    What is this, the Onion?

    (Area)Man’s employment, dating prospects dim.

    :)

    Yeah, my first thought was “The Onion,” too.

    Good call Arpal. And the Onion is so incredibly tiring with its semi-clever, Mad Magazine grown up humor.

    I must admit that:

    “…twice-convicted sex offender working at Perdue Farms Inc. in Bridgewater has now been charged with “sexting” a teen.”

    reads as if it is the wrong article for the headline.

    Do I sense an oops heard ’round the watercooler? Or perhaps this makes sense if decoded with the rot-13 method.

    Is this one sentence supposed to be the whole article? Really lame.

    What is wrong with you people?

    The title means the man is probably in danger of losing his job after this arrest… “Man’s employment dim”

    Then it goes on to say his prospects of dating are dim as well, because he’s going to be in jail most likely.

    No Gas what’s wrong is that this article has a 10th Grade smirk for a title instead of a mature news approach.

  • Gasbag Self Ordained Expert May 27th, 2010 | 11:00 am

    I think the title fits the mentality of the suspect. We have a convicted pervert out allegedly doing the same thing again.

    Geez. I bet some of you posters are the hit of the party.

    is getting to be as tiresome as its rival, C-ville Weekly, with all this “I’m so hip it hurts” posturing. Yawn.

    *yarn* (country-fied)

    This is like when the owner of the club comes onstage and makes the audience cringe for 3 minutes.

    (Coy: Reallly ??)

  • Bootzilla May 28th, 2010 | 9:44 am

    @Figaro: Isn’t that called a “Fred Boyce” ??

  • Look both ways May 28th, 2010 | 11:00 pm

    C’mon now, the onion is great, equally offending all who read. “inner-city stabbing leaves 5 maidless”… Whats not to love about that?

    Bullet to the back of the head

    OMG, look at his photo. He must be scaring the chickens to death!

* People say the darndest things, but language stronger than "darn," insulting words like "stupid," ethnically or racially disparaging language, and comparing people to Hitler usually results in deletion of the comment and may get you blocked from further commenting.
