Truly a heroic kid

An Onion video

1. This is THE ONION and it probably is better suited to the HUMOR group.

I can't imagine how anyone who has a relative missing would react to this post, particularly since it is presented in such an ambiguous way--designed to fool the reader into clicking on the video.

I should think they'd find it hurtful and distressing.

I didn't think it was funny at all. Not even clever.

The ONION often has hits, this, though, is a huge miss.

3. It's hideous.

4. I recently had a family member die unexpectedly, wrongfully and violently.

I may be over-reacting based on my own personal circumstances; I just think this is terribly insensitive.

7. I am so sorry to hear of the tragedy in your family. I think this parody is just sick.

[MADem]

8. I appreciate your condolences. I agree with your take on this--it's just tasteless, bad, stupid.

More like one of those awful Onion-wannabee sites...

2. It's The Onion. I hope everybody realizes this.

[MADem]

5. It's just not funny, though--Onion or no.

And it's impossible to tell it's the Onion by the OP.

Whatever it is, it's a massive FAIL.

9. Definitely not one of their better efforts.

I just hope the OP and those who look at the thread realize it was intended as satire, even if it wasn't funny.

6. This is too close to reality

We've seen what some kids can do these days. A big fail to the Onion.

10. The Onion is usually great...

... but even they can be wildly off base sometime.

11. agree with others, not funny at all

if they had done it different and made it something like a kid participating in some talent show and the sibling telling people not to vote for them i could see it maybe working.

12. I DON'T CARE IF IT'S ONION, THIS IS IN BAD TASTE AND WORSE YET, DOESN'T BELONG HERE

In one word: SICK
