Didn't find it funny at all, but that's just a taste thing. It just didn't appeal to me. No idea why. But it didn't really offend me either.

Thought it was just kind of "Meh." :shrug:

Yeah, "Meh".
Not as funny as the first ones posted by a long shot. If this one is the latest in the sequence then I'd say they were just milking the idea now.

I lmao at both of them.

Well to be more accurate I smiled very slightly and exhaled a bit quicker than normal.

But on the inside I really was rolling on the floor laughing my ass off.

Well, as others may have already said, The Onion makes fun of everybody. I am enjoying the antics of Michael the Autistic Reporter, and while the guy's just an actor, I can't help but imagine if anyone of us can actually be a reporter on TV.
