I just went to a couple of news sites to try to come up with something to blog about, but instead of finding anything I found myself bored by many of the artictles. I then discovered that I spend far more time on theonion.com than on any other news site. I thought that was pretty funny to begin with, but I wasn't sure if I should be worried about that. I like to think of myself as moderately informed when it comes to current issues, but I still spend more time reading fake news instead of real news. Someone has used citizen media in a truly comical way. Satirizing current issues is nothing new, but the onion is so funny in its presentation. Whether it be articles about everyday, mundane circumstances that are somehow turned into comical articles, or serious issues that are satirized, the onion always entertains me. Anyway, its funny and people should check it out. It's not citizen media at its finest or most useful, but it's really funny...
peace
