  • sock2828, on 10/14/2008, -0/+46"According to fans of the show, the squid's most memorable moment thus far occurred last week, when it got a little testy during a discussion on whether teenage girls are getting "too sexy too soon" and squirted 12 gallons of ink onto Sherri Shepherd."

    I would watch that show every day.
  • blademanx, on 10/13/2008, -1/+29I ***** love the Onion.
  • 1776, on 10/13/2008, -2/+27Finally, a reason to actually watch the show.
  • StigNordas, on 10/13/2008, -3/+28This is the funniest thing I've seen on the Onion in ages!
  • djvchris, on 10/14/2008, -0/+21Tentacles and all.
  • Samsauce, on 10/14/2008, -0/+20I clicked on the comments section, scrolled down just to find this comment and digg it.
  • happytedium, on 10/14/2008, -1/+18I think this is The Onion saying to us "The real news has become so ridiculous, this is the sort of stuff we're going with now."
  • graemee, on 10/14/2008, -0/+8You're confusing that octopus porn again.
  • SeaweedWater, on 10/14/2008, -1/+9This joke is back?

    Oh wait.
  • DeviantDragon, on 10/14/2008, -0/+8Sounds like a show already being shown in Japan.
  • TheWriteGuy, on 10/14/2008, -0/+7"According to a network insider, the squid is planning an emotional segment that will air next Wednesday in which it reveals that it has breast cancer."

    Genius writing from the Onion.
  • electrolemon, on 10/14/2008, -0/+7I thought her name was Rosie O'Do-

    OH GOD DAMN IT YOU GUYS
  • Samsauce, on 10/14/2008, -0/+5Look above you doof! Already been said. You have miserably failed on the interwebs.
  • inactive, on 10/14/2008, -0/+5The thing is, every year we say the news is so ridiculous that it defies parody.

    So either we're lying to ourselves or the news gets wackier and wackier every year, on an exponential curve, until in 50 years time there will a muppet running for president, there will be coco krispies rock slides, britney spears will officially be registered as an celestial orbiting body, and miley cyrus will still be relevant.
  • indigit4l, on 10/14/2008, -1/+6You sir are a douche.
  • ThraxyWaxy, on 10/14/2008, -0/+5Haha so did I, too slow to post it myself I guess.
  • secondfiddle, on 10/14/2008, -0/+4If this were true they would have to give the squid nose plugs to handle the smell.
  • GordonFree, on 10/14/2008, -0/+4I don't see the problem, I think it's a great choice. It's a good addition to the cast because it can really bring something new. When does it air?
  • fliptiger, on 10/14/2008, -9/+13I hate Elisabeth Hasslebeck

    The Squid is definitely a shot at her
  • s0nicfreak, on 10/14/2008, -0/+4Oprah?
  • ZombieSociety, on 10/14/2008, -1/+5*generic comment likening homosexual television personality Rosie O'Donnell to a tremendously-sized, deep sea-dwelling cephalopod*
  • ReFleXxXxXxXxX, on 10/14/2008, -0/+4Yeah I thought they already had a giant squid on board.
  • rockstar1o9, on 10/14/2008, -0/+3In terms of hotness, Squid > Whoopi.
  • grey580, on 10/14/2008, -0/+3"Morbo is pleased, but sticky."
  • Navicerts, on 10/14/2008, -0/+2I think the latter is accurate. Idiocracy?
  • yode24, on 10/14/2008, -0/+2i "lol'd"
  • winmywii, on 10/14/2008, -0/+2"My 900 pound friend..."
  • superm401, on 10/14/2008, -0/+2Okay, duly pwned.

    /empathize
  • waywardsoulnf, on 10/14/2008, -0/+2i must say...i was thinking the same thing. good work brother
  • Brododium, on 10/14/2008, -0/+2I think you meant empathise.
  • superm401, on 10/14/2008, -0/+2There's no group I emphasize more with than the long-suffering Architeuthis.
  • inactive, on 10/14/2008, -2/+4I still wouldn't watch.
  • binky79, on 10/14/2008, -0/+2Even if it were true I would still not watch the view.
  • Bovorik, on 10/14/2008, -0/+2Lol @ "emphasize"
  • plokij909, on 10/14/2008, -0/+2He thinks they're bold...
  • bicyclethief, on 10/14/2008, -1/+2Respect the *****.
  • grey580, on 10/14/2008, -1/+2No no. the article said giant squid not giant douchebag.
  • ha3er0, on 06/16/2009, -0/+1I posted this so that someone like you would point it out. Mission Accomplished!
  • inactive, on 10/14/2008, -0/+1Oh snap somebody already said it. Nevermind, bury me. I deserve it.
  • AndrewDB, on 10/14/2008, -3/+3I couldn't tell the difference between when it was talking and Barbra Walters.
  • Dr3w, on 10/14/2008, -0/+1I'd hit it
  • ABombbmoBA, on 10/14/2008, -0/+1Looks like Star Jones and Barbra Walters finally worked out their differences.
  • Yage2006, on 10/15/2008, -0/+1Great finally someone with a brain on the show.
  • superm401, on 10/15/2008, -0/+1Use Yahoo! Pipes or your RSS reader. For most people, it's funnier to have the Onion stories mixed in.
  • infodoc1, on 10/14/2008, -1/+2The squid would probably make more sense than Hasselbeck
  • Zdax, on 10/18/2008, -0/+1900 Diggs.
