This is probably one of the best videos they have done:
US Treasury using Cash4Gold.com (the onion)
It was funny. Selling the trillions of dollars of Gold at Fort Knox for $200 Billion. The Onion's done better though.
I hate those Cash4Gold advertisements though. They put a nerdy-looking jewish guy on there with glasses thinking the public will say, "oh he's jewish, he must know money!".
My favorite article by The Onion?
I loved it because as wacko as it seems, it's not unbelievable that they would do something so insane.
The real irony to the video is that most of the US gold reserves were stupidly sold off many years ago. According to the CIA Gold reserves in the US value at $250 Billion. Even worse was the UK, Gordon Brown in the late 90's sold off 60% of the UK's gold reserves when prices were near rock bottom. These geniuses are now leaders of nations.
