as much as that is humorous i still don’t get why The Onion has taken off… Moreover, i don’t get how they can produce so much original content like this.

most of all though, and i guess this is a symptom of the former 2, i don’t get why people keep going back to read that stuff since everything appears the same sacastic perspective applied to a different common situation.

IMO, this is an even better take on forums (also from The Onion):

> **[Man On Internet Almost Falls Into World Of DIY Mustard Enthusiasts](https://www.theonion.com/man-on-internet-almost-falls-into-world-of-diy-mustard-1819571371)**
>
> DES MOINES, IA—When Steve Gibson first became casually involved with an online community of mustard makers, he had no idea his mild interest in the condiment would, within a few short months, spiral dangerously out of control.
