I love The Onion.
I’m pretty sure that the writers aren’t taking a position on euthanasia here, but doing what satirists do best; they’ve taken a well-known, overused, emotionally manipulative and predictable script – and then twisted the context.
I apologize for the lack of captioning, but I couldn’t pass this up. If there’s a good transcriptionist reading this, I promise you gratitude and credit if you want to transcribe this and send the transcript for posting.
So – for those of you who’ve followed NDY and enjoy satire, enjoy the video. For pro-euthanasia advocates who’ve checked in to see what we’re up to, prepare to be offended by the video story below.
