Again, The Onion never changed (bless them), but the world did. This doesn't read as satire anymore. In fact, The Onion may just have circumstantially transformed into the most factual reporting one can find these days.
Edit: And Black Mirror is now a god damned documentary.
I was about to say I ate the fucking onion on this one, and that is depressing as hell.
