The Onion and Comedy Central To Make The Onion Sports Network
Anyone who reads the Onion knows about OSN–the Onion Sports Network–which has regular, hilarious features like “The Steam Room” in which the featured guest must endure several grueling minutes taking rapid-fire questions from the host Tim Devanin. The OSN in one of my favorite aspects of the Onion News Network (which has been in existence since 1748). It regularly and ceaselessly skewers the players, teams, logos, buildings, coaches, fans and the very nature of the sports themselves.
It makes perfect sense, and one wonders why this hasn’t happened before, that Comedy Central would attempt to funnel some of the Onion’s comedic collateral to its brand. With a satirical news lineup that includes the Daily Show and the Colbert Report it seems that a satirical sports show would slide right in.
“With only 57 cable channels devoted to talking about sports, we felt that the sports world wasn’t getting the attention it deserved,” said Will Graham, one of the shows Executive Producers. Julie Smith, the second OSN Executive producer, added, “‘The Onion Sports Network’ will be the most intense televised sports news program in recorded human history.”

The tickets are now diamonds!
the tickets are now diamonds!
This is an image from the Old Spice commercial onto which I’ve Photoshopped (poorly) my brother’s head. I’m going to be posting a series of images (I think) which display the attitude expressed in the phrase “the tickets are now diamonds!” Feel free to send me your pictures that show illustrate “the tickets are now diamonds!” . ruler@rulerofnations.com
Here’s another as an example:

New Karate Kid Movie Will Suck Ass
lame.
Nothing is sacred, my friends. It would be pointless for me to go on a rant about how Hollywood has no creativity. The only thing that’s left for them is to recycle movies from the past. That would be pointless because you already know what. If you didn’t know that, then you do now.
stupid.
TrailerAddict.com has the first trailer for the remake of the classic 1984 movie Karate Kid which starred Ralph Macchio, Elizabeth Shue and Pat Morita. This time Will Smith’s son Jaden (who sounds just like Will Smith) will star as Dre Parker (the Daniel Larusso character) and Jackie Chan will play the unassuming karate master Mr. Han (Mr. Miyagi). This is blasphemy. In the new movie, Dre and his mom move to Beijing to begin a new life. I have no idea what would motivate a mother to move her son to a country run by a communist dictatorship. Why can’t they just move from New Jersey to Reseda, like in the original?
the original cobra kai were better
There’s so much that’s already wrong with this. I’m officially boycotting it. So should you. They’re destroying everything awesome about the original movie. Instead of “wax on, wax off” it’s “take off your jacket, put your jacket back on”. Seriously? Are they going to take out the best line in the whole movie? “Sweep the leg, Johnny!” Maybe at the end of the remake everyone will be friends and no one will get hurt.
I would like to go on record as stating that this is dangerously close to my last straw. If a remake/reboot of Back to the Future comes out I will boycott all movies…period. I don’t care if the Coen brothers do a Big Lebowski 2 (which they wouldn’t). After Hollywood remakes/reboots Back to the Future I am cashing out. All done! No more! Not a penny more of my money will go to purchasing movie tickets.
