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.
