This wasn't funny, I didn't laugh or anything.

Onion blows chunks.

my neighbors call the police every time i slaughter their animals. i was TRYING to do them a favor but they're all "blah blah this" and "ritualistic sacrifice is wrong that". next year, i'll just keep all the bones to my self, and how will you like it then?!

That IS the Sonic Guy.

And even though this is hilarious, it's accurate. What is sold as Halloween these days has very, very little to do with what Halloween is actually for.

The true meaning of Halloween is WAY more fun than the true meaning of Christmas. Let's go slaughter some animals.

The pedant would here point out that the primary meaning of the holiday has nothing to do with ghosts and demons whatsoever; it's a harvest-fest, and the animals are slaughtered to provide food for the winter, not to provide sacrifices to Cthulu or whomever else. The superstitions about ghosts walking, etc., were a minor manner, that the populace by-and-large avoided by staying in their homes at night, and putting up various symbols (such as the Jack-o-Lantern) to ward off any spirits that did approach.

But what does the Onion have to do with the real meaning of holidays, anyway? They're as commercial as the candy-sellers--just in a different way.

> Ghosts are people too!

You mean "Ghosts WERE people too!" Now they're just theoretically proposed randomly manifesting hypothesized sentient amorphous ethereal apparitions of non-organic bioelectrical distortion phenomena.

Wow, I'll be much more exciting when I'm dead than I am now!

Welcome back, Turnshroud! No comment for the Onion. I don't think they're very funny. Sorry.

I love The Onion mainly because its hilarious to see if someone actually believes it in the comments section.

Just watched it again. Best line has to be "Frightening away demons is the reason for the season".

Bones... torturing animals... that's against the goddam law
Halloween is pegan, and these days it's about having fun. Nothing else. And BTW, every one loves Jack Skellington because he has been mentioned in the past century AND DOESN"T EAT YOUR SOUL. god...

Oh... it's a joke... Well, not like it's easy to tell when you already have some serous Catholics saying almost the same thing...
