Ithaca, NY - After reading the latest issue of The Onion, local man, Paul Munn, announced to no one in particular that he was way funnier than those guys, and should totally be writing articles for them. “How do you get on their staff anyway?” he mused. “Maybe I should just send them something and they’ll see right away how good I am.”
At press time, this was the only entry that had been posted.
Sources close to Munn expressed less enthusiasm, saying they couldn’t think of anything funny that he had said in all the years they’d known him. When pressed for further comment, Dann Williams, 44, also well known for not being funny, said, “Paul can be funny on rare occasions, but usually when he’s not intending to be.”
Concluding that the constant pressure to churn out humorous content might stifle his creativity, Munn decided to start his own web site and post stuff whenever he felt inspired. “I don’t need those guys anyway - I can totally do this alone” said Munn, adding “Who knows - maybe my site will end up more successful than theirs.” After three hours of activity that mostly involved choosing the right font, Munn had created a blog called Paul’s News In Brief, blatantly stealing the title from the Onion’s News In Brief section.
