The Onion News - Videos

Posted on Mar 29th, 2008 by Photizo : A Livingstone Photizo



From time to time I like to pass along a little snapshot of a particulate art form, artist or creative spirit that I find unique, funny, engaging or moving in some way as we live in an age where the Medium in the Message. These artists sometimes ask us to think and stretch the limits of our imagination with their creativity which have come in many different forms.

Sometimes it's just simple act of a hug, the fun and authentic music of  The Kooks, or amazing computer software that changes how we interact as in the Perceptive Pixel  to the incredible CG short movie from Industrial Light and Magic that begs you to look into the body, mind and spirit entitled A Work in Progress or the fantastic and relevant art parody of Havidol  to the creative and professional photography of David Nightengale and of course the Worlds Fastest Car and Sexy Models.

Art comes in so many forms but lately online videos have really been heating up the internet so I thought I would throw one more offering out there for you to take a look at from Onion News.

Having already blossomed as a newspaper, Web site and book publisher, The Onion’s brand of humor is now available in the hottest  medium of the moment: Online video.  If you have never heard of The Onion News they are perhaps the most dominant provider of fake news anywhere. And they do it so well that even some of the comments from the videos posted on YouTube are fooled, which of course says so much for the Idiocracy of America.

 But of all the spoofs they do so well I’m glad to see such great material regarding the Iraq War. As readers of this blog know I have been a strong advocate against this ridiculous war with all it lies and useless destruction it has caused, The untold numbers of human tragedy and suffering our Neocon  Nuts have created as I wrote on in the Maters of War and Memorial Day pieces.
