In the forum closest to the subject being parodied? In random? I've held off on posting some funny satirical articles because they aren't exactly news, but they didn't seem quite right for PPR or Random either. I know I'm not the only one to get vaguely irritated when articles from The Onion show up in News and Current Events, so any suggestions as to where these should go?

I think the forum closest to the subject being parodied would be good. I've seen it done before.

Closest forum, but PPR if you're uncertain and it's likely to start an argument.

Or at least, that's what I'd do.

Why would posting something in PPR start an argument :lol:
