The Onion's news parody is ridiculously hilarious, but also terrifying in the point it's trying to prove. The report covers the launch of the new Sony HD-340 nose buds that offer crystal-clear smells with optimal nasal comfort when plugged into your nostrils. The video also reports that a wide variety of fragrances can be purchased at the online odor store, with more than 22,000 smells to choose from. The minute and half of laughter also reminds us of that technology is developing at an incredibly rapid pace. We also can't deny that the tech market is flooded with new electronics and upgrades each and every day, bombarding us with news updates more than ads. The Onion reminds us that maybe this is all getting a little bit ridiculous.
With multiple user testimonies, this parody makes sure to take this product launch very seriously. Well-enacted and told in a professional tone, the parody is clever and awfully sarcastic, but most importantly, it's just hilarious.
