It's funny because it's true

This is lazy as blog posts go, but here's a brief Onion article. I don't frequent the Onion all that much, which sometimes makes me think I should get into the habit of frequenting the Onion more, but then I remember that even though it's consistently very funny, it's so formulaic that you really don't have to direct your web browser in that direction more than like every few weeks, if that. But anyway: I don't know what date exactly it stopped being too soon (re: September 11th), but it was obviously a long time ago. Still, I love remembering how the conventional wisdom at the time was that irony was dead. That'll live in infamy like the guy who ran the patent office in 1900 or something said that pretty much everything that would ever be invented already had been. Arguably the last seven years have been something of a more sincere era (emphasis on the "arguably"), but if so it's been skipping along hand in hand with irony, or perhaps living in an apartment with irony with comedic results a la The Odd Couple. (I had to spend like two minutes and utilize Google to remember that title, "The Odd Couple." I have killed off a lot of brain cells, but not so much any more, knock wood.) Anyway, the link to the article, which probably has fewer words to it than this post.
