"The Onion" reports from 2056 A.D.

[guy incognito]

Call it the flip side of Our Dumb Century. This time they offer a glimpse of the headlines of the future, in their 300th anniversary issue:

"Haliburton Wins Bid To Rebuild Midwest"

"Overcrowding Reaches Crisis Level At Yellowstone National Parking Lot"

"Construction Begins On Fifth World Trade Center"

"Yankees Lose In 50th Straight Pennant Race: Fans Blame 'Curse of Jeter'"

I would've liked a "Tigers dynasty reigns, winning ninth straight pennant" headline. :classic:

Unfunny and Obvious is your response to this thread.

I read somewhere that there is a movie that's supposed to be coming out based on The Onion.

WHo said it was supposed to be funny? Also, of course it's obvious. I am always right about things about this. So it's obvious that this would be true this time.

What is funny there? The obvious political humor (the Haliburton thing) or the tired, stupid joke about the Yankees? Or the bad pun about Yellowstone?

I didn't say it was funny.

I didn't say your post was meant to be funny. Thus, your post was indeed unfunny.

Also, your opinion about the onion has been made well known in the past...so, your response was also obvious.

No meanness intended, just an opportunity to use your words in another response.

In the annals of Onion journalism, nothing will ever beat "Christ Returns To NBA."

Believe it or not, I have grown to truly like you.
