No. I don't like it. (don't don't like it?) I don't care for it.
I have never visited the website proper, and I've maybe only stayed on a page that was Onion-related three times, at most, and always less than a minute.
It's a premise to the site that I interpret as dry, trying-too-hard, nonsensical sarcasm parody. I only like two of the above types of humour, but having them combined is horrible.
The internet's version of The Daily Show / Colbert Report leaves me feeling and thinking, 'what else is on?', always.
(I don't respect Jon Stewart, Stephen Colbert's alter-ego, and I barely can tolerate Steve Carell.)
