The L.A. Times? lol, that liberal, pro-illegal rag? L.A. is a total infestation of illegal aliens. Anything that comes out of that city posed as truth is just pro-illegal propaganda.

The article is just an analogy anyway for those who don't know what that is.

You DO realise the onion's specialty niche is spoofing and parodies of REAL news issues, right?

Normally I find The Onion funny, but this was rather weak and seemed to slyly poke fun at Americans being "lazy".
