I like the idea, but the execution suffers from lack of subtlety, as is typical of The Onion.

Yeah-- like a lot of their originally humorous concepts, it goes on a bit long.

They should have gone in the opposite direction. Rather than spoofing people comparing Syria to Iraq, they should have spoofed people saying it wasn't the same at all.

The first time I started reading it, I didn't pick up on the spoof. It just seemed random and obscure.
They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.

There's a fine line between salvation and drinking poison in the jungle.

I'm embarrassed. I've been making the mistake of associating with you. It won't happen again. :)

Still not an Ed 'millipede' Millibrand yet. More like an old mangy dog not allowed to maul the children down the street.

Well that / he doesn't want this to just be a token effort.
