Some people think this video goes “too far.” But I will stand by what was always my strategy when I worked on BU Tonight: funny is funny, even if it’s kinda dark. People can analyze all over the Web what The Onion is getting at here, but I would bet that whoever wrote it (was friend Chris involved?) wrote it mainly because it is funny. It’s REALLY funny. I’m not saying comics don’t have political views — they do, of course — but really, 99 percent of the time I’d say they care way more about laughs than they do about making a real statement.
