Eery foresight on "The Onion"

Postby Arneb » Tue Oct 16, 2007 2:11 pm

I stumbled over this article on the Onion (23 Jan, 2001) purely by accident. I think it gives a chilling read, given what has happened since. As we say in Germany, the laughter gets stuck in your throat...

I can't access The Onion from work. It apparently has "gross or tasteless content." :p

Yep, that was one of those articles that came back again and again after all the "trouble" started.

You know, I think there's a place for the writers of The Onion as minions for The League of Mad Scientists ... hmmm ...
