It'd be even funnier if it wasn't also pretty true.

I don't think it is true. That guy is taking the piss. If the quote is genuine. I can tell someone's having a laugh, trying to goad people.
I suppose if you're looking at a life in jail, that's all you've got left.

Edit. So it's a spoof, is it? I dunno, I never heard of onion. I preferred it when I thought it was genuine.

Let us think the unthinkable, let us do the undoable, let us prepare to grapple with the ineffable itself, and see if we may not eff it after all.

mistermack, that's what makes the onion so good ... 8-)

And man, is it great! All those remorse pounds I lost came right back with my renewed appetite, and I'm sleeping better than ever. Sure, every once in a while, my dreams are interrupted by the image of that 6-year-old with a broken neck pointing at me, but that's why I keep ol' 1 John 1:9 taped to my ceiling: "If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness." Pretty straightforward, right? And it's not like that kid isn't in heaven right now, bathing in His loving light and everything.

See, God's looking out for both of us.
Ohhhh, that's about as dark as satire gets .... Good stuff.

It's actually one I've quite liked as opposed to simply found funny.

Someone's making a point, rather than a joke.
"The fact is that far more crime and child abuse has been committed by zealots in the name of God, Jesus and Mohammed than has ever been committed in the name of Satan. Many people don't like that statement but few can argue with it."

The Onion does that all the time.

Yes it is funny in a way, but there is quite often an underlying message there.

I meant making serious commentary instead of just saying "Oh look, how silly is is that people do this" which is what most of their articles are like.
