The Onion is claiming to have been sold to a Chinese company and is running such hilarious stories as "China Strong," "Nothing At All Happens To 28 Tibetan Protesters, Their Families," and "Pristine Shipment Of Fish Product Contaminated By Filthy U.S. Inspectors"

As of press time, the brute and inexpressive English language could not convey the full magnificence of China, nor its excellence in every arena, nor the protective warmth of the red sun that shines forever on its borders, nor the innumerable glories of its Great Leaders.

Check out the brilliant parody website they made for their new "parent company" http://www.yuwanmei.com/home, be sure to read through the products that they offer...

Potato-Faced Youngster Lauded For Memorizing Primitive 26-Character AlphabetJuly 20, 2009 | Issue 45•30

PHOENIX—Christopher Pierson, a glassy-eyed, slothful lump of a child who still watches cartoons despite being tall enough to reach a polymer-injection molding station, was endlessly praised Monday for recalling the scant 26 letters in the American alphabet.

That is funny as hell. And you know what? I can share it with Americans of Chinese extraction and they think it is as funny as I do. Some Xchinese is moonlighting at the Onion. Who?

(When I ask who is writing for the Onion, I need to make clear that I am using the English pronoun, not the Chinese name!)
