There is a hysterical satirical newspaper on the web called The Onion.
It is completely irreverent and nothing is sacred. Brilliant stuff.
I won't post any links as they often use colourful language and some may be offended by the subject matter.
But if your dark side needs a chuckle - this is the place to go.
One of the stories which resonates with me is called:
Loved Ones Recall Local Man's Cowardly Battle With Cancer
Whenever one reads a death notice for someone who suffered from a terminal illness, invariably the words "courageous battle " will be included. I do think we are all heroes. However, I sometimes wonder what it would be like if I lost my brave face. Well - this story answers that. It is somewhat cathartic.
Here are headlines from some other great stories you can search for in the archives:
Rebels Immediately Regret Seizing Power In Zambia
God Angrily Clarifies 'Don't Kill' Rule'
Americans Would Be Outraged If They Understood Enron Collapse
Would You Like To Give A Dollar To Prove You Don't Hate Crippled Kids?
Kid Ready To Start Playdating Again
Kids Excited Mom Learning To Swear
Metric System Thriving In Nation's Inner Cities (9mm guns, 10 kgs cocaine, 20 cc syringe)
