In de Verenigde Staten bestaat al zolang ik het weet een tijdschrift dat 'The Onion' heet. Het is een krantje elke week uitkomt, gratis voor het grijpen ligt op straat, en volstaat met superieur geschreven onzin, liefst verwijzend naar de actualiteit. Satire op zijn grappigst.
Voorbeeldje van deze week -- met dank aan de kredietcrisis e.d.:
Incredible 'Business-Man' Has Salary Of 10 Regular Men
April 3, 2009 | Issue 45•14
CHICAGO — Sources in the Chicago metropolitan area confirmed Monday the existence of an extraordinary "business-man" imbued with the earning power and fiscal strength of 10 ordinary men. This invincible, superhuman associate is reportedly able to leap from assistant manager to vice president of operations in a single bound, and is believed to have a secret headquarters somewhere deep within the suburbs, where by night he assumes the identity of a mild-mannered family man. Sources claim the man draws his power from a special hand-tailored Italian suit that strikes fear into the hearts of rival equity firms everywhere. The only challenge to the business-man's dominance is reportedly his arch-nemesis, "the business-woman," whom he has kept trapped beneath a protective glass ceiling since 1973.
