I knew from the beginning it was a spoof, so I thought it was very funny. Then I felt really guilty for thinking it was funny!

The Onion is great; I'm glad they're not afraid to cross the sometimes invisible line set by some and they'll poke fun with a topic surrounding disability.
For all you Apple fans out there, check out this exciting new product!

That clip had my ass laughing, and that's unusual. I loved how he was explaining the horror of wheelchair life so nonchalant, and the hosts were just trying to grin through, but Chan's writing up a angst-filled retort was even funnier. OMG!!

This one had me laughing, too, because Triassic and I sometimes spoof on 'inspiring' each other with ridiculous things, the way some ABs do with disabilities. Yesterday I had some guy at my work chuckle and say, 'WOW, you really get around in that thing...what you need is a motor!!'

Don't worry Chan, I've been TOTALLY fooled before (I am also quite gullible) but just don't have the guts to admit it, usually.

You are the farthest thing from a plain fool I know.

but Chan's writing up a angst-filled retort was even funnier. OMG!! Well, it was 3 a.m. I was in a delusional nocturnal state and exceptionally gullible. ...like so many of my past girlfriends!!!  Hey, I'm not sure AB peeps with little 'in-the-know' can get that kinda humor well oz I sent the link to this buddy at my work, and I don't think he really understood it. It's kinda like the movie Spinal Tap - if you're a musician, it's a lot funnier coz so much of what they're spoofing has happened in some context!! |
