    Default Anyone watched this interview with an apparently real ET?

    Boy Finds Own Real-Life E.T. | The Onion - America's Finest News Source | Onion News Network

    Not sure what to think of it but if it is an real alien it is cute, but probably fake.

    Is the onion a trustworthy news source? Sounds like a spanish person to me.

    lol, no. The onion is a parody. All the reports are fake, but they are meant to be funny.

    this is a true story... long ago, when the onion was first being published, the chinese government took one of the parody articles in it seriously and gave an official government statement concerning what it claimed to concern. i cannot remember what the article concerned, but i swear on my life that i know this story to be factual.

    also, just as an aside, i lived for a long time in boulder, colorado, where the onion originated, and i've always loved reading it. sometimes the humor falls a little flat, but occasionally it has had me rolling around laughing out loud.

    The Onion is never meant to be taken seriously. As soon as I saw where it was from, I didn't even bother to click the link.
