Before I saw the onion I thought this was real

That means it's working *troll face*

Yeah I thought it was some put pf touch right wing conservative media outlet accusing the left of doing something before I saw the onion

At press time, Gen Z had dropped a hint that it had something to do with the Genovian monarchy.

I thought that The Princess Diaries movies were generally well received.

That’s Dame Julie Andrews, you, you anti-imperialist Onion people!

And what does all of this say about Anne Hathaway? /s

The onion is accusing Gen Z of being inhuman monsters now?

There's nothing wrong with addressing her endorsement of a micro-nation.

Ever since I watched The Man in the High Castle I get creeped out by the song Edelweiss

A swing and a miss, I think. Julie Andrews is generally fabulous. From Sound of Music to SOB to Victor Victoria. An incredible set of pipes and a nice rack to boot.

Julie Andrews is generally fabulous.

That's part of the joke (I don't think it works as well if the subject is lecherous scum, or Frank from accounting) but to each their own!

I kind of get what they were going for, but I guess I just didn’t find it all that funny or clever. Kind of a dud. The fact that she starred in SOB showing her boobs, and played a drag king in Victor Victoria demonstrates she’s not just squeaky clean Mary Poppins. I also don’t think Gen Z runs around labeling everyone and everything as problematic. Sounds like something someone out of touch from Babylon Bee would come up with.

I suspect you don't get the joke, because you are the joke.

Sounds like the joke wasn't aimed at you.

What the hell is SOB, you s.o.b.‽

Holy hell, that cast list. That's a who's who of 1981 movie stars. And damn, I was born the year Julie Andrews showed us her tits. Hmmm...

It's time to cancel reddig33.
