Goddamn onion, got me again
Almost here as well. Opened my mouth but didn't fully commit to the bite.
I was just about to bite when I saw the community, had to double check it wasn't c/nottheonion.
Reality is getting too weird now, it's hard to work out if it's an onion or not.
Too many layers of weirdness!
The aviation nerd in me wants everyone to know that's actually a picture of a completely different plane. I'm pretty sure that's a Douglas C-47 Skytrain.
(Sorry I don't have a funny comment to add.)
If someone wasn't in the comments saying this, or "that asphalt isn't the right type for La Guardia", or "based on the sky in the background, this is actually somewhere in the southern hemisphere", then I'd be on the wrong website.
It's also clearly CGI.
Thank you for this. It was really bugging the shit out of me. I can't help myself lol.
Me: "Wtf?! That's no Lockheed Electra Model 10! Hoax!"
Sometimes useful outweighs funny.
Next on the agenda: finding the Lindbergh Baby™
92 year old Charles Augustus Lindbergh Jr was discovered by Onion editors during a weekly staff meeting after secretaries noticed that Lindbergh had been employed by the Onion as an entertainment staff writer for the past four years.
Fuck I never thought to check the employee org chart
Hey somebody check for a Hoffa, Jimmy.
The Lindbergh baby has been wandering around La Guardia for decades like Tom Hanks in The Terminal.
He was killed the same day he was kidnapped and his body was found about 2.5 months later. He was found 4.5 miles from his home partially buried in the woods.
Oh shit!
oh shit.
I called it in 2009, LaGuardia!
