I love the Onion. - InYourHonor, on 01/07/2009, -17/+125oh its the onion....thought this was fox reporting...hmm funny how I get them confused.
- AmyVernon, on 01/07/2009, -2/+73The Onion to this day still had some of the best 9/11 coverage - the outraged letter from God was beyond perfect.
- klingerf, on 01/07/2009, -2/+56"The government report also confirmed that the next 9/11 would more than likely not involve an assault on the World Trade Center's North and South towers as it has in previous attacks."
Genius. - Feenix566, on 01/07/2009, -1/+459/11 has already happened SEVEN TIMES since 9/11!! When will the maddness end? What are our leaders doing in this time of crisis to stop 9/11 from happening again this year!?
- blackcloud333, on 01/07/2009, -3/+37Must be a Dane Cook fan.
- skipdog172, on 01/07/2009, -8/+38WOW HAHAHA IVE NEVER SEEN A COMMENT THAT SUGGESTS AN ONION ARTICLE'S HEADLINE WAS MISINTERPRETED AS BEING REAL! OMG HILARIOUS!!!!!! DUGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
- WibWobble, on 02/02/2009, -1/+29"There's a chance we could all find ourselves living in a post-6/10 world as early as next July. Unless, that is, we're already living in a pre-2/14 world."
Dugg for ^ that and the double underlined "maybe" in the pic. - azbmr, on 01/07/2009, -2/+19Still my favorite from January of 2001:
http://www.theonion.com/content/node/28784 - inactive, on 01/07/2009, -1/+17Pot heads are targeted on 4/20.
You heard it here first. - ElBeh, on 01/07/2009, -2/+16It's always funny.
- Leviathan433, on 01/07/2009, -1/+14Only always.
- IamNOTmrT, on 01/07/2009, -1/+14frequently
- FishHammer, on 01/07/2009, -1/+13holy ***** it was like a prophecy
- IphtashuFitz, on 01/07/2009, -2/+13My favorite one was the interview in hell with the hijackers a few weeks after 9/11:
http://www.theonion.com/content/node/38673 - IamNOTmrT, on 01/07/2009, -3/+13Does anyone know if terrorists work weekends? If not, then we can at least cross 104 days off the calendar?
Incidentally, check out the '9/11 Conspiracy Theories 'Ridiculous,' Al Qaeda Says' video linked on that page. It's hysterical, and a precise date is hinted at ;) - pintomp3, on 01/07/2009, -0/+10"During the 40-minute speech, Bush also promised to bring an end to the severe war drought that plagued the nation under Clinton, assuring citizens that the U.S. will engage in at least one Gulf War-level armed conflict in the next four years. "
WTF! - BohicaTwentyTwo, on 01/07/2009, -1/+119/11 times a thousand.
- frnzkfk, on 01/07/2009, -5/+14after these past seven years, i really could see DHS issuing a report like this.
- oldhick, on 01/07/2009, -1/+9You didn't have to read it.
- inactive, on 01/07/2009, -4/+12We all love the Onion.
- Bdog2g2, on 01/07/2009, -5/+13Thanks for visiting Digg, Captain Capslock.
- inactive, on 01/07/2009, -3/+10Is Bush planning on staying in office?
- Ophie, on 01/07/2009, -1/+7This is the first onion article that is 100% TRUE.
- UTPinky, on 01/07/2009, -1/+7It's "stuck" on orange. Try flying... They have the same recording playing over and over in pretty much every airport reminding you that "the national threat advisory is orange"
- crodulfo, on 01/07/2009, -1/+7just as they have [NSFW] or [PIC] they should have [OR] for Onion Report so im no so pissed off by the time i go see the article.
- scoot2006, on 01/07/2009, -4/+10I ✈
NY
Is also acceptable. - lornefs, on 01/07/2009, -0/+5I think it's time to turn off your computer and reflect on the fact that you have no sense of humor.
- dirtyhipster, on 01/07/2009, -2/+6Your math sucks. 9/11 = .818181818181818 multiply that by and you get 818.8181818181818182
- Hetman, on 01/07/2009, -1/+5I always thought if the government wanted to round up all the potheads. All they would have to do is release a new cheech and chong movie on 4/20 and they could pretty much have every pothead arrested as they entered the theater that day.
- Sonixunite, on 01/07/2009, -0/+4I was so pissed off at the stupidity that I ripped my cat's skull off. Now that I found out it was a silly Onion joke, I'm in the market for a new cat. Anyone selling?
- eggraid, on 01/08/2009, -0/+4I find it funny every time I read it. Maybe we should coordinate our reading sessions so you can enjoy it too!
- EnergyEinstein, on 01/07/2009, -1/+5Wow.. that's a wonderfully great manipulative way to instill fear! :)
- IphtashuFitz, on 01/07/2009, -1/+5Here's to hoping the terrorists wait until 2/30 to pull off their next attack.
- cloudberries, on 01/07/2009, -1/+5I see the satire inhibitor you had installed last Tuesday is working to full effect...
- PleaseJustDie, on 01/07/2009, -1/+5funny thing about September 11, there's one every year, just can't seem to get rid of them.
- WiretapStudios, on 01/07/2009, -1/+5You should be more outraged at the failings of your government, than a satire parodying them.
- superterrorizer, on 01/07/2009, -1/+4Reading that was like reading an actual government report. Threat level is now mahogany.
- diggydougie, on 01/07/2009, -2/+5Go onion! This just shows how the DHS perpetuates terrorism better than the terrorist do. One attack 7 years ago and they are still churning up our fears.
- elhaf, on 01/07/2009, -1/+3Exactly, and what is terrorism if not manipulating people using fear for political purposes.
- IamNOTmrT, on 01/08/2009, -0/+2That's what I figured. Because then your 72 virgins might become 144 virgins for a weekend attack, and where do we find all those virgins in this day and age?
- Chebsi, on 01/07/2009, -0/+2Ah, that should have been quoted in the article.
- twiztidsinz, on 01/07/2009, -1/+3They offended colorblind people and the government was sued.
- archer104, on 01/07/2009, -1/+32/14? Valentine's Day?
*sees girlfriend opening a box of chocolates*
NOOOOOOOO!! *BOOM!!!* - GhostyBoy, on 01/07/2009, -1/+3I've been doing my part by skipping 9/11 every year since 2001.
As far as I'm concerned today is New Years Eve 2008, let's party! - Aokitsune, on 01/07/2009, -0/+2They would work weekends, but no one's willing to pay them double time and a half.
- BadAsh71, on 01/07/2009, -1/+3I saw this popup in my my Sidebar RSS Reader and thought "damn, those guys are geniuses"... then before I clicked I could already smell The Onion :)
- kenlaw, on 01/07/2009, -1/+3Why is The Onion suddenly the best and most accurate news outlet? I can actually believe that DHS has intensively studied this issue. It took a few million dollars, a couple of years and this was the actual result. Let's just spend billions to provide no real security changes, except for removing my shoes and limiting the size of my shampoo bottle.
- inactive, on 01/07/2009, -7/+9This sounds like a daily headline on Drudge Report & Fox News. Anybody knows what happened to color-coded terror alerts?
- oldhick, on 01/07/2009, -1/+3It's a joke.
