I'm an avid follower of The Onion and it's provided no small amount of entertainment over the years, but about two paragraphs into this one I started to see some pretty strong parallels coming to the fore. I thought I'd make a thread because I'm pretty sure everyone here will be able to understand the humor of it! I really liked this part, personally:

"I thought it was pretty neat at first," said Gibson's wife, Heather. "After a while, though, it seemed like every conversation we had was about something the people on his mustard website said. One night I woke up at 3 a.m. and found him bathed in the light of the computer screen, posting his latest mustard thoughts to the message boards."

"That's when I realized the mustard had come between us," she added.

So what do you really think of these boutique mustards?

It Grey Poupon really boutique or is it just a fancy name to justify the price?

The funny thing is that until reading this article, I didn't think of posting on an Internet message board at three in the morning as peculiar behavior. I do keep odd hours, though!

Hmm, is it just as crazy to be posting at 3 AM about mustard as it is to be posting about guitar pedals??

It's like I'm looking in a mirror, an old, fat, mirror.
