The Onion comes up with some very clever and funny pieces.
For those of you not familiar with it, The Onion is a parody newspaper and website. People may be offended by some of the content, but there seems to be a hint of truth in most of the articles. I think that is why I find it funny.
They recently posted a parody review of a children’s book called “Chomper & Clomper”.
“Scholars and critics across the country expressed outrage this week following the release of Chomper & Clomper, a children’s book that some have called an irresponsible and exploitative portrayal of the celebrated friendship between Clomper, a Brandenburger gelding, and Chomper, a caterpillar of the Junonia genus.”
Good stuff.
To me, this review (and The Onion, in general) serves as a reminder that we sometimes take things too seriously.
You can read the entire review here.
Enjoy!
