Area Man Lets Go of Envy and Allows Himself to Enjoy a More Successful Comedy Website
New Canaan, CT – Local resident Bret Runestad finally admitted to himself and others that he actually finds the humor website ‘The Onion’ to be quite funny this past Friday night at a dinner party with friends. “We’re both funny and I refuse to feel guilty anymore about having it bookmarked. I mean, whatever, they do their thing with the news spoof and we have our own thing with the whole real loosely structured ‘thought.’ There’s plenty of room in the market for two great comedy sites,” reasoned Bret. “So they’ve published books of their stuff and their writers get paid. At least we’ve still got that independent edge.” A confused gathering of Bret’s old high school friends looked on in puzzlement as Bret ranted on through the sorbet course. Acquaintance Ryan Houck had the following to say, “Oh man, are you serious? I thought Bret was totally kidding I’d never heard of that monkey one before. The Onion kicks ass though, it’s hilarious. Seriously funny.” The meal concluded with a delicious peach pie.
