My Area in the Onion!!!

[brigid31]

It turns out that I can waste just as much time on the Internet even if I don't have a computer.  I just do it in the library where I went for work instead of in my room where I don't do work.  Oh, well.

At any rate this post is only because The Onion has a News in Brief about my very own Hometown News station.  And they got the details right.  I feel like they must do this a lot but my area has never been privy to it.  I feel special that the joke is basically only funny for me.  It's on the front page of The Onion but I don't know how long that wil last so I copy and pasted it into here.

"Crank Caller Keeps Jerking Local News Team Around
PLATTSBURGH, NY—The Channel 5 Action News Team was duped once again by a crank call to the WPTZ breaking-news hotline Monday. "I should have known it was too good to be true that Jared [Fogle] would be filming a commercial at the Subway on Campus Drive," reporter Graham Johnson announced from the scene of the restaurant. "I knew that British accent seemed familiar, but it wasn't until we'd all jumped out of the van and rushed into the Subway that I figured it out. The same guy called about the escaped ape last week." Johnson vowed never to ignore his journalistic instincts again."

And there we go.  Plattsburgh on the front page of The Onion online.

LMAO!!! *dies* Of course you're not the only one who find that this is funny! Too bad we can't make a reputable news source...*sigh* Not that the Onion isn't reputable, of course, but whatever...
