Not the ONION

My favorite reddit page. It's an index of real news stories that could have been on the Onion News, with headlines like "Toronto woman trapped in closed department store live-tweets 'terrifying' ordeal" and "Two dogs take a joyride and crash truck into river" ...

The Onion is quite funny sometimes.
Can't believe some actually believe their stories :rofl

I love The Onion, but what's great about "Not The Onion News" is that it's real news stories that sound like they could have been from The Onion. Sometimes the mind does boggle...
