Drownded

From The Onion (it's their job to be offensive):

Delta Blues Poised For Biggest Revival Since 1915
NEW ORLEANS—Blues historians report that Delta blues, an early blues form that arose in the Mississippi Delta region, is poised for its biggest revival since 1915. "Death, loss, heartbreak, isolation, hard luck—that's what the blues have been missing for decades," said music critic Joel Kushner. "But now, even the most sheltered, derivative Delta blues musician should have enough material to cut an album." The revival is heralded by the recent singles "FEMA Don't Come 'Round No More," "Category Five Woman Done Me Six Kinds Of Wrong," and "Talkin' Drownded Kin Blues."
Too soon? Then here's something we can all get behind: Dave Matthews Not That Into Himself Anymore ("Rock music with a violin? I don't know. Seemed cool once.")

I still think that "Japan forms alliance with white supremecists in well thought-out plan" is the funniest thing they've ever written. I much prefer when they attack deserving targets, this new one is kinda pushing it.

I love the "Opinion" section... one recently had "Last week, Apple introduced the wafer-thin iPod nano. What do YOU think?"

Best response: "At last, after years of false hopes and empty promises, I can finally shove 1,000 songs up my ass."
