Okay, it was a video so I did not watch it.  However anything that as "the onion" in it is satire.  And different people find different things amusing.

Yes, I am sick.

Or am I?

Your not sick Level, your just unique. I, also being unique, understand this as I find the onion funny as hell.

And the moral message behind it is a plus.

Status: offline 		Yeah, OP, just for future reference.....anything you read on "The Onion's" website is a joke. Don't believe a word of it. Though, many times, it winds up being hilarious because in their kidding, they speak real truths. Love "The Onion" on the web and in print!

Until I am informed otherwise, I am going to give the OP the benefit of the doubt and presume that she knew the baby skulls bit wasn’t real but thought that the use of dead babies as a source humor was over the line.
