows is the canned laughter, (yes I know British shows use it as well) I feel they take it to new heights and over use it at times. one example would be ‘Sledge Hammer’ great satirical comedy from the 80′s but was then re-released with a laughter track over it, completely ruined it. I also think it is an insult to the audience’s integrity, as if it saying you are too stupid to know when to laugh so we will tell you what is funny.
Oh yes. The laugh tracks are one of my least favorite things about any show. That’s why I love The Office and a lot of newer sitcoms, like Modern Family (if anyone hasn’t seen this, I highly reccomend it). I think it’s less of a “tell you when to laugh”, as a “see! It really is funny!!” sort of thing.
Canned laughs, yes. Red Dwarf, however, ran their films before an audience and recorded those laughs. So that’s okay in my opinion.
Let’s not forget that Ricky Gervais (brit) is one of the minds behind The Office US.
And, personally, The Office UK is not really that funny. Just annoying.
AND, brits ranting on hyperbolic scenarios? Really??
Humor is culturally relevant. Obviously, you are more likely to “get” American humor if you’re American. A lot of Americans find British humor pathetic because they don’t have the perspective on it that makes it funny.
The Onion consists of intelligent humor that seems to merge quite well across most prominent Western cultures. But, again, intelligent is the operative word, here.
I think the same thing of British humor. I guess you like what you are used to.
This whole thread: “My humour is better than yours!”
Totally agree! I love how a post about a girl thinking the Onion was a real news website turned into a “Our humour is better than your humour” all-out pissing contest! And the bit in the in the middle of it about the differences between British and American english was extremely inciteful! Thank you!
Point 1: Everyone makes typo’s. Let’s not pretend that we are all perfect typists. And not all of us are anal enough to run spell checker for every post we make.
Point 2: American and British humour are different. Congratulations on noticing this! Have a cookie.
Point 3: Failbook =/= Place for serious topigraphical discussions on the differences between American and British Cultures.
Um. Hey? You would fit excellently with our teabagging community over here because when they are too tarded to ‘get’ something, they blame someone else instead – in their case, the liberal media. And like you, they speak rather impolitely, are incoherent and are inconsiderate regarding the feelings of others. You should really stay away from the WWW internet, though. I’m being sincere. There are many yanks all over the place on the WWW. That must really suck for you, eh?
P.S. See a shrink about the short-man-syndrome. Yes?
@The Disemboweler
Thank you, you made my day!
Ditto! Best. Post. Ever.
@The Disembowler
Times three! Absolutely made my afternoon of stupid blog comment reading completely worthwhile. Thank you… so very much
ha ha ha! love it!
sometimes they accidentally dabble in prophecy, as when they published an article after GWB’s 2001 inauguration wherein they attributed this fictional quote to the then-new President “Our long national nightmare of peace and prosperity is over”…
theonion is a parady news show. The stories they do arn’t real. The cover things like the “VH1 slut spill” and such.
Okay. I refuse to believe this one is for real.
Kyle! i has found you!
WIN
Are you sure it’s Kyle? Is he the right height?
This is the best EVER. This has totally made my day, maybe even my week. LOLOLOLOLOL. Christina, you are why I’m a democrat.
Amen!!!lol
And you two are why I don’t belong to either party.
Word, Jibble.
There is always a party for the stupid..
“A” party? You’re really going to go singular on this one?
God, I was thinking the same thing.
We should do away with parties on ballots. Everyone should run as an independent on the issues. Let the parties fund whichever candidate they favor anonymously. Partisan politics needs to go away.
Really? You think that is possible? You do realize that everything in politics is about money? Everything.
The worst part is that now that we’ve gotten this deep into this hole, there’s no way out, no solution. Absolutely none, short of destroying the planet, but somehow, I think that might not help.
Yep, and in this day and age that responsibility has been delegated to the Republican Party.
Haha
TheOnion is awesome, but not exactly a good news source
But The Onion *is* America’s finest News Source!
that in itself is a sad comment!
Better and more truthful than Fox sorry to say, and there isn’t a true article on it.
i have to admit i really agree with Christiana The Onion is a wonderful news source that tells it like it is no games at all, way more reliable than fox news
Such a huuuuuge fail by Christina…
It’s a fail because the link is onion news, and onion news is fake
Nothing gets past you, champ.
My exact thoughts. It gets annoying when people not only point out the obvious, but they point it out after 20 already have, but they say it like they are the only one who noticed it.
I love when people tell me their likes and dislikes about the unimportant things they see…
but the best is, you will never know the irony of you complaining that “pointing out the obvious is annoying…” as a REPLY to “nothing gets past you, champ”.
and the icing on this cake of you being a douche is, and get this, you expressed that you feel people almost sound as if their the “first ones to notice” as a RESPONSE to another comment already bashing your subject.
so, for that, you are the annoying one. you foolish, foolish person.
Win.
People want to believe anything.
The onion is a website that makes stuff up
Another captain obvious
yea huh? another one? ANOTHER ONE? what are we gonna do??? i’m so slightly annoyed!!! NOOOOOOOooooooooooooooooo, it’s the end of the world!
you’re prob makin fun of a little kid douchebag. atleast they get it. think about all the people that don’t. man, you are so goddamn annoying, im actually cracking up laughing at how angry i am with you right now. oh man…goodtimes.
This must be a joke! lol
I must try this sometime. XD
HAHAHAHAH epic
This is actually funny and depressing at the same time. How can such stupid people function. Surely they’re braindead enough that they can’t even breathe because their brains are trying too hard to justify their existence?
Aren’t there people who think kiddies worship the Devil because of Harry Potter? All because The Onion ran a story about it?
Yep! http://www.snopes.com/humor/iftrue/potter.asp
Jesus Christ. I was introduced to the Flat Earth Society this weekend, and now I’ve come across not just this failbook entry, but a snopes article showing how much religious nuts believed an Onion article.
That’s it. I officially have no hope left for society. *headdesk*
On the plus side, the Flat Earth Society is very clearly satire.
No, I’m pretty sure there are people who believe that anyways.
The onion sometimes takes real things and puts a twist on them. Which is why its so hilarious!
You are a f**king idiot. Some one find me this person so I can dog on them so freaking hard. IDIOT…
The Onion did an article on Obama resigning from the Presidency to fulfill his lifelong dream of opening a restaurant in my hometown. A guy from the local paper did a small article and my Facebook is set up to receive articles from this paper. Well, he posted it and all it said was Obama to open new restaurant here in town. Two idiots didn’t read the article, just the heading. One posted how awesome it was and that he must have been looking at our town for a long time. The second went on a rant about how he needs to open a factory here instead of wasting time with a restaurant. I would have failbooked it but I don’t know how cuz I’m dumb. lol
well, you’re not as dumb as the person who believed the Onion article was real, at least… LOL!
I’m gonna have to ask you to step away from the computer
Wow, someone else from this town reads both Cracked and The Onion…? You must be from out of town.
Personal fail, as I forgot which website I was commenting on. Fantastic.
that is such a fail.
Love the onion! Lol. Whoever posted this should have pointed that out to her – I want to see her reaction….
I love posting articles from The Onion on Facebook and then watching the comments roll in. Someone thought the article I posted about the Supreme Court writing an obscenity filled opinion might be real, even though the picture was Justice Ginsburg flipping double birds.
that article was possibly my favorite news article in any publication throughout the history of the world.
is she just now figuring this out?? omg the white house has been covering their asses since the beginning of time
i hope you realize why this is a fail…
Roflcopter.
oh god lol!
You’re not gonna believe this, but if you search “Obama caught lipsyncing” on facebook, loads of rabid right wing americans believe this. Haha, Americans…
What’s your point? If you search for “Bush 9/11″ you’ll find a whole bunch of rabid left wing Americans who believe that he did it? There are idiots on both sides.
You mean that he didn’t?
There is a HUGE difference.
1/4 of the American population is retarded.
It only makes me wonder what else this woman has discovered (and believed) from The Onion. I can imagine it now;
“What do you mean, you’ve never heard of the Morning After Burrito? I read about them on The Onion!”
Did you here on the ORN that the US’ mayo reserves are running out?
News source fail but obama integrity fact.She’s right about the main stream media too.
Ha!
Faux news fan?
I would have guessed Glenn Beck but he was able to spell “integrity” so I’m leaning more toward a Bill O’Reilly lover.
Cite your source.
Oh, you.
No, she’s pretty much just an idiot.
You two should get married and drink Kool-Aid together at your wedding (before you reproduce, please).
I posted the “Apple Introduces Revolutionary New Laptop With No Keyboard” story by the onion, and my one friend was convinced that it was legit. She couldn’t understand why anyone would want that.
#1: It is a legit product
#2: I don’t even get why anyone would buy an Ipad aswell. It’s just an oversized, over priced Iphone without the ability to call people.
What’s the fail here? I read the Onion all the time. Great source. Failbook failed.
The onion isn’t real, it’s a satirical e-zine. Not suppose to be taken seriously it should only be used as entertainment, not for quoting and to be taken seriously.
Rather, I think you all are obamaniacs and are so far up his *ss that you don’t want to recognize the truth, so you attack the one media source brave enough to report the story. Why don’t you go back to watching your CNNs and NBCs.
Stop trying to copy Zipper. It’s not amusing.
He’s a fail troll, after I pissed him off for being smarter than he is about twenty posts back.
Canadian? Yeah, you’re definitely a obama lover.
Wow, Xenon, you’re a right dumbass. The Onion is a satirical. SATIRICAL. Meaning, it pokes fun at ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING. And makes s**t up. It’s like a tabloid, but ten times funnier.
Seriously. Quit being a damn troll and GTFO the internet.
I can’t believe you liberals are so shameless that you would go so far as to call news sources “fake” and “satirical” just because you don’t agree with it. Jack asses.
Fail troll is failing harder than ever.
fake xenon, the way you piss people off amuses me much. I commend you on your skills. and I offer friendship… sorry real xenon. I know we should all calm down with the dry humor. People get offended. plus, riots could start. I’m sure you’re not egging him on either…
infact, your claim to recognizing satire also amuses me. you get so angry about people fake supporting a fake news source all over this page. the irony…it’s too much. loosen up, or else people will make fun of you. but wait…thats already one of the main points of the Onion that you claim to understand so well…irony overload!
I also am Canadian- what- do you want Bush back? ABB, anybody but Bush (or Palin, btw)
You are joking right?
no you fail
Fail Troll is fail.
The fail is the person that believed the Onion story was true – and posted a rant based on it. With a link to the satirical story.
People…you are all fail. The Onion is legitimate.
aparently not… scroll up and look at steph’s comment for proof
OR you could, you know, look at the Onion.
since that sarcasm detector hasn’t been released yet, i’m hoping this was sarcasm
Ugh, Seriously??? Despite the redundancy of posting this here, I’m forced to do so in light of the epic and utter failure to acknowledge reality. Quote taken from http://www.theonion.com/faq/#faq-editorial

I don’t need your made-up liberal BS.
So much for reading The Onion. Try to be consistent in your trolling?
You are fail!
seriously?
Cool story, troll.
Everyone else, stop failing to recognize this trollery.
You’re right. I DO read The Onion. However, I have the brain capacity to realise “satire” when I see it. Oh, and by the way, you forgot your pathetic jibe at my Asperger’s.
HAY EVERY1 I HAVE ASS BURGERS
*applauds* There you go. Has your mission in life been fulfilled now?
Oh, and chicken wings. Oh, I’m hungry now. *goes to cook*
There’s only so many ways you can get that through the mods AND the spam filter. Come on, give it your best shot. Let’s see how imaginative my least clever pet is.
lol have you gone insane?
That comment would be more effective if I could see who was being talked to. *deletes temp cache, see if that fixes the page*
talkin to you. about your seemingly random posts
Meh, the page is semi-fixed now.
And I suppose I do look insane now. The mods appear to have deleted the other “Xenon” who is a pathetic troll. Odd. Usually when they remove a person’s post, they remove all the other posts related to it.
failure
Hey, you’re the one that was stupid enough to write posts that needed modding.
gay
Aww, is that your latest round of sparkling wit?
you’re getting schooled son
This so reminds me of the night that Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows came out. I was a student at a conservative Christian university and as we were walking home through the student center with our copies of the last book, we saw propaganda posters about how Harry Potter should be eschewed because it promoted Satan-worship and witchcraft. All of their sources…were the Onion.
Ahahahahhahahahahahhaha Seriously???? That’s Hilariously Awesome
People like this girl scare me.
Some comments on this post also scare me.
I hope we get updates. I’d love to see reactions from this.
It wasn’t posted on her wall, so you likely won’t see any updates. I googled it, and found it here: http://www.facebook.com/posted.php?id=6815841748&share_id=126504817365111&comments=1&_fb_noscript=1
When you consider that this person is using that same brain´s faculties of reasoning at the voting polls, it is quite scary…
meh, I can guarantee this person made up her mind a long time ago that she didn’t like Obama, regardless of this Onion article
Oww s**t, I’ve seen that video! They say he’s planning on joining the Black Eyed Peas at the end! WTF, this girl can’t be that stupid
did not now the onion was a comedy news site, thanks guys
Typical conservtard, will belive anything they see printed and never check the source.
Wow, “conservtard”. Is that the best you can do? Come back when you’re at least 5 years old.
Would you prefer:
fanatics
puritanic
war-mongers
gun-fondlers
racist
conservative?
They work better and are pretty accurate at the same time!
Gun fondler.. Hahhahahahhah. Funniest picture ever.
You forgot “teabaggers”.
LOL. Oh funny. I’ve actually had tons of people send me Onion articles in outrage. How can people not catch on that it’s fake? I had a friend believe the article about the Pope getting “pedophilia down to acceptable levels”, where the Pope says each priest only gets allotted so many underage boys per year. lmao.
Wot’s WORSE… I had a neo-fascist repuglican former coworker of mine pass this along in an email. (not the Failbook, but the actual cut/pasted text, claiming “I saw this on Facebook! I can’t BELIEVE this guy can get away with this sh**!”
The Onion, Fox News, what’s the difference?
One caters to conservtards, the other is mistaken as a legitimate news source by conservtards.
Your latter statement applies to both.
touche.
WIN
^ Concurring.
or perhaps, SHE is trolling US
I wish she was on my friend list xD I know exactly what I would respond to her level of fail.
dude xenon, what are you talking about
Oh, dear, the page broke again. :/ Which Xenon were you talking to? Me or the troll? And what was the post?
Thats an pretty epic fail. Quite awesome.
…the Onion is a comady website?!?! ohhh…that expains alot… 0_0
I loled
People like her make me ashamed to be Republican. /headdesk
“Christina” is a DISGRACE to the republican party. I feel the need to see a therapist.
wow…. i hope she was drunk or stoned when she posted that. so sad, it’s tragic.
Regardless of this website being a joke (i do love it though) obama is a socialist freak who has no idea what he got himself into. continue to support him and see how well it pays off for the entire country in the end. By the way for you douches out there that will go here IM NOT RACIST.
I don’t think the word socialist means what you think it means.
why would you unnecessarily bring up racism? guilty conscience? oh well, go back to believing there’s no such thing as global warming and watching glen beck.
Socialism is the only thing that will save America. I’m sorry, but you’ll see.
Learn the definition of socialist before you speak. Obama is a capitalist by definition, oh, never mind, you won’t get it.
What makes me saddest is that this screenshot was taken so quick that none of her friends could call her on her stupidity. THis would make me go postal on her and then unfriend her.
I don’t see what’s so funny here. At least this girl is willing to call out Obama on his deceit, unlike you socialist, minority loving left wingers. Just keep supporting him and his agenda regardless of what happens. There is no such thing as global warming and Glen Beck is one of the few thinking people still alive today. I’d like to shake this girls hand.
wow…
i think the award for biggest Fail goes to this comment.
Obvious troll… still somehow succeeds.
I think the award for biggest miss in sarcasm goes to this comment
Wow, I can’t believe you didn’t see what I was doing there. It’s kinda sad really…
if you’re gunna troll, make it believable, but then again, when it comes to politics its the people that don’t care that are the only ones smart enough to not get offended by this
This is more sad than it is funny. What a shame.
It’s people like this that make us republicans look retarded
Aren’t today’s conservative repubs retarded by nature?
Typical eh? I’m one of those right wing crazies, but… I see that all the time, folks forwarding on e-mails about new laws up for a vote, with a snopes hyperlink and another hyperlink supposedly to the law on a .gov website…but no one bothers to follow the links to actually SEE if it’s real. Oh look, it’s a link, it must be true! Gosh.
haha what an idiot
The Onion strikes again ;D
Oh, PLEASE tell me someone forwarded this link to Christina!
I mean, it’s one thing to fail like she did. It’s another to see your fail made into a spectacle on the Cheezburger network!
WHAT THE F_CK I mean WHAT THE F_CK how stupid do you have to be I mean are you missing a fuse did you even watch it to the end I mean what the hell . Maybe we do need to take another look at our education system No you know what no I just showed my 10 year old sister this even she caught on you know what go back to grade school finish the 2nd grade and once you get to high school because college is out of the question see if they got classes on COMMON F_CKING SENSE
The Onion is probably the only legitimate news source left in America.
It’s the only news source that doesn’t spew biased bullsh@t and fear-mongering political dribble, not to mention funny to read.
Maybe she was being sarcastic XD.
Nope. She was being stupid. Kinda like you.
Apparently there are also people who haven’t figured out that Stephen Colbert is satire as well. This is one of those moments where I rub my hand over my mouth, look the other way, and attempt to hold back obnoxious laughter.
wow. jusssss- wow. you can tell she doesn’t use the internet that often.
I’d be wiilling to bet that when she was growing up her family had a subscription to the Weekly World News instead of an actual NEWSpaper. She probably just needed an outlet to vent through because she was upset that Bat Boy doesn’t answer her letters anymore.
I blame the internet for preventing natural selection from it’s due course. She’s inside proving her stupidity online instead of going outside and doing so. Inside, there’s less of a chance of falling down a well because she was trying to rescue her own reflection.
That’s it. You don’t get to breed. The video was obviously satirical, and it was kind of funny.
smh:/
The video is hilarious:
If she actually watched the whole thing, and believed it was real…I have no words.
Oh my God, even I know what “the onion” is, and I’m not even American. Or living in America. Or anywhere nearly connected to it.
Whoah.
Somebody thought that video was real?
I’m glad people like this exist, makes me look a lot more clever than i actually am.
Wow. Just read all these comments. That’s a large part of my life I’ll never get back… *sigh*…
I did the same thing. *facepalm*
Ditto. I think I have been shedding brain cells along the way.
um…..the true fail here is the person who submitted an Onion article.
ITS MEANT AS A JOKE as is ALL Onion articles.
so, to the person who saw this and began to flop like a dying chicken because of the outrage because they looooove Obama: you. fail.
Comprehension fail.
For real? The Thaddeus Buggs and Black Eyed Peas didn’t give it away? I’m really worried…
The comment pages on this site have just turned into everyone correcting everyone else’s grammar/spelling. We get it. You’ve read “Elements of Style” by Strunk & White. We’re so impressed by your mastery over the English language.
It’s an effing Internet forum, not a master’s thesis. So, can we just go back to talking smack about the dumb f**k’s whose Facebook posts wind up on this site? Can we stop trying to cyber-impress/insult everyone? If you’re smart, cool, just do you. Stop rubbing it in everyone’s face…
KTHXBAI!
I’m pretty sure a large portion of the population reads more Cheezburger blogs than they do actual books, so where else are they going to learn proper spelling?
Nothing’s stopping them from writing grammatically correct smack about Failbook posts. I’d rather see that than a page of idiots “doing themselves” in all flavors of there/their/they’re/your/you’re/yore.
although if you think about the amount of time they spend trying to out-grammar each other, rather than attempting to reproduce, it kind of evens out in the end.
wow…. then again I’m not surprised…. the stupidity of some people
hahahahaha
stupid c**t.
HOLY S**T! Don’t any of you people realize that the Onion is a FAKE news organization! That’s why this post was funny. Christina was making herself look like a real idiot. Man, people, get with it…
It would be hilarious if – upon investigation – it turned out that this was a satirical article.
EPIC *facepalm*!!!
LOL what an idiot– everyone knows that the onion is the world’s biggest news parody site- a few weeks ago the headline was “Tom Cruise Requires Visitors To Play World War III with him” or some paraphrase of that
Someone doesnt know what the onion is! He/ She is soooo serious too! XD
baaahahhaha!
NotSureIfSerious.jpg
She probably voted for colbert in the republican primaries, based on his values, not his show
Comment win.
*facepalm*
this thread is crunky mccrazy to the nth, everybody gettin’ buck ++ on each other.
As I understand it, TheOnion.com occasionally publishes less-than-serious pieces. I bet this was one of them. If so, this young lady must feel rather foolish. Perhaps you’ve been had, Christina!
Occasionally? O_o
Haha! The republican party is f-ing dead! What idiots their supporters are! Really? Some dumbass is fed up with Obama based on what she saw in the Onion, the nation’s foremost satirical newspaper? Haha! Obama for the win in 2012! (Oh, and neo conservatism is DEAD!)
wake up and smell the stench….obama has missed memorial day at arlington to go on vacation and now this…he has not even come through on a 10th of his “promises”…if you are going to worship somebody please let it be somebody that is not in control of a nation and someone that can admit when they have done wrong!!!
my good miss, i must be the one to inform you that the people of America did not actually worship Obama merely see him as a re-breather into this crippled country. oh and For Your Health: Shut the F_ck up
Shame that even the people commenting don’t get this…..
The Onion does too good a job sometimes.
Is lip-syncing a speech much different than reading from a prompter or cue cards? Either way, the speaker has to know the words.
How could she didn’t knew that TheOnion is fake news?
Pretty realistic,but fake
Lmao! I absolutely LOVE it when stupid people are so passionate about politics!
Christine = Sarah Palin
EPIC FAIL
how do you people know the girl isn’t just joking herself?

Permission to bash her brains out?
I just read every comment. ):
haha Obama sucks.
Can anyone appreciate the irony that the original Onion story was meant to point out the celebrity status of Obama?
it just shows everyone that obama is an ass…with a huge ego to boot…he does not think that he can do anything wrong or dishonest…yet he constantly does…this is just the latest…that is why I did NOT vote for him….
ok CLEARLY you have never seen the onion before! Go to that website.
Stephanie, Stephanie, Stephanie. Let me just get this straight. You go on to a website called Failbook, read only one part of this post on Obama (the part where Christina is ranting), completely missing all the references to how much of a fail this is, you go to the comments (not reading a single one, mind you), and write this comment. When you press Add Comment, you have basically ignored 99.9% of everything on your computer screen. You have transcended human levels of ignorance. What you have done is such a fail, it is practically an art. Most people have to try to fail so badly. Just tell me how you did it, please?
This is why an IQ test should be required in order to vote.
Lol, *facepalm* Do they really not get that Onion is satire xD?
This is why I don’t like parodies like that. Stupid people don’t understand anything…
Not understanding things is pretty much THE definition of stupidity.
ayup
I simply could not go away your web site prior to suggesting that I extremely loved the standard info a person supply for your guests? Is gonna be back steadily to investigate cross-check new posts
Thanks , I have just been searching for info approximately this subject for ages and yours is the greatest I’ve found out till now. However, what in regards to the bottom line? Are you certain concerning the source?
