The Onion On Nice Guys ™

Posted by Ampersand | November 18th, 2008

Brilliant. (Via Amanda).



Attractive Girls Union Refuses To Enter Into Talks With Mike Greenman

(All the women in the “attractive girls union” appear to be white. Thoughtlessness or satire?)

    Uh, there are definitely non-white women in that group (just not visible in that particular shot).

    I’m going to e-mail this to my son. He doesn’t qualify as a “Mike”, but some of this friends do. Pretty funny.

    It is funny… I feel a little churlish for getting frustrated with “girls” as a descriptor for adult women. (I know, I know, it’s comedy, yadda yadda.).

    [...] From Alas, a Blog, a video from The Onion about the Nice Guy complex. [...]

    Am I the only one who could really have done without the reference to the ‘frizzy-haired slightly-overweight girls’ union’?

    Ah, the Onion. So close to being really entertaining, and so continually shooting itself in the foot with crap like that.
