Needless to say (but I’ll say it anyway) the fact that Chinese Communist Party’s People’s Daily (which is like the Huffington Post but with fewer Miley Cyrus sideboob shots) applauded The Onion for selecting North Korean supreme leader Kim Jong-un (not shown above) as the Sexiest Man Alive validates the editorial position of Breitbart.com that The Onion is some kind of radical leftist rag bent on destroying Freedom and America with Chinese Communist Atheistic Sharia something something something.
Or maybe it just means that Chinese People’s Daily and Breitbart.com are both staffed by ideologically-blinkered dumbshits.
One of those.

Yeah what idiots, similarly I once saw a French newspaper that didn’t realize that Brietbart.com was an hilarious over-the-top parody of an insane right-wing Web site, but thought it was real.
Wait, it is real? Seriously?
Heh, those Breitbart commenters aren’t very, uh, bright, are they?
Wait..the “Chinese Communist Party’s People’s Daily” isn’t a parody website?
Next you’ll be telling me that China isn’t a parody country…
You laugh but this Sexiest Man Alive story is a valuable intelligence coup. First, it shows the Chinese have figured out how to defeat The Onion paywall. If The Onion’s security has been breached, it shows how vulnerable America’s secrets are. Second, it also shows China’s ability to analyze America’s secrets is still somewhat limited. They have not learned Rule #1: do not believe everything you read on the Internet. The CIA will exploit this weakness mercilessly.
I guess those knuckleheads aren’t aware that Palestinians are also Semites.
Wait! What? Dja mean that Breitfart.com reeely actually gets “mad” at The Onion??? Because it’s some kind of leftyCommieNazi “conspiracy” hoo-doo-voo-dooGangnam Style? Yer shittin’ me!
That’s even worse than other wingtardia manuevers like ConservaPedia – because WikiPedia, which is only intermittantly factual, is so frickin’ librul that conservatives had to write their own version of “factual reality” – fortunately not a stretch for numbskull rightwingnuts. Or like that ConservaBible project because, the Diety only knows, the King James version (or what have you) portrays Jesus as the hippie soschulisticCommie that he most likely was.
Geez, must be nice to be on the wingnut welfare gravy train where you can pick out random satirical b.s. to get your panties in a big old bunch about. Talk about the 47% Moochers: thy names be all “staff” at breitbart.com.
Which would make these guys, what? I remain confused by the ‘real world’.
That pinging sound you heard was the last of my brain cells shouting “I give up”.
From Liarpedia, the free encyclopedia:
“Conservapedia (1934 Brooklyn-February 19 1999) was an American translator, poet, playwright, and essayist.[1]
He graduated from Colgate University in 1955, and studied at Harvard University. He studied mime with Marcel Marceau and acting with Jacques Charon. He served in the U.S. Army Intelligence, from 1958 to 1960. He was professor at the University of Texas at Austin, from 1967 to 1976.
He translated Euripides, Chekhov, Brecht, Genet, Gogol, Marivaux, and Mayakovsky. He wrote three plays. He won the Helen Hayes Award, and Kesselring Award for best play for Black Sea Follies. He taught at the Yale School of Drama.
His work appeared in The New York Review of Books.[2]
He was married to Stockard Channing.[3]”
Of course Tbogg is defined by the same source as:
“…a species of moth belonging to the family Geometridae… first discovered (and classified as Aplodes Tbogg) by Augustus Radcliffe Grote in 1883. It is indigenous to AZ, NM, and the Davis Mountains in TX.”
Whoa.
Kim Jong-un sideboob shots…
blinkered? Surely, you go too far, sir
The People’s Daily is the home of the fine journalists who publicized Sunol, CA’s “election” of a dog as mayor as evidence that Democracy Doesn’t Work. Sunol, being unincorporated, never had a mayor, a detail that was not a problem for the local bar patrons who “elected” Bosco.
How could you possibly confuse these fine journalists with The Onion?!
You know, China is definitely a very different country these days (certainly from when I last was there, which was pre-Deng Xiao Peng – yikes). I think the “People’s Daily”, which has always been much more like the World Net Daily than, say, the AP or Reuters has gone totally post-modern and “ironic” in order to keep the vast Peoples’ Liberation Army computer virus/espionage teams amused; those that are totally plugged into the Intertubes and busily sabotaging us and otherwise stealing stuff. It’s a chaotic world folks and only going to get much, much more chaotic.
Besides, just by looking you can see that Kim Jong is a one, at best.
I understand the Chinese not getting it… But Brietbart.com? Oh, wait, they have something in common — ideological blinkers that keep them from seeing reality… Though I’m not so sure about the Chinese…
I don’t think they could even find Sunol*. (In person; forget finding it on a map.)
*I grew up in the area; I know where it is.
PSY’chd!
Well, the link is broken now, so apparently the People’s Daily figured out the joke. Unsurprisingly, they can learn faster than the Breitfarts.
Jebus, Tbogg, you make “side boob” seem like a bad thing. Do you hate America?
It’s sad they pulled it down. The diplomatic thing to do would have been to add an update saying, “While The Onion article may have been in jest, ours was from the heart. Rock on Jung-un!”
We can retire the old saying, ‘The blind leading the blind.’ New adage- ‘Like the dead leading the stupid.’
So many idiots, so few heart attacks.
That would be the “sexy Kim”. He is number one; all others are number two or lower. He is also terribly mysterious, and he shovels well.
Chinese Communist Party’s People’s Daily (which is like the Huffington Post but with fewer Miley Cyrus sideboob shots)
How can this publication be taken seriously if it refuse to feature the requisite number of “sideboob shots?” Arianna and Tina Brown should jet over there forthwith and square them away on just exactly what’s what. As for Dead Breitbart, I’m thinking airstrike…
OT:
Run, Erick, run!

Shit. I was betting it would be Newt Gingrich this year
You beat me to it.
Set your sights higher TBogg. Plus I’m pretty sure Erick can horse dance with the best of em.
Oh please oh please oh please oh please….
Sometimes The Onion is so true its scary.

Gee TBogg, behind the curve again. With the Cooch looking to run for guv of the commonwealth named after the “Virgin Queen”. And Erick Erickson looking to primary Saxby Chambliss from the right. Wonder is Erickson will portray Chambliss as a “card carrying sympathizer of al Quaeda” or is that shtick lost with the Naughts.
And dangnabbit, The Onion is the best online and print news. Like those great TV pundits, Stewart and Colbert, they tell us the truth–in their own sort of way. When clowns run the governments (no offense to real clowns), then it takes a comedian to do the play-by-play.
Occam’s razor suggests it’s the latter.
Gangdumb style…
More side boobs. Less side bombs.

Heh!
I gotta say that Psy’s got some good pipes on him. Can’t help but wonder what he’d sound like doing opera.
God bless you! :)
This ‘article’ is getting long in the tooth and I expect more for my money.
Chop chop post-haste funny guy.
Thursday! Dogz? Or does it just seem late because I ‘m on the East Coast tonight?
Anyway..want WEMBLEY AND FENWAY!
