art imitating life and all that

one of the following stories is in the
the onion

, and one of them isn’t. and yet they are eerily similar, right
down the photographs of the offending bloggers.

“mom finds out
about blog”

:

“”I don’t have one of those sites that’s a big tell-all
about one-night stands and wild parties,” Widmar said. “I mostly
write about the animation I like or little things that happen to me
and my friends. But there are definitely things in there that I
wouldn’t, well, write home to Mom about.””

“Student punished
for comments made in online journal”

:

“”The dean told me that what I’d written wasn’t school
appropriate,” said Juhl, who was Valley’s homecoming king this year
and also was president of its drama club. “He said it wasn’t
appropriate for a journal. I just feel like I’ve been violated,
like they’ve punished me for expressing my personal
opinion.””

can you spot the satire?
