playa hatin' (or, let's get a few things straight)

[rone]

Penny Arcade is not funny.
Dave Barry stopped being funny around the time Reagan left office.
Achewood is not funny.
The Onion was funny until they started repeating themselves sometime around `97.  They'll occasionally have a good zinger, but most of their stuff is telegraphed to hell and back.
Jerk City is not funny.
Sinfest is funny until you realize it's a adolescent ripoff of Bloom County with the main character being two-thirds Milo, one third (Watterson's) Calvin.
Something Positive is not funny.
David Letterman is funny only when compared to Jay Leno.
McSweeney's is not funny.

South Park got too repetitive for me, but the movie's a classic.
The Onion is ignorably lame, but wins eternal forgiveness for "Our Long Nightmare of Peace and Prosperity Finally Over". But even if they were back to their old form, I still wouldn't read it because the ads have taken over their site. "They occasionally have a good zinger" covers Penny Arcade and, for that matter, User Friendly. Try again.
I don't get Achewood at all. It makes me think of autism.
McSweeney's is too. pbbbthp.
