I didn't believe it either, but have you ever seen FOX and FRIENDS? They can be just as strangely dismissive and stupid in their comments sometimes. The name of the show looked authentic. I may have missed it, but I didn't see any ONION bugs to identify it as from the Onion or other joke web site.

Other than the cast? If you (or any others) were to freaquent the ONN you'd know their faces right off.

I read that second post by the guy that said he cried and I was like, "man, I don't know if I need to watch a depressing video right now..."


But, jerk that I am, I clicked on the video. About 10 seconds in, when they showed that guy- who looked like death in a shirt- I was like, "Man alive, that is so fake!"

None of you guys really believed that, right? You're joking with us! See, even saying you believed it is fake and I spotted it! I rock.

I normally think the Onion is funny but I think this is an example of the sickest humor
My Mom died of Lung Cancer last month and I don't see the humor in it at all.

That's a good point Lone Star, I never looked at it that way. It does fly in the face of victims of cancer

if humor didn't offend someone somewhere nothing would be funny

cancer sucks but removing it from the target of humor isn't going to make cancer go away, censorship never helps anyone

Well I fully expected someone to be offended, especially if you've lost someone to cancer. I lost my sister at age 46 to stomach cancer in 2007. Regardless, the point of this bit wasn't to make light of cancer, it was to show the serious nature of it and what happens when you ignore doctors.
