Accessing Theonion.com From Argentina

[Redpossum]

I just tried to access TheOnion.com from here for the first time and when I hit search, I received a popup that said -

Use a free VPN or proxy server located in USA. You might also have luck using translate.Google.com and then selecting original instead of a translating in to Spanish. That's what we do at work to read foreign affairs And other sites.

Good tip about Google translate, thank you. But the point of posting what I did was purely amusement. The Onion videos are available on YouTube.

And Foreign Affairs? Lord, what are you doing reading such conservatard trash, good buddy? It's like a pseudo-intellectual annex to Fox News, and their view of international relations resembles an unholy amalgam of WINEP and PNAC; pure unabashed Amerikan Exceptionalism all the way. OMG teh evul muslims are coming to steal our liquor and white wimmen! Scary Islam!!! They have really big bombs! Be afraid, very afraid!

In fairness, the Onion also takes on Randian delusions directly: http://www.avclub.com/article/matt-taibbi-47077, and suggest solutions: http://www.theonion.com/articles/new-breeding-program-aimed-at-keeping-moderate-rep,27371/
