HOO BOY! That's going to go over well... I'll be looking forward to Percy's commentary on this one.

On a side note, I lol'd at the intro comment... my GF wanted to know what the hell was so funny.

My jaw dropped.

The end!! - The Solution: Kill all the Grabblers!

The Onion outdid themselves there.

The Onion is finding it increasingly difficult to satirize a society that is becoming increasing absurd and bizarre. If you played that "Grabbler" segment on the morning TV about 1 in 10 would realize it's a joke.

I know.

Next thing you know, we will be getting all our legitimate news from the Onion!


It's kinda like how Pravda and Russia Today are much more journalistic than US media outlets.

[Awoke]

OMG Dude, I just love the Onion, but this is some funny stuff right here!!!

[keehah]

Normally in Western culture one is allowed to make brief gag association with the most powerful.
Some other lower totem culture needs to take the biggest hit in the set up and explanation of the gag.

Edmund Connelly on Jewish Humor (http://theoccidentalobserver.net/tooblog/?p=3244)

Nice find, goldmonkey.




Who, exactly, are they mocking? True, everyone in the skit is by definition a buffoon, from the character of President
Still, the ADL has yet to issue a condemnation of the skit, something one would expect had non-Jews created a blatantly anti-Semitic image. Or maybe Nathan Rabin had a hand in it. He’s the head writer at the A.V. Club, the entertainment-oriented sister publication to The Onion. Again, I’d like to hear more about this from readers.

In any case, the title of the parody in question is "Overcome Stress By Visualizing It As A Greedy, Hook-Nosed Race Of Creatures." Now to someone of my generation, “hook nosed” is an unambiguously negative reference to Jews. We know this because Jewish groups are constantly telling us NOT to think of Jews in this way. To an older generation, such images are right out of Der Sturmer, the Nazi propaganda magazine:


I must say, the set is professional looking and faux-hosts “Jim Haggerty” and “Tracy Gill” are indistinguishable from the real thing. Under the banner "STRESS RELIEF NOW!" we read about today’s guest: Expert Christine Eckard Shares Stress-Relief Exercises.

On a surface level, the humor succeeds because the hosts and guest are so typical of today’s superficial TV personalities and therapy experts. They’re also very goyish (the name Christine, for example, amplifies this).

As we go deeper, however, it gets more difficult to read. For starters, what they are showing is quite accurate. So how does using the truth perform as part of the humor? I don’t think the skit is making fun of Jews for their appearance or behavior. Rather, I think the writers are making fun, first, of their goy audience. “Look, we’re showing you explicitly what Jews are, yet you’re still too stupid to see it. What can’t we do and not get away with? There is no limit to your goyische kopf stupidity.”

I agree, I wish I could get RT here in the People's Republic of Canada, instead of just Joo-Tube clips.

That was AWESOME.

Attack ideas not groups of people by race.
It is even better to attack individuals for their actions than to attack groups by race.

It you attack a group of people by race, you will lose 10 out of 10 times.

When you are aware of their tactics, you will not fall into their traps.
