The Falling Man


Do you remember this photograph? In the United States, people have taken pains to banish it from the record of September 11, 2001. The story behind it, though, and the search for the man pictured in it, are our most intimate connection to the horror of that day.

The Onion - Mother Comes Pretty Close To Using Word ‘Streaming’ Correctly


PATERSON, NJ—Family sources told reporters Tuesday that local mother Karen Burkhart came fairly close to using the term "streaming" correctly during a recent conversation.

"She likes that Orange Is The New Black show and told us that she started 'stream-watching' a couple of episodes," said daughter Melanie Burkhart, who was reportedly surprised by her mother's nearly accurate usage of the technical jargon.

"I thought, wow, she actually got really close to the actual meaning of the word. She almost nailed it. And this is the woman who asked if the internet was as good as the online. It's certainly the most precise she's been in a long time."

At press time, Burkhart's children decided to give it to her, claiming that she got close enough.

'Ask a Slave' Makes Depressingly Stupid Tourist Questions Hilarious


Actress and comedian Azie Mira Dungey used to work as a historical re-enactor at Mount Vernon.

And because George Washington's old stomping grounds are staffed with people acting out roles they might have had during the George Washington days, and Dungey is black, she played the role of a slave named Lizzy Mae.

Now, she's made her experiences fielding actual stupid questions from actual stupid tourists into a video series that not only invites laughter, it encourages people to think a little harder about how we lionize the Founding Fathers as paragons of morality.
