"I didn't even start at the end, folks."

I had to check the community when I saw the headline, although the article is a bit heavy-handed.

Man, I wonder who owns the hard drimes. They clearly have more budget than the Onion!

I've definitely been finding their headlines to be much more clever than the Onion's for a little while now. They really don't pull punches, either, while the Onion's felt a bit meek.

The onions sound more legitimate. These are silly but fun.

Yeah more of the onion forces me to check the source than hard times. Still funny though.

They take more suggested titles, so they have more to pull from.

The headline got me for a second there, but only because it's exactly what I'd expect from that piece of shit.
