This headline is funny and I'd like to give people a laugh however I refuse to cluck on or share the sun. Does it exist elsewhere

[–] qupada@fedia.io 41 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

This was about the only non-tabloid source I found, though they're just quoting the other article.

Yes, in Canada

This is the most nonpareil reply for which one could hope to the question, "does it exist elsewhere?"

Perfect subversion of expectation. Comedic precision.

God, that article was awful to read with The Sun pushing other articles between every damn paragraph.

[–] Skua@kbin.earth 76 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

The Sun is an insult to the craft of journalism and should not be posted anywhere

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 58 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

The Onion should start a sister news outlet called "The Moon" that just parodies The Sun.

[–] surewhynotlem@lemmy.world 22 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

I thought the sun was a parody site

[–] ThePyroPython@lemmy.world 20 points 22 hours ago (2 children)

Nope it's Murdock's prime method of inception for the lowest common denominator of the UK's working class, aside from Liverpool because they blamed the crowd for the Hillsborough disaster and therefore you won't find a copy of it sold in that city.

That's not an exaduration, it literally has tits on Page 3 (except on Sundays), regularly publishes the most outlandish celebrity gossip stories, and you'd be better informed by reading the shit smears on your used toilet paper.

[–] idiomaddict@lemmy.world 20 points 21 hours ago

 He estimated in 2014 that Liverpool's boycott of The Sun had cost its owners £15 million per month since the disaster, in 1989 prices.

Heartwarming

Their bosses booked the team into the Motel Mo.om in the Italian city of Milan but had confused it with the nearby Mo.om Hotel.

I'm surprised that two hotels in the same area are allowed to have essentially the same name.

[–] ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.de 21 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

One is a hotel, while the other is a motel.

[–] Lumisal@lemmy.world 12 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

The last one is a holiday inn

I mean if you were in charge of that kind of thing wouldn't you leave it this way on purpose just for the fun of it?

I just checked these on the map. If it’s the same one in the article they are the same building complex. It would be super easy to book the wrong one, it’s not like they’re across town from each other. They’re part of the same “storefront”.

Honey it was awful. I'm so exhausted, I couldn't sleep a wink in that horrible place. I went to use the bathroom and like 12 different people tried to felate me. Terrible, just terrible.

[–] floo@retrolemmy.com 53 points 22 hours ago* (last edited 22 hours ago) (2 children)

Oh, boo fucking hoe

Edit: that was a typo, but I’m leaving it

[–] neon_nova@lemmy.dbzer0.com 18 points 20 hours ago

I respect owning the funny typo.

If I was responsible for the safety and wellbeing of a flying tube with 200 people in it, I would absolutely be pissed about not being able to get a proper rest.

[–] Wazowski@lemmy.world 31 points 20 hours ago (2 children)

Why does this never happen to me?

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world 16 points 19 hours ago

"Hey honey, sorry about the late night call. I just wanted to check in to say I love you.

Hey, on an unrelated note, there is an orgy happening in my room. Like 13 people have DEMANDED to suck my dick since I checked in. And so far 3 women have had strapons. You know I can't last here! You KNOW how easily I submit to strong women with strapons! Ok, love you byeeeeee, mistress chloe is calling from down the hall...."

Why would you even try to sleep during an orgy? Go join in and get your hole.

Their bosses booked the team into the Motel Mo.om in the Italian city of Milan but had confused it with the nearby Mo.om Hotel.

I mean, come on... It's like they want people to end up there by accident.

At least 12 staff were made to stay in the seedy hub, which boasts a vagina-shaped spa bath.

What fragrances were available?

There's so many jokes here... where to start...

"accidentally"

[–] OhStopYellingAtMe@lemmy.world 11 points 7 hours ago* (last edited 7 hours ago) (1 children)

I mean, who hasn’t accidentally been booked into a sex dungeon and kept awake by a 24-hour orgy?
