- saraid216 13y agoYou know, this is popular to say, but it's an incredibly stupid statement. The Onion is about absurdist humor. Absurdism makes some sense as political satire, but it's also anti-progress satire. The inability to differentiate the absurd from reality is just as likely to be due to the fact that we've achieved something previously thought, and still popularly held, to be absurd. "What's next? You'll let women vote?"
