What do they mean American’s debating? Nobody’s said a damn word.
Blake on August 13, 2007 at 10:47 PM
Probably time for the official “This is an Onion parody” warning, eh?
Allahpundit on August 13, 2007 at 10:49 PM
“God bless America and its gays.” Oh man that was really really funny. 7 ha! ha! 7…he said it so matter-of-factly…i’m crying…oh funny!
Weight of Glory on August 13, 2007 at 10:51 PM
Well after all the Ring kissing the dems did in the last few weeks with the Organized labour and Gay actist debates they dont want you to get the idea that they are involved in speical interest dont you know ?
William Amos on August 13, 2007 at 10:51 PM
I still can’t stop laughing…7… hee hee
Weight of Glory on August 13, 2007 at 10:52 PM
Definitely.. you should have let it go for a little while though.
RightWinged on August 13, 2007 at 10:53 PM
man-on-man…hehe…woman-on-woman…oh I think i pissed my pants a little bit…
Weight of Glory on August 13, 2007 at 10:53 PM
Gays in the military
heh
William Amos on August 13, 2007 at 10:55 PM
I watched it again and on the crawl it says that mathematicians have rounded PI down to three. Good to know!that will make finding circumference easier.
Weight of Glory on August 13, 2007 at 10:57 PM
Funny!! Delicate constitutions, indeed.
I agree, Weight of Glory. Regular Pi was a b*$#h for calculating.
mjk on August 13, 2007 at 10:59 PM
So was that a canukistani uniform or just a sorry-butt JROTC?
TheEJS on August 13, 2007 at 11:02 PM
Heh! That’s funny!
Weight of Glory on August 13, 2007 at 11:02 PM
Loved the uniform!
bnelson44 on August 13, 2007 at 11:04 PM
TheEJS,
Didn’t you recognize it? It was a “finda pin and put it anywhere” uniform. :)
bnelson44 on August 13, 2007 at 11:05 PM
concerning the Bond girl post, the Rosie post, the Matthews post, and gays in the military post, this can be said: the first is easy on the eyes, the second has squeezy fatty thighs, the third’s a sleazy sack of lies, and the fourth is just darn funny!
Weight of Glory on August 13, 2007 at 11:18 PM
I don’t know. The ONN banner (top of the video stream) did not tip me off at all.
/scarasm
F15Mech on August 13, 2007 at 11:19 PM
AP.. it’s strange……
I have not seen any Islamic parodies from the Onion.
Sure is strange…..
Mcguyver on August 13, 2007 at 11:24 PM
Crawl at bottom… “30,000 people drafted to live in Nebraska”. That’s funny!
I dunno…having the gays play their Cher or Kylie Minogue or Cyndi Lauper or Madonna or Elton John over and over would make even the most hardened terrorist buckle.
SouthernGent on August 13, 2007 at 11:30 PM
Imagine this guy in combat.
- The Cat
P.S.
Heh Mark II
MirCat on August 13, 2007 at 11:32 PM
The actors they get are great at delivering their lines in such a serious manner. I don’t know if it’s hard as an actor, but it sure makes for great comedy in their format.
frankj on August 13, 2007 at 11:33 PM
McGuyver-
It’s for the same reason.
To protect their fragile psyches.
They cannot handle humor as normal people can.
*~@):~{>
profitsbeard on August 13, 2007 at 11:33 PM
You must have missed this then.
Allahpundit on August 13, 2007 at 11:35 PM
THAT was hilarious… The response of “7″ made me scream out loud laughing! (but then again, I am gay, so what would you expect? LOL)
D2Boston on August 13, 2007 at 11:53 PM
Snark… O.K. is your bag full yet?
You know good and well what I meant! :)
You’re getting warmerrr…. :)
Mcguyver on August 13, 2007 at 11:55 PM
You’d HAVE to draft me to live in Nebraska. And I live in Montana!!!
Cher, Kylie Minogue, Cyndi Lauper, Madonna, and Elton John music makes me tell people everything. It’s terrible, terrible music. And I’m not even being tortured, unless living in the horrible Bush regime is, in fact torture. ;)
mjk on August 13, 2007 at 11:56 PM
Heh, Allah you should just not tell people these are Onion clips and see how many you can snag before they catch on.
Bad Candy on August 14, 2007 at 12:00 AM
True, especially when the 3rd highest award he’s received is the national defense service medal (aka join the mil and receive a free award!).
TheEJS on August 14, 2007 at 12:03 AM
So Allah, are you saying we should eat gay people?
(10 points for the first one to guess where I stole that bit from)
RightWinged on August 14, 2007 at 12:09 AM
from the clip?
Weight of Glory on August 14, 2007 at 12:10 AM
RW, I know where you stole that from, its a good indicator of insomnia, or a Tivo…
Bad Candy on August 14, 2007 at 12:48 AM
Well, I can’t say “no”, because I actually haven’t had a chance to watch this clip. But, that’s not where I got it from… Sounds like Bad Candy knows what I’m talking about… speaking of which, we’ve got about 45 minutes until “NOISE! EXPLOSIONS! BACK RUBS!”
RightWinged on August 14, 2007 at 1:11 AM
Heh.
Bad Candy on August 14, 2007 at 1:15 AM
This is a classic.
Pablo on August 14, 2007 at 1:15 AM
Well, I’m guessing the same place I stole the bit about someone not wasting a nuke on Canada. Stupid, hysterically funny insomnia.
Oh, and the only other place where people thought Farfour the Terror Mouse was hilarious. (and Winnie the Jew)
I flove it.
mjk on August 14, 2007 at 1:18 AM
Okay, I’m not guessing, cause I already know. I just knew being a chronic insomniac would pay off at some point. Who knew the reward would be watching Fox News at 12am (Mountain Time)?
And I will admit that I am crushing on the guys on that show quite a lot.
mjk on August 14, 2007 at 1:30 AM
“Seven.”
Hilarious.
Nonfactor on August 14, 2007 at 1:31 AM
You know what they say about great minds…they’re almost always an hour or two ahead of me.
;)
soundingboard on August 14, 2007 at 1:34 AM
I guess sheep in the military would just be too obvious.
Mojave Mark on August 14, 2007 at 1:49 AM
Hahaha!
Tanya on August 14, 2007 at 7:49 AM
hahaha That guy wouldn’t last 5 minutes in basic training.
csdeven on August 14, 2007 at 7:57 AM
We need to protect our homosexuals, I couldn’t agree more. A world without Rosie, Ellen, Hillary and Big Gay Al would be a world without laughter. I understand there is a special forces battalion on alert to defend Provincetown, MA, and the MA state house members in case of invasion.
Same sex marriage, turkey basting fisting and gay bowel syndrome…let freedom ring.
Hening on August 14, 2007 at 8:12 AM
Funny as that was, isn’t that (the army exists to protect America’s gays) exactly what Fred Phelps’ bunch believes?
Frozen Tex on August 14, 2007 at 8:19 AM
Those who are willing to give up interior decorating for freedom deserve neither.
BohicaTwentyTwo on August 14, 2007 at 9:28 AM
ONLY in a spiritually sick, perverted, and politically correct mind is “gay”, good…
NRA4Freedom on August 14, 2007 at 10:03 AM
…in defense of America’s precious, precious homosexuals.
MT on August 14, 2007 at 10:24 AM
That was priceless. Just like our homosexuals. Seven!
Laura on August 14, 2007 at 11:22 AM
all these positive comments about the video being funny and then this lol. Well played.
crr6 on August 14, 2007 at 11:51 AM
I think you only get that one if you’re Active Duty when there’s a war going on. (I joined in 1981 but didn’t the NDSM until the end of Desert Storm.)
That “general’s” uniform was fun. Looked sort of Soviet.
Reeled another one in, I see. :-)
baldilocks on August 14, 2007 at 12:35 PM
I think that the first time I laughed after 9/11 was while reading that Onion satire of the hijackers in Hell.
baldilocks on August 14, 2007 at 12:40 PM
“Seven.”
ROFL
SPQR on August 14, 2007 at 10:14 PM
A couple Navy ribbons here, an Air Force ribbon or two there, a variety of shiny rating emblems sprayed about, and you have yourself an Onion “general”.
I give them credit, they wouldn’t actually portray an authentic uniform in one of their parodies, but for the kind of people who would get sucked in by their humor, it never pays to look too closely.
