"American students traveling abroad confirm the findings of a study indicating that Washington’s unilateral approach to foreign policy has seriously undermined Americans’ chances of getting laid." – more quality from The Onion
One factual error in the article, though: it advises American backpackers to "focus your itinerary on countries like Ireland and Japan that are still relatively friendly to Americans." Maybe this is still the case for the Japanese, but all the Irelanders I’ve met in recent times seem to have similar attitudes to the US as everyone else in Europe…
"Maybe this is still the case for the Japanese"
It’s not in my experience.
Having said which, spotting and discussing factual errors in articles from The Onion seems to be a fairly absurd pastime…
What’s an Irelander? All my in-laws regard themselves as the Irish.
It’s a whimsical way of referring to the Irish. "Irelander: there can be only one", etc.
