In striking news today, loud music was heard apparently after a great explosion in cyberspace that rocked the galaxy far and wide. The music playing was identified as the song of an old, 70's British Rock Band named The Kinks, one of only a few rock bands to maintain a sense of humor and actually write songs that are funny. The song heard after the great explosion was "Catch Me Now I'm Falling."
Apparently, the promise of Captain King David that the Death Star Onion would be obliterated has come true. About a month ago, the mercurial and outspoken captain predicted the disintegration of the Death Star Onion by Socialist Coalition forces working for the unmitigated and unquestioned authority of freedom in cyberspace.
It was believed that the satire cite known as "The Onion" was too capitalist and pedigreed to be allowed to survive in the satire world and ought to be put out of its torturous and sanctimonious misery.
"Something that ugly ought to be shot," said Gnarly E. who was back (after looking at pictures in girlie magazines) in Spoofland fighting for freedom and the forces of socialism.
Gnarly E. was reported to have said, "This victory will go down in the history of satire as being one of the greatest."
That's saying an awful lot especially since there have been so many great satiric battles fought.
