Of course, if this was from The Onion, the three books would be Fifty Shades of Grey, Kenny Loggins' autobiography, and Jimmy Carter's Revolutionary War novel.

Not my discovery, but:

it was more "lol but sad" but I thought it was a parody when I first read the "NACCP Reconsiders Award for Donald Sterling" headline this weekend.

Just picturing his agent going, "Oooh, Donny. This is really going to hurt your chances getting that NAACP honor..."

Is that what Beez in the Trap is about?

Pretty sure the patron in question is just trolling, but still:

This is the same work of fiction that former U.S. First Lady Laura Bush, an ex-librarian, said was her favourite children’s book. She told The Wall Street Journal in 2006 she even had photos of her twins, Jenna and Barbara, jumping on the belly of their father, George W., when he read to them. No assault charges were laid against the girls.

That book does get a little dark in some places:

more "news of the weird" than onion-like admittedly, but whatever, great article

Jenny Parsons, the owner of the Seaside restaurant in the town, said she fears the smell of the whale, which is about 500 metres from her business, will deter customers.

Parsons said she would like to see the whale towed to another location to finish rotting and then return its skeleton so it can be featured as a tourist attraction.

“The whale has got to go,” Parsons said. “But I think we have a limited amount of time to figure out where we could put the whale so we don’t lose the valuable part of the whale.”

"I was like, 'Dudes I have to piss so bad,'" Swonger said. "So I just went over to the wall [of the reservoir].I leaned up against the wall and pissed on it. Right there on the wall, dude. I don't know else how to describe it."

City officials disagree. "When you see the video, he's leaning right up because he has to get his little wee wee right up to the iron bars," Portland Water Bureau administrator David Shaff told the Oregonian. "There's really no doubt what he's doing."

when city officials make public statements about the size of your penis to the local paper, it's probably time to move

I assumed it was a Portland thing, like turning a blind eye toward Nike or not being able to pump your own gas.
