    Meanwhile, Americans actively giving money away to make America a "christian" theocracy reached yet another consecutive year record high.

    Felder confirmed that the results were the highest they’d been since 1996 when 80% of Americans stated that they would live under an Islamic theocracy in exchange for a $50 gift card to Radio Shack.

      Just in case you missed it, The Onion is a parody site. Unfortunately their headlines look less and less like a parody these days 🙃

    Every time I see an onion article, I wish they put “(the onion)” first rather than letting me get to the end and start raging.

      The Onion, at this point, is redundant. The world has already become a parody of itself.
