Taking the Onion one step further on the video stuff is fantastic and needed in this economic crisis!! Humor in their truth!

I spent ten years working for Sony Consumer Electronics in one way or another, so I can quite happily say that this isn't true at all. But how much damage could this do to their brand, and how much could will they learn from it?

It's amazing: The Onion has always maintained itself on as simple a comedy principle as it gets: take a phrase you hear all the time in real life, like "this fucking piece of shit doesn't work right," and develop an entire fake news story around riffing on that one phrase, building it up to the level of farce.

It would be pathetic if it wasn't so completely hysterical at least half the time.

This made me hysterical in a way which really wasn't appropriate for the office. Be warned - this video is extremely sweary, so no good for running in open plan offices or near the kids.

Everyone will have to have one, if they don't already. [Onion, by way of Eschaton.]
